In 2021, collectors will also get their hands on all upcoming limited editions and drops, which can be reserved with the purchase of non-fungible-tokens, which are private, personal and linked to the limited-edition watch of choice. This guarantees the certainty to receive the limited edition to their door, via free shipment and before anyone else does, and to hear all the behind-the-scenes stories during the exclusive webinars with Louis Erard’s designers. Plus, they get their points, too.
