Louis Erard was founded in 1931 in the Swiss Canton of Neuchatel and had since then created watches under its own name or as a private label for other brands. In 2019 Louis Erard gave the design keys to its signature Excellence Regulateur model to iconoclast designer/architect Alain Silberstein.

The result is nothing short of bombastic! Silberstein’s distinctive geometrical shapes and vivid colors add an element of suave cool to the watch.

Hours are indicated via a red triangle on a subdial at 12 o’clock, seconds via a large central yellow arrow shaped hand, whereas the seconds are indicated via a swirly blue hand at 6 o’clock and the power reserve indication is at 9 o’clock.

Limited to 178 pieces the Louis Erard X Alain Silberstein is a perfect example of Silberstein’s Bauhaus style and a fun and quirky take on the regulator design. The present example is offered in “like new” overall condition with its full set of accessories intact.
