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.

ALTO

IN 2024, a new indie brand joined the world of haute horlogerie: ALTO Watches. Based in Paris, ALTO is a French watch brand founded by Thibaud Guittard, a former marketing manager for Audemars Piguet in the French market. The brand was established to bridge the gap between watchmaking and the creative arts. The name "ALTO" stands for "Art and Limited Time Objects," reflecting its commitment to artistic and exclusive timepieces.

 

The inaugural model, ART 01, draws inspiration from 1970s design, particularly the bold aesthetics of that era’s concept cars. Featuring a unique faceted titanium case and a complex sapphire crystal.
