Louis Erard is an independent Swiss watch manufacturer that was founded in 1929. The company was founded by Louis Erard and André Perret and produced its first watches in 1931.[1]
History
Founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds as a watchmaking school[2] in 1929, Louis Erard first sold watches under it's brand in 1931. In 1991, the company was sold and production moved to Le Noirmont. By 2003[3], the company was sold again and relaunched. Using mechanical movements from Sellita and Valjoux, Louis Erard has shipped over 200,000 watches from Le Noirmont,[4] including collaborations with Leeds United Football Club and Ultima Sports sports cars.
Signature Complication: The Regulator
Louis Erard continues to make watches with a regulator layout. In this layout, the hour, minute and second hand all pivot around different points. This layout was designed in mid-18th century for master clocks to offer the most accurate time readings available.
