This new edition, Louis Erard X Alain Silberstein, is no longer just the result of a meeting, a moment of friendship or a flash of creativity. It is a manifest work. The story of Louis Erard, the story of Alain Silberstein and the story of their collaboration, which has already seen three episodes (the first edition in 2021, followed by a first triptych with a day/date, a regulator and a monopusher chronograph, and then a diptych with a day/date hand and a regulator), and of which this is the epitome.
