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.

Introducing The New Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 270th Anniversary Limited Editions

Four elegant releases pay homage to the watchmaking artistic heritage

When a watchmaker celebrates 270 years of excellence, every anniversary becomes a testament to its rich legacy and continued superiority over the centuries. As the oldest brand to have continuously produced watches since its establishment in 1755, Vacheron Constantin knows well how to commemorate this historic milestone at the "Watches & Wonders 2025" exhibition, where it unveiled new releases within the "Patrimony" collection. Now, the brand presents four distinguished models within the "Traditionnelle" collection, each with a unique character reflecting the brand's vision of blending heritage with modernity.

Traditionnelle Manual-Winding 38mm

The 38mm Traditionnelle manual-winding model is available in platinum and pink gold, measuring 7.77mm thick. The silver dial showcases geometric patterns inspired by the Maltese cross, with small seconds at 6 o'clock. Each variant features sapphire crystal on both sides and is limited to 370 pieces.

Inside beats the calibre 4400 AS/270, a manual-winding movement with a 65-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz). Paired with a grey alligator leather strap featuring tone-on-tone hand stitching and an 18K gold pin buckle shaped like a half Maltese cross, each metal variant is limited to 370 pieces. Prices are available upon request.
