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.

Glossary

Analog watch

It is a watch that uses hands and a dial to display the time.

An analog watch is a type of timepiece that displays time using mechanical or electronic components. It features an hour hand, a minute hand, and sometimes a seconds hand that rotate around a circular dial or face, which is typically marked with hour and minute indicators. Analog watches are powered by  quartz and mechanical, which can be manual or automatic movements. 

Analog watches come in a variety of styles and designs, from classic and elegant to sporty and rugged. They are often favored by those who appreciate the traditional look and feel of a mechanical timepiece, and who value the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into making them.
