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.

Equation of time

Is a complication that illustrates the difference between mean solar time (average time) and true solar time based on the position of the sun. This difference occurs because the Earth's orbit around the sun is slightly elliptical, resulting in varying lengths of days throughout the year. Watches equipped with this function display the offset between mean time and solar time, allowing users to adjust their watches accordingly.
