Louis Erard ventures into new cultural territory with the Louis Erard × Astro Boy, a collaboration that fuses Swiss precision with the spirit of a timeless icon. More than a watch, the Louis Erard × Astro Boy is a story told through time — a meeting of nostalgia and innovation, of art and engineering. Limited to just 178 pieces, this collector’s edition is a tribute to imagination itself, and to the dreamers who continue to believe in a better, more human future.
Astro Boy is more than just a character; he is a symbol of empathy, coexistence, and hope. Created by Osamu Tezuka, the father of manga, this small yet powerful android was born from grief, built to replace a lost child, and destined to fight injustice with compassion. A robot more human than many humans, Astro Boy has come to represent the possibility of harmony between man and machine — an idea that feels profoundly relevant today.
This special edition watch captures that spirit in every detail. The dial becomes a cinematic stage where Astro Boy takes flight, his figure not printed but fully applied in sculptural layers that bring depth, volume, and movement to life. Behind him, a shadowed villain looms subtly in black, while the skyline of Metro City stretches across the engraved surface in vertical satin finish. The composition evokes motion and story — a snapshot of courage and humanity suspended in time.
The collaboration with Tezuka Productions ensures authenticity down to the finest line. Original Astro Boy illustrations have been reimagined and meticulously adapted for the dial, giving each watch a sense of narrative and emotional resonance. The caseback features a custom engraving, a quiet tribute to Astro’s enduring legacy and the future he fought for.
Built upon the foundation of Louis Erard’s newly launched 2340 collection, the watch embodies a perfect balance between technical mastery and creative expression. Its integrated architecture combines brushed titanium and polished steel for a sleek, futuristic presence. Measuring just 8.95 mm thick, the 2340’s design showcases years of research and refinement, culminating in a lightweight yet powerful silhouette that defines the next era of Louis Erard craftsmanship.
