From Parisian Interior Architect to Architect of Time
Paris is known for its
sophisticated and
artistic culture, so it is no surprise that
Alain Silberstein began his study in the arts there. Alain started pursuing his creative endeavours starting as a Parisian Interior Architect. Architecture is a unique blend of engineering and art requiring synergy of the left and right hemispheres of the brain to create a
unique masterpiece.
Alain’s background with a
sophisticated culture and interior architecture combined with his passion for
luxury watches led to an ideal formula for an
artistic yet
elegant watch brand. He started the Alain Silberstein brand in the late 1980s and has been
innovating in the industry ever since.
It is not too much of a stretch to say that Silberstein is also an architect of customer relations as well as
watches. His "after sale service" philosophy matches the
contemporary and genuine nature of the watches that he sells. Silberstein even has a unique definition of what a watch is:
For me, a watch exists from the moment it belongs to someone and that person starts adjusting it for himself. Before that it is nothing more than an inanimate object.
Arkitek Series
With so many resources around us that tell one what time it is, why should one wear a watch? Silberstein believes that it is the sense of identity, the difference between time and "my" time. Because of this he is known for delivering a
unique individualized brand of watches that speak to those interested in sending a message. The Arkitek series is certainly no exception to this reputation. Below are a couple of the different
limited edition Arkitek watches.
