Catalogue Essay
Instantly recognizable by his bold use of colorway and geometry, Alain Silberstein is the "enfant terrible" of watchmaking. Truly exemplifying Silberstein's vision of blending high horology with Bauhaus design, the Tourbillon Volant model released in the early 2000s immediately stands out with its cylindrical case, straight lugs and playful dial layout. Crafted in simple geometric shapes of primary colours, the dial hands showcase Silberstein’s light-hearted and whimsical approach to watchmaking.
The present Tourbillon Volant is executed in the utmost playful manner, the combination of bright coloured hands and Kandinsky inspired crown are signatures to the brand. The flying tourbillon stages at the lower part of the recessed dial, allowing for a greater view of the mechanics and perlage finishing.
Offered in excellent condition and numbered 1 of a limited series of 9 pieces, this rare timepiece is extraordinary with a distinctive artisanal flair. Accompanied by a handsome blue leather strap, this rare timepiece by the eccentric brand never settles to think inside the box.
