Swiss luxury watch brand Louis Erard extends the Excellence collection by presenting the Petite Seconde Couleurs. Available in three dial color choices (midnight blue, purple and ice blue), these timepieces feature a newly designed case.
The Excellence Petite Seconde model has a small second dial at six o’clock. The Couleurs series introduces a new case, aesthetically reworked and refined. The watch however retains signature components like fir tree crown and hands.
The movement powering the new Excellence Petite Seconde watch is the Swiss made Sellita SW261-1 calibre.
Each of these models comes with matching color grained calf leather strap. These three new models of the Louis Erard Excellence Petite Seconde are available in 39-millimetre cases made of stainless steel.
The retail price of each Louis Erard Excellence Petite Seconde Couleurs watch is 2,222 Swiss francs. These timepieces will be produced in limited series of between 100 and 150 pieces per year.
