Le Régulateur Gravé Bleu, Louis Erard’s Tribute to the Sector Dial

Louis Erard presents its latest release, the "Le Régulateur Gravure Bleu," a watch that, as the company describes, embodies the concept of the "Napkin Strategy." This well-known business term refers to a simple, concise idea, often improvised, symbolizing its ability to be quickly sketched on a napkin.

Louis Erard introduces Le Régulateur Gravé as a permanent addition to its Noirmont Métiers d'Art line, reinterpreting the sector dial with intricate traditional engraving. By presenting this non-limited model, Louis Erard further solidifies its distinct identity while making its rare design more accessible to a wider range of enthusiasts.

Alpina is known for offering a diverse range of high-quality timepieces at accessible prices, staying true to its philosophy of making fine watchmaking attainable. This year, the brand has teamed up with Fratello to introduce the Alpina X Fratello Alpiner Extreme Regulator, a bold and sporty timepiece designed for those who need a watch that seamlessly transitions from everyday wear to rugged outdoor adventures.

The watch comes in a 41mm stainless steel case that is 12mm thick. The case is built to handle extreme conditions with a 200m water resistance rating and a sapphire crystal protecting the dial. The caseback has a sapphire display, allowing a view of the movement inside.

The charcoal-colored dial is adorned with Alpina’s signature triangle pattern, creating a textured and dynamic aesthetic. The regulator layout enhances legibility, with a large central orange minute hand, a sub-dial for the hours at 10 o’clock, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. Applied indices and hands are generously coated with luminous material for optimal readability in low-light conditions.

Powering the watch is the Alpina AL-650 automatic movement, a modified version of the Sellita SW461. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz), it delivers a 38-hour power reserve. The timepiece is fitted with a stainless steel integrated H-link bracelet, secured by a push-button butterfly clasp for comfort and security.

Limited to just 99 pieces, the Alpina X Fratello Alpiner Extreme Regulator will be available exclusively through the Fratello Shop for a limited two-week period, ending on February 21st, 2025. The price is set at €2,062, approximately AED 7,978.
