Louis Erard is excited to announce a new and extraordinary collaboration with the talented contemporary Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury, culminating in an exclusive release of their Régulateur timepiece.
This stunning watch creatively mirrors a thoughtfully arranged makeup palette, harmonizing playful aesthetics with a touch of sophistication, all while presenting a contemporary interpretation of classic timekeeping.
Artistic Design and Functionality
Entitled the Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Sylvie Fleury Palette of Shadows, this remarkable watch showcases a vibrant selection of colors reminiscent of an open makeup kit.
Staying true to the distinctive regulator format, it presents separate displays for the hour, minute, and second hands—a tribute to the precision techniques historically utilized in both observatories and horological workshops.
In this unique edition, the hour is indicated by a coral-red sub-dial at the top, while a deeper magenta-red displays the seconds at the bottom.
The minute hand is centrally located, adhering to traditional regulator aesthetics.
This arrangement creates an eye-catching contrast with the lively sub-dials set against a sleek black background and a black-coated stainless steel case, reminiscent of a chic makeup box.
Limited Edition Details
Fleury’s artistic signature subtly enhances the dial with a tone-on-tone inscription that deepens the collaboration’s essence.
Since 2018, Sylvie Fleury has transformed the concept of makeup palettes into significant artistic statements, employing sculpted canvases that echo the designs of beauty products.
Her work explores the nuances of color and texture, encouraging viewers to rethink everyday objects as valuable forms of art.
The limited edition Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Sylvie Fleury Palette of Shadows is restricted to just 178 pieces, embodying Louis Erard’s dedication to crafting exclusive timepieces.
The watch features a 39mm case and boasts a thickness of 12.25mm, housing the automatic Sellita SW266-1 movement.
Utilizing an “elaboré” finishing technique, this movement provides a power reserve of 38 hours, easily visible through a tinted sapphire crystal case back that offers a glimpse into its intricate mechanical artistry.
A black lacquered leather strap further enhances the watch’s elegant design.
