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.

Introducing Zentier & Watch Ho & Co. Present the Lapis Sauté Edition

A Limited-Edition Tribute to Mt. Fuji with a Striking Lapis Dial

Zentier is an independent watch brand founded by Morten Loewe, a former World, European, and British Open Latin American Dance-Sport Champion. Established in late 2020, the brand debuted its first model, the Zentier Chronograph, in December 2021. Known for its refined aesthetics, Zentier focuses on crafting stylish and elegant timepieces.

Now, the rising brand unveils its latest creation in collaboration with Watch Ho & Co., a Hong Kong-based watch-collecting community. Introducing the Lapis Sauté Mt. Fuji Edition, a special edition featuring a dial crafted from rare natural lapis stone. Each dial is carefully cut and polished, ensuring that no two pieces are alike, as the stone’s natural variations make each watch truly unique.

The Sauté collection takes its name from a dance term meaning "jump" or "leap," symbolizing grace and movement. This latest timepiece draws inspiration from Jackie Ho’s first encounter with the breathtaking beauty of Mt. Fuji during the launch of the Malachite Sauté.

Housed in a 36mm cushion-shaped case, the watch features a jumping hour movement, reflecting Morten Loewe’s commitment to both functionality and style. The entirely polished case measures 10.7mm thick and is topped with a flat sapphire crystal with anti-fingerprint and AR coating. The solid stainless steel case back is engraved with an artistic motif of Mt. Fuji, and the watch offers a water resistance of 50 meters.

The dial, made of natural lapis stone, displays a deep celestial blue hue, reminiscent of the vast night sky. The jumping hours are positioned at 12 o’clock, while the minutes are displayed on a rotating disk at 6 o’clock, both in white. Beneath the minutes display, Zentier’s black-applied logo plate completes the refined aesthetic.

At the heart of the Mt. Fuji Edition is the automatic caliber ST-1721 from the Chinese manufacturer Tianjin Sea-Gull, featuring a Jumping Hour mechanism. Operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz), the movement offers a 38-hour power reserve.

The watch is paired with a natural cow leather strap and a stainless steel pin buckle. Limited to 88 pieces, the Lapis Sauté Mt. Fuji Edition is priced at $1,088 USD (approximately 3,995 AED). The pre-order period runs from March 24th to 25th, 2025.
