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.

Breguet

Breguet  the brand was founded in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, a Swiss watchmaker considered to be one of the most innovative horologists in history. The brand is known for its technical prowess, elegant designs, and rich history.

Breguet watches are famous for their high level of complexity and precision, and have been favored by many famous historical figures, including Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie Antoinette. Some of the brand's most notable inventions include the tourbillon, a mechanism designed to improve accuracy by counteracting the effects of gravity on a watch's movement, and the Breguet overcoil, a type of balance spring used in many modern watches.

The brand's collections include the Classique, Tradition, Marine, and Type XX, among others, and many of its watches feature complications such as perpetual calendars, moon phases, and minute repeaters.
