Like final yr’s watch, the dial right here stands by itself, however to a fair higher diploma. The primary Guilloché Most important featured the Louis Erard wordmark underneath the crystal. Right here, the dial is totally sterile, with no branding to be discovered, and positively no hour or minute markers on the guilloché ingredient itself (there’s a minute observe across the perimeter, including a sure layer of practicality to the piece). That is the side of the sequel that basically does really feel like an enchancment over the unique.
When it comes to specs, we’re taking a look at a 42mm case measuring 12.25mm thick, with a domed sapphire crystal. That is par for the course with Louis Erard today – their coolest designs are sometimes featured in watches with a case dimension (and 22mm lug width) that lots of lovers are leery of. Within the case of those guilloché dials, nonetheless, I feel one can argue {that a} extra expansive dial, made attainable by a bigger case, is an actual bonus. An automated Sellita SW261-1 retains time, and is seen by means of a show caseback.
Solely 99 items of the Excellence Guilloché Most important II shall be made, and the watch has a retail worth of CHF 3,900. Louis Erard
