Nature takes hold with the limited edition Excellence Régulateur geological releases. A trio of exquisite timepieces showcasing three different gemstones in an homage to the natural world. The first of which, the Louis Erard Excellence Régulateur Malachite evokes the essence of a fresh green woodland pasture brushed by German artist Gerhard Richter. Endowed with the ability to amplify positive energy, malachite is reminiscent of luxury watchmaking in the 1960s but takes on a decidedly contemporary feel here. The familiarity of a vintage piece, yet accessible, contemporary, light, natural. As if the silver and steel cladding were stripping the malachite of its somewhat dusty luxury connotations to reveal its lively, natural beauty.
A limited edition of 99 pieces.

Once again, Louis Erard is going off the beaten track by combining contemporary design and high-end watchmaking expertise in fine stone dials, geological time and mechanical precision, the visible signs of luxury and accessible fine watchmaking.
