The Excellence Petite Seconde Guilloch features a four-part dial. The center catches the eye with its radiant draped pattern, a light trap where the flatness of the dial deepens into evolving waves, growing from the center. A classic effect of flinqu guilloch traditionally practised manually on a rose engine. This central panel is encircled, a classic transition that leads to the large hour circle, covered with a panier motif, finely staggered like scales. A new hoop closes the design, followed by a minute rail track. The small seconds subdial at 6 oclock displays the same guilloch patterns in darker tones.

The visual impact of guillochage is further accentuated by the two-tone anthracite combination within a 42mm case.

Remaining true to Louis Erards ethos, every detail is meticulously crafted, from the signature fir tree hands to the monogrammed crown and Sellita calibre movement. And with its affordable price point, it stands in stark contrast to other manufacturers in this category, making it an accessible luxury timepiece.

FROM THE SWISS JURA TO THE WORLD
Watchmaking is a passion that knows no borders. Undoubtedly inspired by the vast history and horological heritage of the Swiss Jura region, Louis Erards vision and reach are global maybe even universal.

UNBOUND BY HERITAGE
Louis Erard strives to break barriers and explore a fresh, creative side of horology. While our roots are proudly and firmly entrenched in the world of traditional Swiss mechanical watchmaking, we are not here to simply repeat the past.

Whether its reinterpreting the fundamentals, collaborating with other watchmakers and artists or offering a modern touch to centuries-old handcrafts, Louis Erard goes where no other Swiss brand dares.
