FIL D’OR LOUIS ERARD X WIRE ART 34248AA52.BVA158

FIL D’OR LOUIS ERARD X WIRE ART: innovation and craftsmanship

With the Fil d’Or, Louis Erard continues its mission: to highlight artistic crafts, creative audacity, and artisanal expertise. This exceptional new collaboration brings together the Swiss watchmaker and Wire Art Switzerland, founded by Sylvie Villa and Mark Miehlbradt. Engineers by training and artists by conviction, they have repurposed machines originally designed for assembling microprocessors to create veritable micro-sculptures in gold wire.

A unique dial made from 2,320 strands of 24-carat gold

At the heart of this watch, the eye is captivated by a deep black lacquered dial adorned with 2,320 strands of pure gold – each three times finer than a human hair. These extremely delicate strands form the geometric cube emblematic of the Métiers d’Art, playing with light in a fascinating trompe-l’oeil effect. The reflections reveal changing facets, giving the dial a hypnotic depth and a contemporary aesthetic that is unprecedented in watchmaking.

A new form of watchmaking art

More than just decoration, the Fil d’Or Louis Erard x Wire Art (ref. 34248AA52.BVA158) invents a new watchmaking craft. Where these machines once connected the digital world, they now connect time to art. Each piece becomes a testament to innovation, technical diversion, and the fusion of scientific precision and artistic emotion.

Louis Erard, a catalyst for talent and ideas

True to its independent spirit, Louis Erard has once again established itself as a catalyst for talent and new ideas. After collaborating with master craftsmen and contemporary designers, the company has teamed up with Fil d’Or to create a timepiece that takes gold wire into a new dimension: that of measuring time.
