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.

Audemars Piguet

Established in 1875 by Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet, Audemars Piguet is a distinguished Swiss luxury watchmaker. The company is situated in Le Brassus, a quaint village within the Vallée de Joux, an area celebrated for its deep-rooted watchmaking heritage.

As one of the few remaining family-owned, independent watch companies since its inception in 1875, Audemars Piguet has upheld a prestigious reputation by crafting exceptional timepieces that merge technical advancements with superb craftsmanship. The brand is a member of the "Holy Trinity" of Swiss watchmaking, joining Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.

Audemars Piguet is renowned for its legendary Royal Oak model, launched in 1972. The groundbreaking design, created by the esteemed Gerald Genta, transformed the luxury watch sector with its striking, angular appearance and the utilization of stainless steel as a high-end material. The Royal Oak was succeeded by the Royal Oak Offshore, a more robust and sporty iteration, which has also become a coveted timepiece.

Over the years, Audemars Piguet has manufactured an extensive array of watches, encompassing complex features such as minute repeaters, perpetual calendars, and tourbillons. The brand's dedication to innovation and design since 1875 has endeared it to watch aficionados and collectors, ensuring its continued prominence in the luxury watch industry.
