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.

Czapek

Czapek is a luxury watch brand with a rich heritage that dates back to the 19th century. The brand was originally founded in 1845 by François Czapek, a Czech-born watchmaker, in collaboration with Antoine Norbert de Patek, who later co-founded Patek Philippe. Together, they created exquisite timepieces that quickly gained a reputation for their exceptional craftsmanship and precision.

After a long period of dormancy, Czapek was revived in 2012 by a group of passionate watch enthusiasts who sought to restore the brand's legacy. They focused on preserving the original spirit of Czapek while infusing it with contemporary design and technology. Today, Czapek watches are known for their elegant aesthetics, high-quality materials, and meticulous attention to detail. Each timepiece is crafted with a combination of traditional watchmaking techniques and innovative methods, resulting in exquisite watches that showcase both the brand's history and its modern vision.

Czapek offers a range of collections, including the Quai des Bergues and Faubourg de Cracovie, each with its own unique style and features. The brand takes pride in its limited production, ensuring exclusivity and rarity for its discerning customers.
