La Semaine LE x AS USA Edition

Unique artistic vision and watchmaking mastery combine in this Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein. The case architecture consists of a frame with vertical sidebars known as “brancards,” flanked by a conical crown. Visual balance and intrigue are achieved through contrasting shapes, materials, and finishes, starting with micro-blasted and polished grade 2 and grade 5 titanium.

This limited edition offers the quintessential Alain Silberstein design elements, with his signature use of elementary forms and primary colors.  La Semaine, with its three hands, date, and day displays, offers Silberstein’s special take on the weekly planner. Rather than traditional dates, the window presents playful smileys – small, stylized faces symbolizing different moods – from grey Monday to radiant Sunday. The smiley mood on display can be tailored to the wearer’s schedule.

FROM THE SWISS JURA TO THE WORLD
Watchmaking is a passion that knows no borders. Undoubtedly inspired by the vast history and horological heritage of the Swiss Jura region, Louis Erard’s vision and reach are global – maybe even universal.

UNBOUND BY HERITAGE
Louis Erard strives to break barriers and explore a fresh, creative side of horology. While our roots are proudly and firmly entrenched in the world of traditional Swiss mechanical watchmaking, we are not here to simply repeat the past.

Whether its reinterpreting the fundamentals, collaborating with other watchmakers and artists or offering a modern touch to centuries-old handcrafts, Louis Erard goes where no other Swiss brand dares.
