BaselWorld 2014 - Louis Erard

Louis Erard is a Swiss brand based in Le Noirmont that is producing very attractive, mostly mechanical, watches using reliable mass produced Swiss movements. Their style is clear and attractive emphasizing the watchmaking. The quality is good and the price attractive. Take a look through this selection of their offering and you will find many interesting pieces, regulators, chronos, very thin manual wind watches, etc. For me they push many of the right buttons. The only exceptions for me being the "open regulating organ" watches. That they could have decided not to do.

Key Points from the Discussion

Louis Erard's designs, particularly the regulators, appear familiar, raising the question of whether the brand also operates as a private label producer for other companies.
The blue Arabic numeral dials give some Louis Erard models a distinct nautical appearance, prompting interest in their potential MSRP.
The discussion is light on substantive replies, primarily offering acknowledgments rather than in-depth insights or debates.

Thanks for showing, Don! Louis Erard had nice watches, and the products are still attractive. Some of them, however, appear rather familiar, the regulators, for example. Maybe Erard is also active as private label producer for other brands? Marcus

after such a png time. I developed a liking for this movement, and I am always delighted to see a new model driven by it. Cheers, Magnus

Shame to see so many other brands' designs ripped off by Louis Erard.
