Louis Erard reaffirms its identity through two major collections: Noirmont, replacing the Excellence collection, and 2300, succeeding La Sportive. The Noirmont collection is structured around three key pillars: the classic Noirmont model, Noirmont Métiers d’Art, and Noirmont X for collaborations.

The watch features the signature design of the Régulateur with a vertical display of time indicators. Inspired by the sector dials of the 1930s, Louis Erard brings it into the present, incorporating an age-old watchmaking technique: engraving. True to its philosophy, the brand treats watchmaking as a canvas for artistic expression, where the only rule is to break conventions — except those that define its unique identity.

“ This watch embodies the perfect expression of what Louis Erard stands for. A complex dial in its simplest form. Stripping down the visual and technical elements to their
essence, to the purest aesthetic, while bringing greater depth to the details and adding value to both design and craftsmanship. Manuel Emch”

An Iconic Piece of the Brand’s Identity

Le Régulateur Gravé perfectly exemplifies Manuel Emch's "Napkin Strategy": a watchmaking philosophy that draws inspiration from tradition while boldly reinventing itself.

This approach is founded on strong visual codes and complete creative freedom, all deeply rooted in the brand's rich heritage. With Noirmont and 2300, Louis Erard is redefining its collections to reflect its essence and independence.

The Reinterpreted Sector Dial

The sector dial, emblematic of 1930s watchmaking, is reimagined here by Louis Erard for the first time. On a finely grained dial, engraving creates a subtle play of reliefs through a brilliant galvanic treatment.

This technical and aesthetic precision highlights the key elements: time segmentation, optimized readability, concentric circles, and a railway track motif. The design, true to the "neovintage" spirit, captures the essence of the past while asserting a unique modernity that is distinctly Louis Erard.

A Tribute to Noirmont

The choice of the collection name—Noirmont—is not incidental. It reflects the soul of the brand, rooted in this region of the Swiss Jura since 1992.

More than just a geographical designation, Noirmont also symbolizes the inspiration behind the fir tree hands and crown, elements that are deeply intertwined with Louis Erard's identity.
