Owner Review: Louis Erard Le Régulateur Gravé Noir by @nautec07
For professional reasons, I haven’t worn watches for 17 years. It was simply annoying to take the watch off and put it on again several times a day – despite the safety folding clasp, which scores with a certain comfort, among other things. Especially when on one day I got stuck with the case on…
