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.

Glossary

Dial

The dial is a flat disc that serves as the face of the watch, displaying the time, marks, numbers, and indicators that show the time, date, and other functions and information on the watch.


The dial is mounted in the watch case and is the main visual element that allows the user to read the time. It usually consists of a circular disc with the necessary time units such as hours, minutes, and seconds. Numbers, marks, hands, or windows are placed on the dial to indicate the appropriate time. The display can be marked with numbered indexes, represented by hands, or through digital windows.

In addition to providing time reading, the dial may have other elements such as a power reserve indicator, date display, moon phase indicator, or sub-dials for various functions. The dial is designed with diverse colors and patterns to add aesthetics and distinction to the watch.
