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.

Christophe Claret

Christophe Claret is a renowned Swiss watchmaker who has been creating exceptional timepieces since 1989. He worked for several prestigious watch brands before founding his own company in 1989.

Christophe Claret is known for his innovative and highly complicated watch designs. His watches feature intricate mechanisms, such as tourbillons, minute repeaters, and chronographs, that require exceptional skill to create. 

The Christophe Claret brand is headquartered in Le Locle, Switzerland, and its watches are handcrafted by a team of skilled artisans in the brand's atelier. The company produces a limited number of watches each year, which are sold through a network of authorized dealers and boutiques around the world.

The Christophe Claret collection includes a range of exceptional timepieces, each with its own unique set of complications and design elements. Some of the brand's most notable watches include the Soprano, which features a minute repeater and a cathedral gong, the Maestro, which features a tourbillon and a retrograde date display, and the Poker, which features a fully functional poker game.
