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.

Vibration

Vibration

It’s the oscillating movement of the balance wheel, which is a key component of the watch's regulating system. The balance wheel vibrates back and forth at a specific frequency, often measured in beats per hour (BPH) or Hertz (Hz). This vibration is controlled by the escapement mechanism and helps regulate the movement of the watch, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The frequency of vibration can vary depending on the specific watch movement, with common frequencies ranging from 18,000 BPH to 36,000 BPH. Higher vibration frequencies generally result in increased precision and smoother motion of the watch's hands. The vibration of the balance wheel is a fundamental aspect of mechanical watches and contributes to their functionality and timekeeping accuracy.
