Louis Erard spent three years with Worn & Wound shaping a regulator dial of fluted sunray lines and lacquer, and it now joins the brand’s Métiers d’Art collection.
Louis Erard today presents Le Régulateur Esprit Flinqué in two editions of 99 pieces each: Blue and Grey. The Blue first appeared in December 2025 with Worn & Wound, and the Grey is new.
For the first time at Louis Erard, the hours and seconds sit on skeletonised discs that appear to float above the dial. The eye goes first to the minutes, on a counter in deep blue or grey lacquer, read by the brand’s fir tree-shaped hand. The case is 39mm polished steel, and inside is the automatic Sellita SW266-1 calibre.
“The result is one of my favorite Louis Erard editions to date,” says Manuel Emch.
The Blue wears a beige calf-leather strap; the Grey carries its own tone from dial to strap, a quiet monochrome study.
