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.

Certina

Certina is a Swiss watch brand that was founded in 1888 by brothers Adolf and Alfred Kurth in Grenchen, Switzerland. The brand is known for its sporty and rugged watches that are built to withstand the rigors of various outdoor activities. Certina watches are also known for their reliability, precision. 

One of the key features of Certina watches is their use of the DS (Double Security) system, which was introduced in the 1950s. The DS system is designed to enhance the durability and water resistance of the watches, and it involves a series of features including a reinforced caseback, a thicker crystal, and a crown protection system.

Certina offers a range of collections, including the DS Action, DS Podium, and DS-8, And other groups. The DS Action collection is particularly popular among divers and features water resistance up to 300 meters, while the DS Podium collection is designed for motorsports enthusiasts.
