Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin Unite for a Third Creative Collaboration

Louis Erard launched its first collaboration with Konstantin Chaykin in 2023, opening a bold new chapter in its ongoing series of artistic partnerships with independent watchmakers and designers.

Now, Louis Erard unveils Time-Eater III the final bite? Two versions of this one-eyed creature, inspired by Slavic mythology, are being released. For the first time, the model will be available through both brands, offered in two distinct colors and sizes.

frequency

frequency

the number of vibrations performed by the hairspring per hour. Frequency is an important indicator of accuracy and performance in a watch. The higher the frequency, the greater the accuracy and stability in timekeeping. A higher frequency improves the watch's accuracy and reduces the impact of external factors on its movement. Conversely, a lower frequency reduces the accuracy of the watch and makes it more susceptible to external changes. The frequency of a watch is measured in hertz (Hz).

The frequency of a watch varies among different timepieces and depends on the internal movement of the watch. In automatic mechanical watches, the frequency typically ranges from 2.5 Hz to 5 Hz, which translates to 2.5 to 5 vibrations per second. On the other hand, in quartz watches, the frequency is very high and can range in the tens of thousands of hertz.
