|A native of Paris, Alain Silberstein created his own watchmaking firm at the end of the 1980s in Besançon, France. Trained as an architect and designer, he and a group of Swiss makers worked to revive the mechanical watch. These watches demonstrate extraordinary timekeeping and are also viewed as contemporary works of art. They are known for their unusual transparent cases which allow the movement to be appreciated from the reverse. Silberstein designs are famous for their Calder inspiration and use of colours.
