EXCELLENCE PETITE SECONDE AVENTURINE

Presented in an exclusive release of only 99 pieces, the Louis Erard Excellence Petite Seconde Aventurine is characterised by a beautifully executed dial arrangement.

An effortlessly stylish timepiece which has the elegant charm of a dress watch, but with contemporary styling cues, the stellar feature of the watch is without doubt its visually stunning dial, meticulously crafted from a sliver of deep blue aventurine. In contrast, the small seconds dial at the 6 o’clock location, has been rendered in silver-coloured opaline with a concentric snailing motif and it carries diminutive anthracite markers and a petite cross-hairs.

From the centre the rhodium-plated hour and minutes hands are of the company’s distinctive fir-tree shape, and they taper towards slender applied hour numerals and markers which seemingly float above the shimmering surface of the aventurine.

The case of the Louis Erard Petite Seconde Aventurine is manufactured from stainless steel, sized at 39mm across, with a height of 12.25mm and it is topped with a gently domed sapphire crystal. Enhanced with a polished finish, the rounded form of the casing is classical, and with a neatly tucked in crown, curving lugs and a trim bezel, it carries perfect proportions.

Inside, and viewable through the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback, the élaboré grade Swiss mechanical Sellita SW261-1 self-winding movement features a semi-skeletonised Louis Erard oscillating weight, and it boasts a power reserve of thirty-eight hours, beating at a brisk 28’800 vib/h.

Each model in this 99 piece limited edition comes presented on a deep blue calfskin strap, complemented by matching stitching at its attachment points and secured with a polished stainless steel pin buckle.
