Independent watchmaker Louis Erard has been changing things up in recent years and the latest shakeup (aside from a new watch that we’ll get to) is the reorganizing of its catalog. Gone is the long-running Excellence collection, replaced by the Noirmont line, which is further segmented into three distinct categories: the classic Noirmont, the artistic Noirmont Métiers d’Art, and the Noirmont X for collaborations.
