La Semaine Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein 75357TT02.BTT88
Released in 2021 as part of Louis Erard's second-ever collaboration with Alain Silberstein following the duo's first collaboration in 2019, the Le Triptyque Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein collection was a trio of timepieces that each featured a unique set of functions while also being limited to just 178 pieces each. Offered here, we have the La Semaine variant, which displays the day and date in a rather intriguing way. With its whimsical polychromatic dial emanating blues, reds and yellows as is Silberstein's signature, the Le Semaine also displays the date via one of Silberstein's more iconic pieces of design, the "Smileday", which uses increasingly happy smiley faces to display the days of the week as the weekend approaches. Beyond its dial's similarity to its sister models, the Le Semaine shares the same 40mm case as its two sibling models. However, rather distinctively, it features vertical sidebars or 'brancards.' These sidebars then suspend the Le Semaine's circular 'tuna can' style case on the wrist, much like De Bethune's signature openworked lug design. Finally, just like its two siblings, the Le Semaine is made from two different materials with different surface finishes, a micro-blasted grade 2 titanium for its strap attachments, case, and bezel and grade 5 titanium for its vertical sidebars with a bright a polished finish. A stunning watch with an interesting way to display the date, this is the most friendly watch of the trio for sure.

Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein II 85358TT02.BTT88
Offered here is the Regulator variant, or the Le Régulateur II as it is known, that follows on from the pair's original 2019 collaboration. Sharing the same 40mm case as its two sibling models, the Régulateur is an exceedingly unique timepiece that features vertical sidebars or 'brancards.' These sidebars then suspend the Régulateur's circular 'tuna can' style case on the wrist, much like De Bethune's signature lug design. Furthermore, to highlight the various pieces of its case, the Régulateur is even made from two different materials with different surface finishes, a micro-blasted grade 2 titanium for its strap attachments, case, and bezel and grade 5 titanium for its vertical sidebars with a bright a polished finish. Featuring the most vital piece of Alain's visual style is the Le Régulateur's dial. Black with a silver subdial and multi-coloured hands made from various shapes, the Le Régulateur blends yellow with red and blue to create a visual delight and allow each constituent of the regulator's display to remain clear and legible, yet colourful and emphatically Silberstein-esque.

Le Chrono Monopoussoir Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein 74359TT02.BTT88
The Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein Le Chrono Monopoussoir is a collaborative timepiece designed by historic watchmaker Louis Erard and architect and designer Alain Silberstein. Released within Louis Erard and Silberstein's second collaboration - a trio of watches with 178 pieces each, the Monopoussoir is the more complicated of the three due to its monopusher movement, the cal. SW500 MPCa and features Alain Silbverstein's whimsical design language in abundance. Displayed behind a sapphire crystal caseback, Louis Erard has left the cal. SW500 MPCa's industrial aesthetic on display to contrast the Monopoussoir's whimsical dial with Alain's distinct design language on show with multi-coloured hands made from various shapes. Beyond its dial, the Monopoussoir features an incredible distinctive case design. Sharing the same 40mm case as its two sibling models, the Monopoussoir is an exceedingly unique timepiece that features vertical sidebars or 'brancards.' These sidebars then suspend the Monopoussoir's circular 'tuna can' style case on the wrist, much like De Bethune's signature lug design. Furthermore, to highlight the various pieces of its case, the Monopoussoir is even made from two different materials with different surface finishes, a micro-blasted grade 2 titanium for its strap attachments, case, and bezel and grade 5 titanium for its vertical sidebars with a bright a polished finish.
