Unique artistic vision and watchmaking mastery combine in these Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein . Both ‘Le Régulateur’ and ‘La Semaine’ share the same 40mm titanium watch cases. The case architecture consists of a frame with vertical sidebars known as “brancards,” flanked by a conical crown. Visual balance and intrigue are achieved through contrasting shapes, materials, and finishes, starting with micro-blasted and polished grade 2 and grade 5 titanium. 

These limited-edition watches offer the quintessential Alain Silberstein design elements, with his signature use of elementary forms and primary colors. Silberstein also mines a wealth of references, ranging from Bauhaus to the rich history of watchmaking, and his own iconic geometric visual language.

Le Régulateur presents a large white arrow hand for the minutes, a red triangle for the hours, and a small yellow serpentine hand for the seconds. 

La Semaine, with its three hands, date, and day displays, offers Silberstein’s special take on the weekly planner. Rather than traditional dates, the window presents playful smileys – small, stylized faces symbolizing different moods – from grey Monday to radiant Sunday. The smiley mood on display can be tailored to the wearer’s schedule.
