Catalogue Essay
Instantly recognizable for his bold use of color and geometric forms, Alain Silberstein is a maestro of watch design. The Tourbillon Volant model, released in the early 2000s, exemplifies Silberstein's vision of merging high horology with Bauhaus aesthetics. Its cylindrical case, straight lugs, and playful dial layout immediately capture attention. Crafted in simple geometric shapes with primary colors, the dial and hands reflect Silberstein’s light-hearted and whimsical approach to watchmaking.
This particular Tourbillon Volant is executed in a delightfully playful manner, featuring vibrant hands and a Kandinsky-inspired crown—hallmarks of the brand. The flying tourbillon is positioned at the lower part of the recessed dial, enhancing visibility of the intricate mechanics and showcasing a sandblasted finish.
Accompanied by all original accessories and an additional rubber strap, this example in 38mm is offered in excellent condition and is numbered 28 of a limited series of 200 pieces. Fitted with a stainless steel bracelet and clasp, the watch was overhauled in Japan in 2024 and is ready to be worn. With its remarkable design philosophy and exceptional craftsmanship, this special piece from the eccentric brand never shies away from thinking outside the box.
