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.

CVD

CVD coating, or Chemical Vapor Deposition, is an advanced technique in watchmaking used to enhance durability and aesthetics. The process involves placing the watch component in a vacuum chamber which removes air and pressure and where gaseous chemicals react at high temperatures. These reactions cause a thin, solid layer of material, often diamond-like carbon (DLC) or other specialized coatings, to bond with the surface at a molecular level.

This precise, controlled application ensures a uniform and ultra-hard finish, significantly improving scratch resistance, and corrosion protection. CVD is also highly versatile, allowing for a variety of finishes, including matte, glossy, and vibrant colors, which remain vivid and consistent over time. As a result, watches treated with CVD coating combine lasting performance with striking, modern aesthetics.
