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.

crown

The crown is a small button or knob, typically cylindrical in shape, located on the side of the watch case. It is used to perform various functions related to operating and adjusting the watch.

The primary purpose of the crown is to set the time on the watch. By pulling the crown out, it disengages from the movement, allowing the wearer to rotate it to adjust the hands and set the correct time. Once the desired time is set, the crown is pushed back in to re-engage with the movement, securing the time adjustment.

In addition to time setting, the crown may have other functions depending on the features of the watch. It can be used for manual winding in mechanical watches by turning it manually, providing power to the mainspring. Some crowns may have multiple positions, allowing for adjustment of other functions such as date, day.

The crown is often designed with a secure surface or adorned with the brand logo or decorative element, making it easy to use.
