Le Régulateur Louis Erard X Sylvie Fleury Palette of Shadows

Measuring 39mm across and with a height of 12.25mm, the case of the Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Sylvie Fleury Palette of Shadows watch is manufactured from polished stainless steel, with a black PVD treatment. The gently flowing lugs embrace a glossy black leather strap, and together with the darkened case these elements allow the dial colours to pop beneath the domed sapphire crystal,  adding to the drama of the façade.


Retaining the traditional Régulateur layout with a 12-hour dial at the upper, a 60-seconds dial at the lower and with the minutes indicated via a central hand, the arrangement conforms to the equipoise achieved on previous régulateur models, however the avant-garde pairing of coral and matte magenta for the domed hours and minutes dials elevates the aesthetic giving it exceptional vibrancy. Recalling the lacquered cases of the ‘Palettes of Shadows’ artworks by Sylvie Fleury, black polished lacquer surrounds the dials, while elsewhere purity of design is achieved through the use of tone on tone hands, and an almost invisible script that declares the provenance of the piece across the centre from the 9 to the 3 o’clock.


Revealed through a transparent black caseback, the Swiss made Sellita SW 266-1 self-winding movement which powers the watch beats at a brisk 28’800vib/h and has a power reserve of a minimum of thirty-eight hours, maintained by the oscillations of the semi-skeletonised Louis Erard bespoke rotor.


A timepiece which boasts the exclusivity of a strictly limited release of 178 pieces, the Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Sylvie Fleury Palette of Shadows watch comes presented on a black glossy leather strap, secured to the wrist by a black PVD steel pin buckle and with the usability of quick change strap bars, the strap can be easily be exchanged.
