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

Cuvette

Is a cover or back of the watch case that is used to protect the movement or internal components of the watch. It is typically made of metal and designed to fit the watch movement comfortably, providing a protective barrier against dust, moisture, and other external elements. The cuvette can be opened or removed to access the movement for maintenance or adjustments. It often features engravings or markings that provide information about the watch, such as the brand, model, serial number, or decorative designs.
