Brand vibe
Alain Silberstein trained as an interior architect. He's has spent nearly forty years refusing to let a watch look serious. For which, we applaud him. His design grammar arrived fully formed with the 1987 Krono Bauhaus: a red triangle, a blue square, a yellow circle, primary colors where other brands used polish. The OG company wound down in the early 2010s, after which his signature survived as the most recognizable guest designer in watchmaking, on Louis Erard regulateurs and tourbillons, MB&F, MeisterSinger and Ming. Update: Currently the site is under construction with the promise of a glorious return soon. We'll keep an eye on it. ***

Not enough information for a duty figure
The fields above are reported facts. None of them establishes customs origin: that depends on the watch's tariff classification and a substantial-transformation analysis, and what you actually pay also depends on the seller's shipping and duty-payment terms. Ask the seller for the country of origin and whether duties are collected at checkout, and confirm rates against official sources.
