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.

Caliber

Caliber, is a term that describes the engine of a mechanical watch, through a reference number for each watch, and this number indicates the size and shape of the watch movement, and is also used to identify the origin of the watch or its maker.

Each watch manufacturer or brand typically has its own set of calibers, which may vary in terms of design, complexity, and features.

Calibers can be categorized into different types, such as manual-winding calibers that require manual winding of the crown to keep the watch running, or automatic calibers that use a rotor to automatically wind the mainspring through the movement of the wearer's wrist. There are also quartz calibers, which are powered by a battery and utilize electronic circuits to regulate timekeeping.

The caliber number or code is often assigned by the manufacturer to identify a particular movement or model. It helps watchmakers, collectors, and enthusiasts differentiate between different watch models and understand the technical specifications and features of a specific watch.
