Alain Silbersten Cyclope Noir Limited Edition
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 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. Offered here we have one of Silberstein’s more understated designs, the Cyclope Noir, with its 38mm stainless steel case boasting Silberstein’s signature design elements with its perfectly circular profile boasting small straight lugs and a triangular yellow-tipped winding crown. However, its understated design comes from its black dial that only boasts two hands, a yellow curvy seconds hand and a red hour hand that appears like an eye with its white center that operates as a floating jump hour display, with its digital hour marker changing to the next hour on the hour, every hour. An understated option for someone who wants to explore Silberstein’s unique design language, this is the watch to dip your toes into Silberstein’s design language.
THE DIAL Featuring a black dial with two hands, a yellow curvy seconds hand and a red hour hand that appears like an eye with its white center that operates as a floating jump hour display, the Cyclope Noir speaks to a more understated design language than Silberstein is typically known for.
THE CONSTRUCTION Featuring a stainless steel case in Silberstein's signature design with its perfectly round profile featuring unique pusher shapes and straight lugs, the Cyclope Noir wears exactly as a fan of the brand would expect.
