Independents

Lately one could argue that there has been an overdose of collaborations, none more so that the Louis Erard Alain Silberstein watches which have a character of their own thanks to Silberstein's input but when one is promised a limited edition of 178 piece...  

There had been little coverage on the Stephen Silver release last week except on Quill and Pad. I believe due to the limited coverage, the watches are still available so I hope you manage to source one (or two!)

I have always been a fan of the Regulator but this time the only way of accessing one was to buy the box set so I thought why not?!

It has become one of the few accessible limited editions as many tend to be sold out these days when announced.

Which is in keeping with many original Silverstein watches (triangle, square, etc.) ...

A true rarity in this world. Your sought-after car story makes me want to move to Malaysia! Unfortunately, here in California, especially the Silicon Valley, there's so much money (a lot of it is very new money), and a younger/inexperienced clientele base... 

I would have written a letter of complain to the top management at Stephen Silver to tell them of your experience. Every member of staff in a company irrespective of their position represents the company they work for. Anything they say would reflect on t... 

I'll follow your advice next time!

of the company will be quite appalled at the service you received. You would be doing them a favour.

Lovely!

I think they are lovely too. Most importantly the titanium case, NATO strap and the dimensions of the watches make them very wearable. Not quite a world class movement but one buys these watches for the dials and fun factor. The case construction is actua...
