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

Bracelet

A bracelet in watches refers to the metal strap used to secure the watch on the wearer's wrist. It is attached to the lugs of the watch case and is typically made of flexible and detachable segments that can be adjusted to fit the length of the strap.


The bracelet is usually made of metal such as stainless steel, gold, or titanium. It consists of interconnected links or segments that form a flexible and adjustable band. The links are connected by pins or screws, allowing for resizing and customization to fit different wrist sizes. The bracelet includes a closure mechanism such as a clasp or buckle for secure fastening on the wrist.
