La Semaine Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein Khaki

Released in a limited edition of only 178 pieces, the La Semaine Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein Khaki watch brings a new contemporary colour tone to this exclusive collaborative series. A timepiece that is alive with playful shape-forms and vibrant nuances, this distinctive model features a day disc in the design language of the iconic Alain Silberstein Smiledays display, and comes presented in a beautifully executed titanium casing.

Manufactured by Louis Erard, but featuring the inimitable styling finesse of the acclaimed designer Alain Silberstein, the La Semaine Louis Erard X Alain Silberstein watch carries a 40mm grade 2 and grade 5 titanium case, finished with micro-blasted and polished finishes. It comprises of a rounded form, from which vertical brancards extend, lending the profile an airy aspect, and it is fitted with a pert conical-shaped crown. The titanium casing is complemented by a dial surface of matte khaki, whose wonderfully muted tone provides a stunning contrasting effect for the Alain Silberstein signature primary colours and graphic shapes.

Exhibiting a joyful take on the display of the day of the week, the model features the designer’s acclaimed Smiledays display, which replaces the day of the week with a “mood of the day” stylised face, housed within an oval-shaped aperture on the lower dial just above the date window at the six o’clock.

While the wearer moves through their week, the expressiveness of the little display will no doubt raise the spirits - even on a Monday morning, and perhaps serve as a reminder that time is always evolving and is ever-flowing. And, as the display is entirely at the discretion of the owner, it can be adjusted to suit their own bespoke weekday emotions.

Not limited to this highly original take on the day display, the façade is enlivened by a trio of instantly recognisable Silberstein hands. The hour hand takes the format of a perfect circle in bright red with a solid triangular marker, while the white minutes hand has a robust arrow-tip with a hammer counterweight. Both are complemented by an exquisite serpentine-like seconds hand in vivid yellow. All three reach out to minute markers rendered in khaki and black, with white indices in five minute increments, joined by a red example at the 12 o’clock location.

Revealed through a central sapphire section on the caseback, the élaboré grade mechanical Sellita SW220-1 calibre features a Louis Erard openworked rotor, equipping the movement with a power reserve of 38 hours and beating at 28’800vph.

An exceptional example of contemporary watch design which is defined by the originality of its animated dial arrangement, the La Semaine Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein Khaki watch is presented on a khaki nylon strap with a hook-and-loop fastener system. The model will be a limited release of 178 pieces.
