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.

Dual-axis tourbillon

Is an innovative and advanced complication of the traditional tourbillon mechanism, designed to improve the accuracy of time display by compensating for the effects of gravity. What sets the dual-axis tourbillon apart is the additional rotational axis, allowing the entire tourbillon assembly to rotate in two different directions simultaneously. This enhances precision and performance in watches, while also showcasing exceptional craftsmanship in the watchmaking industry.
