YEMA x Alain Silberstein

Presenting a vibrant and unconventional masterpiece crafted by the renowned French watchmaker and avant-garde artist Alain Silberstein. This striking limited-edition watch combines YEMA’s high-performance micro-rotor movement with a sleek DLC-coated Grade 5 titanium case. Enhanced by bold, luminous 3D markers powered by Super-LumiNova for outstanding visibility. Make way for the YEMA x Alain Silberstein Limited Edition.

This exclusive release is a seamless blend of horological craftsmanship and artistic expression, limited to just 500 pieces worldwide. Each watch features an individually engraved number on the case back, marking its unique place in this exceptional collection.

Alain Silberstein is celebrated for his imaginative approach, infusing art into watchmaking with dynamic colours and whimsical forms. This design features a deep black dial set against vibrant geometric accents. A bold red triangle-shaped hour hand, a vivid yellow arrow-shaped minute hand, and a playful blue seconds hand styled like a starfish.

The dial is brought to life by raised three-dimensional markers. All coated generously with Super-LumiNova, creating a stunning interplay of depth and light. This collector’s piece captures Silberstein’s signature fusion of creativity and horological precision.

The case showcases a complex, multi-component structure crafted with precision and leveraging advanced engineering. Originally designed by Alain Silberstein, it features a Grade 5 titanium body with a matte black DLC coating and a microblasted texture for a sleek, contemporary look.

Integrating the lugs seamlessly into the case back creates a smooth connection with the strap. Emphasising the streamlined, cohesive design without any excess elements. The twin crowns are symmetrically positioned for a balanced, retro-inspired appeal. The upper crown, coated in blue ceramic, operates the internal rotating bezel. While the lower crown handles time-setting and winding, merging form and function in this distinctive piece.

The sapphire case back reveals the finely detailed mechanics of YEMA’s CMM.20 micro-rotor calibre, where black-toned bridges and a red rotor add a distinct, modern edge. Adding a layer of symbolism, the delicate koi design graces the movement, bringing a sense of serenity and fluidity that contrasts beautifully with the bold geometric shapes and vivid colours of the dial. This harmonious blend of calm and striking design gives the piece a dynamic character, reflecting the elegance and resilience of koi while embodying Silberstein’s unique artistic vision.

Alain Silberstein has built a loyal fanbase, collaborating with various brands and leaving his unmistakable style with each one. The YEMA x Alain Silberstein is no exception, bringing that familiar boldness, and anyone who loves a punch of color and a quirky twist will get a kick out of this piece. Personally, I’m pretty smitten—it’s fun, refreshing, and deserves a round of applause. Plus, it’s incredibly comfortable on the wrist!

Collaborations thrive when they bring something fresh to the table, and this one’s no different. The playful blend of vibrant colours within a sleek black PVD case is eye-catching and checks all the right boxes for me.
