Louis Erard and watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin bring back their frog-faced regulator, and this time let colour change its mood.

Gerd-Rüdiger Lang introduced the Digiteur without hands in 2005, and its jumping-hour idea now returns dressed in three soft pastels.

Louis Erard spent three years with Worn & Wound shaping a regulator dial of fluted sunray lines and lacquer, and it now joins the brand’s Métiers d’Art collection.

Olivier Mory, a watchmaker based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, developed a tourbillon regulator movement exclusively for Louis Erard, now paired with Alain Silberstein’s signature hands.

Louis Erard and watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin turn a regulator into the Frog Princess of Slavic myth, suited in samurai armour.

In 2005, founder Gerd-Rüdiger Lang made the Chronoswiss Digiteur, a mechanical watch without hands, and twenty years later it returns in stainless steel.

Vianney Halter, the independent watchmaker behind Le Régulateur’s industrial design, returns with Louis Erard for a second regulator, now in a silver monochrome dial.

Konstantin Chaykin, the independent watchmaker who made Russia's first tourbillons, wanted more complexity for the Time Eater he shares with Louis Erard: specifically, a tourbillon.

Chronoswiss casts the Strike Two Nugget in solid 18ct red gold, crafted by the independent watchmakers of Lucerne as a tribute to the gold rush.

Chronoswiss took the serpent as its model for the ReSec Snake, and its green dial is guilloché by hand in the brand’s Lucerne Atelier.
