Louis Erard continues to enliven métiers d’art with a contemporary perspective and an impossible challenge: to make the most exclusive craftsmanship accessible, this time with the extreme practice of miniature marquetry featured on the dial. Each dial is handmade, piece by piece, by an independent artisan, Bastien Chevalier, based in Sainte-Croix. At such a size, marquetry is pushing the boundaries of its own discipline. With such a pattern, marquetry becomes madness. No wood marquetry dial has ever been available in a watch for less than 4,000 chf.
