Swiss luxury watch brand Louis Erard presents new Excellence Régulateur watches with fine stone and artisanal glass dials. Three models are available: the Excellence Régulateur Aventurine, Excellence Régulateur Lapis-Lazuli, and Excellence Régulateur Malachite. Each of the three editions is limited to 99 pieces.
Louis Erard Excellence Régulateur Aventurine, Lapis-Lazuli and Malachite
Cutting stones and glass to meet the finesse of a watch dial is a great challenge. The dial has two levels and the material is cut to reveal the regulator’s snailed opaline dual counter. The hours are displayed at the top, the seconds at the bottom, and the large signature fir tree minute hand is in the centre. Discreet glossy silver indexes further showcase the technicality of the regulator.
Louis Erard Excellence Régulateur Aventurine
The Excellence Régulateur Aventurine stands out with the cosmic world inspired sparkling inclusions on its dial.
Louis Erard Excellence Régulateur Lapis-Lazuli
The Excellence Régulateur Lapis-Lazuli radiates a deep azure color of early dawn. The Excellence Régulateur Malachite’s dial reminds us a woodland pasture brushed by German artist Gerhard Richter.
Louis Erard Excellence Régulateur Malachite
Each watch has a matching calf nubuck leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching. “Deep” blue for the Excellence Régulateur Aventurine. “Oceania” blue for the Excellence Régulateur Lapis-Lazuli. “Basilico” green for the ’Excellence Régulateur Malachite.
Complete with a polished stainless steel pin buckle and functional catch spring bars enabling the strap to be changed quickly.
