Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
Louis Erard Le Régulateur Grand Feu Enamel
Louis Erard unveils its emblematic Le Régulateur model adorned for the first time with a traditional Grand Feu enamel dial. This exceptional timepiece embodies the perfect marriage of craftsmanship and fine contemporary watchmaking.
This is a first for the Louis Erard: the use of grand feu enamel on a watch with a regulator. The polished stainless steel case, 39 mm in diameter, houses an ivory-coloured dial crafted in grand feu enamel using the traditional techniques of Donzé Cadrans S.A. The hour and seconds counters at 12 and 6 o'clock respectively add an extra touch of elegance, highlighting the two-tone enamel details. The numerals are light, fine and discontinuous, echoing the new contemporary identity of the brand. Le Régulateur Grand Feu Enamel, in a limited series of 99 pieces, returns to the essence of this ancestral craft.
Louis Erard has embarked on a remarkable journey, undertaking both technical and artistic challenges in collaboration with Donzé Cadrans, a pioneering force in this domain since 1972. The utilization of ivory enamel, with its precise formulations, reflects the brand's unwavering pursuit of perfection.
