On Center Stage: 82 Years Later, it’s Still There
When master watchmakers Louis Erard and André Perret brought their first timepiece to market in 1931, they had a dream. Erard wanted to show watch aficionados that watchmaking expertise, flawless quality, and small complications can go hand-in-hand with affordable prices. The company went through difficult times, but Erard never wavered from his goal of creating high quality mechanical watches at affordable prices.
82 years after the first Louis Erard timepieces were introduced; the brand continues to celebrate the virtues of the mechanical movement. The Louis Erard 1931 hand wound 47207AA21.BDCL21 model is a classic example of why Louis Erard timepieces are prized by watch aficionados and other watchmakers around the world.
This classically styled 40 mm stainless steel timepiece features a continuous small second hand at 6 o’clock, raised Roman numerals, and elegant Dauphine style hands. The handsome 17-jewel hand wound ETA Peseux 7001 movement is decorated using Côtes de Genève engraving and blued screws that can be viewed through a transparent observation window on the caseback.
The exquisitely crafted Louis Erard 1931 hand wound 47207AA21.BDCL21 model is equipped with an anti-reflective scratch resistant sapphire crystal and has been fitted with a hand stitched croc patterned genuine leather strap with a folding stainless steel clasp. This fine Swiss made timepiece is water resistant to 165 feet and comes with a two-year Louis Erard limited warranty.
