Famed for the signature design that almost all of his watches share, French architect and designer turned watchmaker Alain Silberstein’s timepieces have become increasingly sought-after thanks to their whimsical handsets, colorful designs, and the plethora of complications they often-times feature.
By utilizing colours and shapes and colors never seen before in watchmaking, Alain’s design philosophy quickly caught on as collectors saw the value in a unique design language removed from the traditionally conservative styling used by the vast majority of watchmakers.
As a result, the Krono Bauhaus 2 is a joyful piece of watchmaking exuberance. Its mechanical complexity works wonderfully to accentuate the variety of colors and shapes shown on the dial and handset. Powered by the Valjoux cal. 7751, based on the legendary cal. 7750, the Krono Bauhaus 2 is an annual calendar chronograph with a moon phase and day/night indicators. With Alain’s signature tall round case with eccentric pushers, the entire design is cohesive and complete, just as Alain’s timepieces often feel as the legendary designer-turned-watchmaker exhibits total unwavering control over his creative process.T
This is another Alain Silberstein watch with special black lacquered design on the side. One of the unique feature of this particular Alain Silberstein, the Krono Bauhaus 2 is a limited edition of 999 pieces (in reality much less) and comes set in a 40mm stainless steel case with colourful lacquered (燒青殼 ) sides. My previous one has green, blue and yellow (camouflage) design and this one comes in black with silver lines.
