The Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein Smile-Day Blue & Tourbillon Régulateur Blue

Louis Erard has spent recent years defining a very specific place for itself within contemporary Swiss watchmaking. Its strength lies in clarity of design and advanced mechanics. That balance has become central to Louis Erard’s identity.

That design awareness is especially visible in the brand’s collaborative work, where Louis Erard has shown a rare ability to absorb the language of an outside creative without losing its own. One of its most notable collaborations is with French designer Alain Silberstein, who has, over the years, developed a visual vocabulary that is instantly recognisable, one in which hands, markers, and displays become a composition of shapes as much as instruments of timekeeping.

Baltic

Baltic is a French watch brand founded in 2017 by Etienne Malec and Renaud Tellier. The brand specializes in producing vintage-inspired mechanical watches that are affordable and stylish.

Baltic watches are designed to evoke the classic style of mid-century timepieces, with clean lines, simple dials, and elegant cases.

One of the most popular models from Baltic is the Bicompax chronograph, which features a vintage-inspired design with a 39mm case, two subdials, and a tachymeter scale on the bezel. The watch is powered by a hand-wound mechanical movement that provides a power reserve of up to 42 hours.

Another popular model from Baltic is the Aquascaphe, a diving watch that is water-resistant up to 200 meters. The Aquascaphe features a 39mm case with a rotating bezel, a date function, and SuperLuminova-coated hands and markers for easy readability in low-light conditions.

In addition to its core line of watches, Baltic also offers limited-edition models that are designed to appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. These limited-edition watches often feature unique colorways or special features, such as a sapphire crystal caseback that allows you to see the mechanical movement in action.
