Louis Erard 2300 Sport Chronograph Rainbow

Originating from La Chaux-de-Fonds, Louis Erard have always placed great emphasis on combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Over the years, the brand have cultivated a unique identity, known for creating Swiss-made timepieces that are both accessible and distinctly refined. With the 2300 collection, Louis Erard introduces a sportier, more dynamic line of chronographs, offering a fresh take on their earlier La Sportive series, now integrated under the “2300”.

Design And Iterations

While Louis Erard’s history have largely focused on dress and everyday watches, the 2300 chronograph marks a turning point, offering a more performance-oriented collection. Breaking from conventional chronograph layouts, the brand have embraced a bold vertical configuration, with oversized sub-dials at 12 and six o’clock along with a small-seconds sub-dial at nine o'clock. This design choice lends the watch an immediately recognisable look and aligns with the brand’s penchant for inventive aesthetics. The three limited-edition versions of the 2300 collection introduce a lively palette that reflects the brand's progressive approach. The 2300 Chronograph Rainbow featuring a black dial with a striking rainbow minute track, injecting boldness and flair. The 2300 Chronograph Khaki Orange pairs a rich green with vibrant orange accents, offering a rugged, adventurous appearance. Meanwhile, the 2300 Chronograph Blue Yellow combines maritime blue and vivid yellow, evoking a sporty, nautical theme.

Each dial maintains a high level of readability, marked by contrasting chronograph hands and carefully chosen accents that enhance its visual appeal. At the heart of these chronographs is the Valjoux 7750 movement, a staple in high-quality Swiss watchmaking, renowned for its reliability and 48-hour power reserve. These design details ensure that the collection appeals to a new generation of watch enthusiasts who seek both style and function. By integrating modern materials, bold colour schemes, and a well-regarded mechanical movement, Louis Erard have successfully rejuvenated the chronograph category, presenting a series that feels both contemporary and rooted in their heritage.
