Breguet watch

A watch capturing the quintessence of time, a unique object viewed with a new eye; such are the latest creations of Alain Silberstein. Traditional watchmaking is reconciled with creative vitality. Technology begets poetry. These collections embody the thought processes of a craftsman, transforming inert matter into vitality. Design and mechanism become one. The architecture of an Alain Silberstein creation is styled down to the last micron. A warm aura blunts the sting of time, muting the cold demands of technological prowess. Freedom. Freedom to break the bonds of time and discover a more relaxed tempo of life.
Alain Silberstein's personal history has been rather unusual, this Parisian interior architect and designer by profession became a watch architect in Besancon at the end of the 80's by creating his own watch company. Luck gave a helping hand to his passion for watches.
At a time when the disappearance of mechanical watchmaking seemed almost inevitable, he joined the very restricted club of Swiss manufacturers who were behind the rebirth of the mechanical watch.
In his workshop on the banks of the Doubs river, Alain Silberstein creates and produces each year with the help of his 15 assistants, including 4 watchmakers, nearly 1,000 watches in different collections.
Exceptional timepieces like the tourbillon, perpetual calendar, sports chronograph watches, jewelry watches with diamonds and art watches with cloisonned dials, have again become part of the former capital of French watchmaking.
Alain Silberstein creates watches for everyday wear that are resolutely contemporary and genuine works of art. The movements are visible through the transparent back so that the exceptional finish of the piece can be admired.

In 20 years, Alain Silberstein has been able to demonstrate that innovation, quality and service can enable a French brandname to take its place beside the famous Swiss watchmaking names.
