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.

Escapement

The escapement mechanism is a commonly used mechanism in mechanical watches that controls the release of energy from the mainspring and regulates the movement of the watch hands. The escapement mechanism is a type of mechanical mechanism that transfers pulses to the balance wheel in the watch, helping it oscillate back and forth. With each oscillation of the balance wheel, the gear system in the watch is able to advance a fixed amount, causing the watch hands to move at a constant rate. The escapement mechanism also produces the repeated ticking sound in mechanical watches.
