When you first cast your eyes on these little beauties known as the Alain Silberstein watches you could easy be excused for thinking they are the most wonderful looking, most fascinating and almost toy-like and yet exquisite watches in the world. But believe your eyes they are not toys. They are pure works of art. The closest thing to a genuine Alain Silberstein is an Alain Silberstein replica.
It’s actually pretty easy to see that an architectural influence has been at play with these watches and make no mistake Alain Silberstein is the creator-extraordinaire of all the Alain Silberstein range. It’s hard to believe that Alain has been making these watches for only twenty-odd years. Their excellence smacks of years of skill and dedication to the watch making trade. To view any of his collection you’d swear he’d been making them all his life. They are fascinating in that they have transparent backs so you can see the workings at play and admire the perfection of the mechanisms as they beat away inside their fine casings.
On the banks of the Doubs River is where you will find Alain Silberstein’s workshop where he makes these architectural works of art. It’s not surprising to note that Alain was actually an interior architect and designer of a Parisian background before turning his hand to watch-making in Besanson. In the late 1980s he created his own watch company just so he could pursue his passion and become known as the self-proclaimed “architect of time”!
The really interesting thing about Silberstein’s designs is that he only ever makes up to 1,000 watches of one design at a time. This is guaranteed to make these watches collector items in the future. This is a watch maker with not only a passion for excellence and originality but also a smart marketer who knows how to capture a market and hold it in his clutches. With six watchmakers working for Silberstein with around fourteen or more assistants at any time who design these original time-pieces based on art, sport, medley and Jewelry they are expected to be not only original and genuine but also contemporary and able to be worn as an everyday item of jewelry. You simply must check out his range or at the very least view the Alain Silberstein replica.
