Louis Erard 1931 Retrograde
April 27, 2009
Recently the well-known watchmaking brand Louis Erard has once again replenished its 1931 collection – the company’s most important line aimed at collectors and connoisseurs of Haute Horlogerie. The 1931 Retrograde watch supplements two previous models from this line but due to slightly changed design it will hardly make a set with them.
The new Louis Erard 1931 Retrograde is notable for the steel case whose dimensions have been enlarged: now the watch measures 44 mm in diameter. If compared with other watches from the collection this model does not have a black PVD treatment. The guilloche dial was also slightly modified. Together with the red color to accentuate some details the design of the dial has become simpler but brighter owing to the appliqué indices and silvery numerals. The day counter is placed at 9 o’clock while the retrograde date and retrograde power reserve - at 3 and 6 o’clock respectively. The dial is traditionally protected with AR-coated sapphire crystal. The back case is transparent. Water resistance is 50 meters.
The new Louis Erard watch accommodates ETA 2892 as a basic movement. The movement is equipped with a Soprod 9094 module which gives the watch the function of the retrograde date, power reserve and disc day indicator.
The new 1931 Retrograde goes together with a brown, black or chocolate imitation crocodile leather strap with stainless steel folding clasp.

Nautica NCS 46
The well-known manufacturer of sportive and divers’ watches Nautica is proud to present its new timepiece – Nautica NCS 46. This time the designers from the Nautica draw inspiration for the creation of a new watch from the diverse levels of ocean life.
The oceanographers traditionally distinguish 5 layers or zones of the ocean from the sunlight zone to the foreboding trenches. Each zone supports a balance of life and light. This idea is reflected in the multi-layered design of the NCS 46 watch. Perfectly calibrated disks form the basis of its intricate detail and function.
The new Nautica NCS 46 watch accommodates a Japanese chronograph movement. The watch features a 46-mm solid stainless steel case that reveals the dial with luminous hands and markers. The timepiece is 100 meters water resistant.
The new Nautica watch is available in two variants. The first one goes together with a genuine leather strap with color backing matching the accent colors on the dial details. The other is available in a stainless steel bracelet that matches the polished steel case.
