Louis Erard has spent recent years defining a very specific place for itself within contemporary Swiss watchmaking. Its strength lies in clarity of design and advanced mechanics. That balance has become central to Louis Erard’s identity.
That design awareness is especially visible in the brand’s collaborative work, where Louis Erard has shown a rare ability to absorb the language of an outside creative without losing its own. One of its most notable collaborations is with French designer Alain Silberstein, who has, over the years, developed a visual vocabulary that is instantly recognisable, one in which hands, markers, and displays become a composition of shapes as much as instruments of timekeeping.
Bicompax is a term used in watchmaking to describe a type of chronograph display layout that features two sub-dials symmetrically arranged on the dial. Typically, these sub-dials are located at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions on the dial, with the chronograph minute counter located at 3 o'clock and the running seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock.
The term "bi" in bicompax refers to the fact that there are two sub-dials, while "compax" is short for "complex" or "complicated". The bicompax layout is a popular and classic design for chronographs, and is often used in vintage-inspired timepieces.
