This superb vintage Louis Erard timepiece not only keeps you on time, it also takes you back in time.
The 1930’s were a time when major changes were sweeping the world. When the first Louis Erard watches were introduced in 1931, the Empire State Building had just been completed and The Star-Spangled Banner had recently been adopted as the United States national anthem. It was a time when many men were beginning to replace their trusty pocket watches with something new: a practical, reliable wristwatch.
The elegant 40 mm limited edition Louis Erard Vintage Small Seconds 66 226 AA 01 introduced at Baselworld 2014 celebrates those momentous times with a nostalgic re-interpretation of the classic men’s wristwatch. The vintage three-hand configuration features a beautifully finished silver-tone dial with a traditional small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, along with an easy-to-read and completely modern date window at 3 o’clock.
