The latest release from Louis Erard marks a bold step into the realm of cultural storytelling, merging fine watchmaking with one of the most influential pop icons in history, Astro Boy, the beloved creation of legendary manga artist Osamu Tezuka. Limited to only 178 pieces worldwide, this collaboration represents a first-of-its-kind partnership for the brand, blending high horology with Japanese pop culture in a tribute to empathy, innovation, and coexistence. The Louis Erard 2340 x Astro Boy is built on the sporty new 2340 design, featuring a satin-finished titanium and polished stainless steel case with a refined 40mm profile. At its heart beats the automatic Sellita SW300-1 calibre, offering 56 hours of power reserve and finished with a custom openworked rotor bearing the LE symbol.
A work of mechanical art and emotional storytelling, the layered dial transforms into a cinematic stage where Astro Boy takes flight above Metro City, rendered in three-dimensional appliqué with vibrant detailing and a dynamic trail of motion. The dial’s depth is accentuated by a satin-brushed finish, engraved city backdrop, and a subtle black silhouette of one of the series’ iconic villains, creating a powerful visual narrative of courage and compassion. Rhodium-plated, Super-LumiNova®-lit hands glide across this multi-dimensional scene, while a sapphire crystal and custom-engraved caseback complete the design. More than a collector’s piece, the Louis Erard 2340 x Astro Boy honors the spirit of Tezuka's timeless hero, a symbol of humanity, hope, and connection between man and machine. This limited-edition timepiece embodies the future of cultural luxury: a bridge between art, identity, and the enduring craftsmanship of fine Swiss watchmaking.LIMITED to 178
