Louis Erard Collaborates with GoS on the Latest Edition of Le Régulateur

In December 2021, Louis Erard and GoS Watches were brought together by Manuel Emch, the visionary behind Louis Erard's strategic revival and creative transformation. He found a kindred spirit in Patrik Sjögren, watchmaker and founder of the Swedish atelier GoS, renowned for its mastery of Damascus steel.

Together, they envisioned a timepiece that would seamlessly blend the essence of both Maisons: the technical precision and aesthetic refinement of the Swiss Jura, married to the artistry of a Swedish forge, where Damascus steel is meticulously crafted into mesmerizing patterns through an almost alchemical process.

century leap year

A century leap year refers to a specific year within a century that is considered a leap year in the Gregorian calendar. Normally, a leap year occurs every four years, but there is an exception for century years. According to the rules of the Gregorian calendar, a century year is only considered a leap year if it is divisible by 400. This means that years such as 1600 and 2000 are leap years, while years like 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not. This rule helps maintain the accuracy of the calendar system and ensures that the length of a year remains consistent over time.
