Alain Silberstein a 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 watch making 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 nearly 3,000 watches in
different collections. 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 ten years, Alain Silberstein has been able to demonstrate that
research, innovation and quality can enable a French brand name to take its place
beside the famous Swiss watch making names.
