Integrated bracelet, titanium, under four grand
By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ·
Louis Erard's first integrated-bracelet watch is named after the postcode of its home village, Le Noirmont. Cute. The watch itself is less cute and more solid: 40 mm, titanium and steel, a dark blue stamped dial, a Sellita SW300-1 automatic with about 56 hours.
The bracelet is the star, satin titanium with polished steel and a butterfly clasp. Titanium means it's light, which matters for a sports watch like this.
Downside: 5 bar of water resistance on a sports watch. That's, uh, not much. And no published thickness, which bugs me.
At around $3,700 it's a nice alternative to the usual suspects in the integrated-bracelet crowd. Just don't take it diving.
