The chocolate dial on my BROAD ARROW “TROPICAL DIAL” - MANUAL 85007M04 is truly stunning! It adds a touch of warmth and sophistication to this watch. The chocolate color is often associated with elegance and understatement, making it a timeless choice. The tropical dial also adds a unique dimension to this watch, with its nuances and variations in color that evoke the natural wear and tear of time. I enjoy this combination of classic style and distinctive character in this watch!

My Seed (lunar)

Louis Erard, founded in 1929 in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland) by Louis Erard and Andr&eacute; Perret, built its name on accessible mechanical watches and a signature regulator display before settling its headquarters in Le Noirmont, Jura. The brand targets enthusiasts seeking careful finishing, clear readability and strong value, powered by tried-and-tested movements.
<h3>Modern regulator and characterful dials</h3>
The regulator (central minutes with separate hour and seconds) is the house&rsquo;s visual DNA, deployed on sober, guilloch&eacute;, enamel-style or stone dials; for Louis Erard, the regulator is not a vintage nod but a daily, highly legible language. Recent references reinforce this stance while keeping wearable proportions and a classic profile, sometimes elevated by bold textures.
<h3>Author collaborations: Silberstein, Vianney Halter, seconde/seconde/</h3>
Since the 2000s relaunch, the brand has multiplied creative dialogues: colourful interpretations by Alain Silberstein, &ldquo;steampunk&rdquo; regulators co-signed with Vianney Halter, and playful readings with seconde/seconde/; these projects&mdash;often in 178-piece runs&mdash;expand the universe without sacrificing legibility. They position the regulator as a canvas for respected voices, at price points still contained for the segment.
<h3>Excellence and key editions: the line-up at a glance</h3>
The offer revolves around enduring pillars and limited capsules; the aim is a straightforward choice between dress watch, emblematic regulator and creative editions.
<ul>
<li>Louis Erard Excellence Regulator &mdash; brand signature with worked dials (guilloch&eacute;, stone), immediate legibility and fair pricing.</li>
<li>Louis Erard Excellence Petite Seconde &mdash; refined three-hander, warm textures (opaline, terracotta), a dressier alternative.</li>
<li>Louis Erard Excellence Monopusher &mdash; &ldquo;Triptych&rdquo; single-pusher chronograph with classic character.</li>
<li>Louis Erard Le R&eacute;gulateur x Alain Silberstein &mdash; geometric, colourful staging of the regulator language.</li>
<li>Louis Erard Le R&eacute;gulateur x Vianney Halter &mdash; revisited &ldquo;Antiqua&rdquo; codes with distinctive split sub-dials.</li>
<li>Louis Erard Le R&eacute;gulateur x seconde/seconde/ &mdash; pop twist (e.g., &ldquo;404 Error&rdquo;) on a regulator base, limited series.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Accessible independent: pricing, reach and audience</h3>
The positioning remains that of an &ldquo;accessible&rdquo; independent: proven Sellita calibres, proprietary modules depending on displays, a mix of direct sales and selected retailers; typical pricing ranges from roughly CHF 2,000 to CHF 4,000 for core pieces, with some collaborations around CHF 2,400&ndash;3,500. Output stays measured (not disclosed), with regular limited editions energising demand among curious collectors and wearers seeking distinctive yet wearable pieces.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Louis Erard suits those who want a readable, elegant Swiss watch that still stands apart. The regulator&mdash;its identity pillar&mdash;runs from the classic Excellence line to more expressive author collaborations, while the Petite Seconde offers a calmer entry point. To decide, weigh your appetite for the regulator display, dial texture (stone, guilloch&eacute;, colour), and interest in limited runs. To validate these pointers with real-world ownership, rely on Dialicious customer reviews.

The Louis Erard Assymetrique Automatique 40mm watch is a timepiece that stands out for its unconventional design. With its 40-millimeter case, it sits comfortably on the wrist. The term "asymmetrical" refers to the unique arrangement of elements on the dial, which breaks with the traditional symmetry of classic watches, thus offering a modern and bold look. Equipped with an automatic movement, this watch winds with the natural movements of its wearer's wrist.

(Mise &agrave; jour Novembre 2024)

The brand Serica was created in 2019 by J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget and 3 friends in Paris, France. The name Serica comes from a lost region at the end of the Far East that the Greeks and Romans named it like this. This place echoes the genesis of the brand, which aims to design quality mechanical watches in a neo-retro style, ready to follow you to the ends of the world.
The range includes watches such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/4512">Serica 4512</a>, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/5303">Serica 5303</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/8315">Serica 8315</a>. One of the particularities of this brand is that its name does not appear anywhere on the dial, in order to encourage the enthusiast to buy a design, finishes and proportions, and not just a name. In July 2023, Serica launched the Serica 5303 COSC, a chronometer version certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">Serica 6190</a> surfing on the bases of the brand's first reference, the Serica 4512. This 6190 follows the stylistic codes of the brand, lyre lugs, a choice of different dials and the possibility of choosing the position of the crown at 3 o'clock or at &ldquo;Destro&rdquo; mode at 9 o&rsquo;clock. This Serica 6190 is powered with the Soprod M100 caliber COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Certification) certified, like the current productions of the other 5303 and 8315 models.&nbsp;
Since November 21, 2024, Serica has been offering a very daring new collection... A dress watch off the beaten track called &ldquo;Parade&rdquo; under the reference 1174. These 4 figures, like all other Serica references, offer a symbolism derived from the golden number or divine proportions whose ratio between length and width is 1.174... A novelty offered for pre-order at &euro; 1,490 for one delivery planned for March 2025...
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Serica watch cost?</h2>
The prices of Serica watches change and differ depending on the model. Most cost between &euro; 990 and &euro; 1,890 depending on the models and finishes. The brand's GMT model, Serica 8315 GMT Chronometer costs &euro; 1,890 while the latest model launched by Serica, the reference&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">6190</a> is offered to &euro; 990.
Serica is independent and produces around 5,000 watches per year, all models combined.
