Unique artistic vision and watchmaking mastery combine in this Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein timpiece.

La Semaine, in a 40mm titanium case 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.

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. 

La Semaine has the quintessential Alain Silberstein design elements, with his signature use of elementary forms and colors. Silberstein also mines a wealth of references, ranging from Bauhaus to the rich history of watchmaking, and his own iconic geometric visual language.

Driven by a customised automatic Sellita SW220-1 calibre, visible through a transparent caseback. It offers a 38-hour power reserve and features a special openworked oscillating weight adorned with a black lacquered Louis Erard symbol.  Limited to 78 pieces, available as part of the complete set of three, the Tryptique.
