Independent Swiss watch brand Louis Erard has once again teamed up with The Horophile to unveil a stunning new addition to its Art Deco-inspired timepiece collection. Building on their successful collaboration last summer, which saw the launch of a trio of limited edition La Petite Seconde Metropolis watches, the duo is back with a new version in a captivating rich green.
The new La Petite Seconde Metropolis stays true to the timeless aesthetic of its predecessors, offering a bold twist with its bright green dial. Featuring a 39mm polished stainless steel case, this variant continues the collection’s commitment to understated elegance. The round satin-finished dial features a gadrooned center, adding a rich texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth small seconds display, creating a balanced and harmonious design.
The Arabic numerals have been applied as silver transfers to maintain the watch’s simple yet sophisticated aesthetic, contributing to the clean and refined color scheme. One of the most striking elements of the watch is the skeletonized, stepped baton hour and minute hands, inspired by the silhouette of the Empire State Building. This subtle nod to the vintage glamour of New York’s Art Deco movement highlights the watch’s historical significance while adding a layer of architectural sophistication.
Powered by a Sellita SW261-1 self-winding caliber, La Petite Seconde Metropolis offers approximately 38 hours of continuous running time. The open caseback offers a view of the movement, which is adorned with a micro-rotor bearing Louis Erard’s signature logo, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship behind each watch.
Priced at 2,300 CHF (approx. 2,703 USD), the Louis Erard x The Horophile La Petite Seconde Metropolis in rich green offers a modern take on vintage design, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This watch can be ordered through the official Louis Erard website, where fans of the brand can discover more pieces from their exquisite collection.
For those attracted to the elegance of Art Deco-inspired design and exceptional Swiss craftsmanship, this new release represents a perfect blend of tradition and contemporary style. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of watchmaking that pays homage to a bygone era while offering modern sophistication.
