Life, by its very nature, is not a stationary occupation. As a watch observer it is easy to lose track of people and brands.
I first laid eyes on an Alain Silberstein watch traveling from Helsinki to London. It was the GMT alarm with the trumpeting angel on the dial. I still hold out hope that someday I will find that watch and be able to own it.
I have, in many ways, been chasing Alain Silberstein. First as a potential buyer/customer, and now as someone anxious to write about him and his watches. He and his watches have taken on an almost mythical quality for me. I have met him once - very briefly - at BaselWorld 2011, and since then I have not seen or heard much.
His website says "see you soon!" so I hope that means just a bit more patience is required. For now, we are waiting for Alain Silberstein.
