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

Dividing head

A dividing head or division plate is a disc or plate that contains a series of evenly spaced holes or notches that correspond to specific divisions of time, such as minutes or seconds. It is typically used in conjunction with other tools and machinery in watchmaking to accurately set and adjust the timing functions of the watch. By aligning the appropriate hole or notch with a reference point, watchmakers can ensure precise division and synchronization of the watch's timing mechanism, allowing for accurate measurement and display of time.
