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

Corrector

 

 Is a protruding button located on the watch case that is used to adjust various functions or complications. By pressing it in a specific manner, depending on the type of watch and the functions it has. These functions can include the date, moon phase, or other complications that may not be linked directly to the crown of the watch.


The mechanism of the corrector varies from watch to watch, and there may be separate correctors for each function in the watch to independently adjust them. For example, there may be a corrector for adjusting the time and another corrector for adjusting the date.
