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.

Escapement

The escapement mechanism is a commonly used mechanism in mechanical watches that controls the release of energy from the mainspring and regulates the movement of the watch hands. The escapement mechanism is a type of mechanical mechanism that transfers pulses to the balance wheel in the watch, helping it oscillate back and forth. With each oscillation of the balance wheel, the gear system in the watch is able to advance a fixed amount, causing the watch hands to move at a constant rate. The escapement mechanism also produces the repeated ticking sound in mechanical watches.
