Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin Present the First Tourbillon Edition in Their Collaboration

A few days ago, Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin unveiled their third collaboration: the Time-Eater III, featuring the famous one-eyed monster design, an edition the two brands described as “the final bite,” which some interpreted as a hint that it would be the last in this distinctive partnership.

However, the collaboration didn’t end there. Today, the two maisons reveal a remarkable new addition: the first tourbillon regulator watch born from their joint efforts, a significant leap that takes the partnership to new heights, all while preserving the creative spirit that sparked it.

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.
