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

Dual-axis tourbillon

Is an innovative and advanced complication of the traditional tourbillon mechanism, designed to improve the accuracy of time display by compensating for the effects of gravity. What sets the dual-axis tourbillon apart is the additional rotational axis, allowing the entire tourbillon assembly to rotate in two different directions simultaneously. This enhances precision and performance in watches, while also showcasing exceptional craftsmanship in the watchmaking industry.
