Always interested in seeing a Silberstein. That's a very nice one, every Silberstein design has something interesting about it. Enjoy your new watch.
I got my first Alain Silberstein back in 1992 in Cannes, France after I had seen it on the cover of a German wristwatch magazine, at the time he was essentially unknown. The Swiss always sniffed at Silberstein because he wasn't Swiss, so what could he possibly know. Anyway, I've got twelve Silberstein's from the 90's, plus a Silberstein wall clock that sits in my foyer and strikes once at each hour. He is way under appreciated for all of the ideas that he introduced that the Swiss thought were sacrilege, or impossible, like putting a PVD coating on the movement, case and bracelet, using diamonds on a steel watch, covering a watch case in rubber and leather, using cloissone to cover a curved watch surface, the use of bright blue, red and yellow as focal points, and more. Many people think they are cheap watches, cheaply made. Not so, they are very well designed and constructed using well finished Swiss movements.
Here are a few of my Silbersteins. 1. Krono Noel 1993, 100 pc edition and COSC rated, I believe this was the first design made with a blacked out dial that eventually became popular decades later. 2. The 'Black Storm' chrono using a Frederic Piguet movement, cloisonne applied to bezel and case, and 3. A Kronomarine with 200m WR with matte PVD finish, screw down crown.
