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.
It is a specific type of material treatment characterized by its transformation into a blue color without the use of any coating. This color change is achieved by exposing the material to high temperatures, typically between 300 and 350 degrees Celsius, which results in the formation of an oxide layer on its surface. This oxide layer reflects light in a manner that creates a striking blue hue.
Bluing is often used on watch hands, screws, and other small components. It is highly valued for its aesthetic appeal, adding a touch of elegance and luxury to the overall watch design.
