The Louis Erard Petite Seconde collection is known for its high-quality dial selection. Teaming up with collector Amr Sindi, known as @TheHorophile on Instagram, Louis Erard has launched the Metropolis line. The Petite Seconde Metropolis is a love letter to Art Deco design — a well-executed blend of texture and typography in deep, verdant green. The dial is accented by white printing and the one-of-a-kind “Empire” hands, a reference to an icon of New York City's skyline. The watch carefully blends the early twentieth-century aesthetic with modern details, ensuring that the Petite Seconde Metropolis is an icon for the past, present, and future.
