What? Are they sold out already?

The embargo date/time for the press release was today 3 pm CEST. I put it up within a minute or two of their announcement. However, I did see the YouTube video was up a day or two ago… and if they send out 300 PR emails and everyone orders who gets the PR orders one, they are all gone instantly…

Louis Erard delivers this regulator as a sacrifice to a very strange creature: a grotesque saw-mouthed cyclops. A mythological figure reinterpreted by the master watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin. With 2 colour variations, in limited editions (each of 178 pie...

Cool video :)

I did say I wanted a purple watch.

Haha great video. A MONSTER!

A cool project and, I'm sure, another hugely successful collaboration for LE! A playful and accessible form of watchmaking that is making a broader pool of collectors happy! ;-) Thanks for sharing.

Agreed, however 'accessible' in this case is no question of price but of server availability and personal network latency (again!)

Strange times we live in!

Ouch! ;-)

Definitely, these are of course limited editions, so by definition their popularity implies they won't be fully accessible anyway....Only that the criteria for access are, for good or bad, a bit more democratic! ;-))

Bummer!

By: cazalea : April 25th, 2023-16:07

If this is of any consolation, I was not among those 300 press folks who pulled the trigger ahead of time.....but only because LE (like Rolex) never sends me anything! :-)))

A cool and fun watch

...

How did you get that already?

By: cazalea : April 26th, 2023-02:36

Or did you see it at the show?

I saw it at last W&W

By: Watchonthewrists : April 26th, 2023-07:03

Super cool 👹👍

Congratulations my friend. I like it a lot

Finally a smaller size

By: displaycaseback : April 25th, 2023-19:23

I'm happy to see that Louis Erard has finally embraced making a regulator under 40mm. Only if their Vianney Halter collab was 39mm instead of 42mm.

it i was the fact, i ll buyone of each...

Very well made video. Quite frightening. A bit like the watches, really.
