When Louis Erard meets an insider with a passion for fine independent watchmaking, they dont just talk, they create. The result is a new collection base for Louis Erards 39 mm Petite Seconde: three variations (slate, salmon, tobacco) on a New York-inspired Art Deco style revisited in a resolutely contemporary spirit.

This Metropolis watch is based on the Louis Erard Petite Seconde, classic in its 39 mm steel case, with its LE signature crown the only place where the brand logo appears. Everything else is new, built like a journey between two times, between two centuries, between the Roaring 20s and our own 20s. The result is the invention of a new style: neo-deco, a concatenation of Art deco and the contemporary spirit.
