    Really cool… I love some of the collabs they’ve done in recent times. The Alain Silberstien collab was awesome too. What do you think of the build quality etc? I haven’t really handled anything from Louis wears before and due to the limited nature of the bits that I like I don’t think I’m likely to be able to before I inevitably pull the trigger

    Build quality of Louis Erard? I've got a triple date Louis Erard that I've had for 10 years (purchased from a very nice TZ-UKer) and I have no complaints over its build quality.

    At one time I understand that Louis Erard watches were OEM'd by Zeno. I don't know if they still use Zeno, though.

    Louis Erard has been on the market since 1929 and they make interesting regulators, for example. In this watch there is a Selitta SW 266-1 movement which is an ETA 2824 clone. This movement has LE modified with a regulator module. The movement is completely standard in other respects when it comes to finishes, such as when the LE logo is milled out in the rotor. So a solid back would have been preferable instead I think. LE provides a 3-year warranty on the watch. The case is really nice with a great finish.

    I take the opportunity to send with a detailed picture also which shows the finish at the hand & dial.

    Looks like the dial/hands are beautifully finished!
