Alain Silberstein an architect and designer started his brand in 1990, together with his wife Sylvie. The company specialised in watches with modern, extravagant and colourful designs, inspired by the German Bauhaus movement.
His French flair brought a little fun to the world of Swiss watchmaking, as can be seen from our collection. Sadly the Silberstein company has now closed down, making the watch even rarer and more collectable.
Most ALAIN SILBERSTEIN watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually ALAIN SILBERSTEIN's self-winding movements need to rotate 650 - 800 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.
Definitions:
- 《CW》 - Clockwise winding direction;
- 《CCW》 - Counterclockwise winding direction;

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your ALAIN SILBERSTEIN winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winder and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
