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.

Corrector

Corrector

Is a protruding button located on the watch case that is used to adjust various functions or complications. By pressing it in a specific manner, depending on the type of watch and the functions it has. These functions can include the date, moon phase, or other complications that may not be linked directly to the crown of the watch.

The mechanism of the corrector varies from watch to watch, and there may be separate correctors for each function in the watch to independently adjust them. For example, there may be a corrector for adjusting the time and another corrector for adjusting the date.
