Louis Erard Unveils the Limited-Edition Gravée Main

Since 2021, Louis Erard has been redefining the boundaries of Métiers d’Art, from Grand Feu enamel and guilloché to wood marquetry, and soon, gold wire inlay. Now, Gravée Main opens a new chapter, paying tribute to one of the oldest crafts in watchmaking hand engraving.
Gravée Main represents a new milestone in Louis Erard’s Métiers d’Art series. This limited edition of 99 unique timepieces places hand engraving at center stage, with every metal element entirely engraved and finished by hand, a meticulous process that requires more than 50 hours of work.

Co-Axial

The Co-Axial is a mechanism used in Omega watches. It is an innovative gear system characterized by non-parallel axes that connect the main gear train with the escapement wheel. These axes are precisely adjusted to reduce friction and wear resulting from the continuous movement of the watch, thereby improving timekeeping accuracy and increasing the lifespan of the movement. This mechanism was developed by the british inventor George Daniels.
