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. 

Glossary

Cuvette

Is a cover or back of the watch case that is used to protect the movement or internal components of the watch. It is typically made of metal and designed to fit the watch movement comfortably, providing a protective barrier against dust, moisture, and other external elements. The cuvette can be opened or removed to access the movement for maintenance or adjustments. It often features engravings or markings that provide information about the watch, such as the brand, model, serial number, or decorative designs.
