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.

AM/PM indicator

An AM/PM indicator on a wristwatch is a feature that displays whether it is morning or evening. This feature is commonly found on digital watches and is usually represented by the letters "AM" and "PM" on the watch face. The indicator can be useful for people who need to keep track of time in 12-hour format and want to avoid confusion between morning and evening.

Some analog watches also have an AM/PM indicator in the form of a day/night disc that rotates to show whether it is day or night. This is often seen in watches with complications such as world time or dual time zone displays.

It's worth noting that many modern digital watches use a 24-hour format, which eliminates the need for an AM/PM indicator. In these watches, the time is displayed in a continuous cycle of 24 hours, with no need to distinguish between morning and evening.
