The Louis Erard watches designed by Alain Silberstein have garnered immense international success with each offering selling out within minutes.

The present Le Régulateur II takes Silberstein’s design language to a whole new level of panache and playfulness. Made in a limited edition of 50 pieces in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the UAE, it is cased in a 40mm brushed and polished titanium case with a vibrant dial never seen on the past creations.

The dial is in carbon fiber with orange indexes and a light blue outer track. An orange triangle indicates the hours on a subdial at 12 o’clock, a large central white arrow hand indicates the minutes and a small swirly yellow seconds hand is located at 6 o’clock. Indeed, trained as an interior architect and designer, one can’t help but notice the influences of painters such as Paul Klee, Kandinsky, Malevitch or their contemporary Keith Haring in the creation of this sophisticated timepiece.

Limited to only 50 pieces, Le Régulateur II “Year of the Fiftieth” is a perfect example of Silberstein’s fun and quirky take on the regulator design. With a combination of traditional Swiss watchmaking heritage and modern geometrical aesthetics, the present timepiece can only be described as a gratifying piece of mechanical art.
