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.

Chopard

Founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard in Sonvilier, Switzerland, the company has a rich history of combining traditional watchmaking techniques with innovative design concepts.

The L.U.C collection, named after the brand's founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard, is dedicated to haute horology and showcases in-house movements, exceptional finishing, and sophisticated complications.
