Louis Erard x GoS Regulator: Watchmaking Excellence at the Heart of Damascus Steel
Régulateur Louis Erard x GoS: Watchmaking Excellence at the Heart of Damascus Steel
A Journey between Switzerland and Sweden, between Tradition and Innovation
The collaboration between Louis Erard and GoS Watches is a meeting of excellence, combining Swiss know-how and Swedish craftsmanship. In 2021, under the impetus of Manuel Emch, visionary of the strategic renewal of Louis Erard, and Patrik Sjögren, master watchmaker and co-founder of GoS, an ambitious project was born: a unique piece that fuses the DNA of the two houses.
The Louis Erard x GoS Regulator embodies this synergy: the elegance of Swiss watchmaking design meets the raw power of Damascus steel, an exceptional material fashioned using a unique and secret process. It took more than three years of research to achieve this level of perfection. The result? An ultra-limited edition of 178 pieces, where each dial is truly unique, sculpted by time and the hand of man.
Honoring Damascus Steel: A First for Louis Erard
At the heart of this creation is the Damascus steel dial, a first for Louis Erard. This legendary material, with its naturally contrasting patterns, is the result of exceptional craftsmanship:
- Conny Persson, a Swedish master blacksmith, shapes each piece using an ancient fusion process.
- Patrik Sjögren then applies an exclusive bath, revealing the striking contrasts between the black and silver veins of the metal.
- Each dial is unique, inspired by the forests of Sweden and the Jura.
A Signature Design: When Watchmaking Meets Craftsmanship
The aesthetics of the Louis Erard x GoS Regulator reflect a perfect balance between tradition and modernity:
✔️ Regulator display: three separate blued steel hands for optimized readability.
✔️ Small seconds in a triskelion: the iconic GoS signature at 6 o’clock.
✔️ Sculpted flanges: hour and minute markers, precisely designed according to GoS‘s aesthetic principles.
✔️ 39 mm steel case: a contemporary size that enhances the dial.
✔️ Exclusive salmon leather strap: a tribute to the Nordic lands, a first for Louis Erard.
✔️ Second strap offered: calfskin, with pin buckle.
