Press Release: Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein x Watches of Switzerland Singapore.

 

TWO SHADES OF GREY 

Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein x Watches of Switzerland Singapore. Emblematic of Louis Erard unique identity and positioning, this new iteration of the regulator theme – a signature of the house, is a limited edition created and produced exclusively for Watches of Switzerland Singapore.

One capsule within a capsule. Louis Erard continues its collaboration with watchmaking architect Alain Silberstein by adding a third stage to the rocket: an exclusive collaboration with Watches of Switzerland Singapore, exclusive partner of Louis Erard in Singapore. The result is a variation of the regulator presented in June 2021 as part of the Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein collector's triptych. The regulator returns alone this time, still in a limited edition of 178 pieces — a symbolic number which means that together we are always stronger - in a variation made with six hands.

The dial is a playground for Alain Silberstein’s creativity. The result is a distinctive, pop piece, instantly recognisable, yet full of nuances. Alain Silberstein used his iconic palette of three fundamental colours — red for the hours, blue for the minutes and yellow for the seconds, this time having them vibrate on subtle shades of grey: medium grey for the large dial, light grey for the secondary hour dial at 12 o’clock, paired with a grey strap for complete harmony.

As for the case, Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein x Watches of Switzerland Singapore incorporates the elements of the triptych version. The case is made up of a tube container in microblasted grade 2 titanium with a transparent back, attached to polished grade 5 titanium vertical sidebars called “brancard” and flanked by a conical signature crown stamped with the Louis Erard symbol. The strap is made of breathable, ergonomic and adjustable nylon for enhanced wrist comfort. Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein x Watches of Switzerland Singapore is exclusively distributed through the Watches of Switzerland boutiques in Singapore.
