Louis Erard has released its latest timepiece, Le Régulateur Gravé Bleu, adding to its Noirmont Métiers d’Art collection. This watch merges historical craftsmanship with contemporary design, showcasing the brand’s signature regulator-style display in a fresh, modern execution. Rooted in 1930s sector dial aesthetics, the watch’s vertically arranged time indicators pay homage to traditional Swiss horology while embracing bold artistic expression.
The standout feature is the stunning blue-grained dial, which undergoes a meticulous galvanic treatment to create an unparalleled sense of depth. Delicate engraving work adds texture and character, while rhodium-plated numerals and a railway track motif enhance readability without compromising the minimalist elegance that defines Louis Erard’s ethos. Encased in a polished 39mm stainless steel case with a domed sapphire crystal, the watch ensures durability and clarity from every angle.
At its heart lies the Sellita SW266-1 automatic regulator movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 38-hour power reserve. The transparent case back reveals intricate movement decorations, including a custom open-worked oscillating weight emblazoned with the Louis Erard emblem. The signature fir tree hands and crown, a nod to the Swiss Jura’s natural beauty, complete the design.
Paired with a light grey-grained calf leather strap and quick-release bars, Le Régulateur Gravé Bleu offers timeless sophistication with a contemporary edge. Limited in availability and priced at $3,200, this watch is for collectors who appreciate artistry as much as mechanics.
