Title: Alain Silberstein iKrono
Post by: peanut on March 31, 2010, 03:40:16 PM
I always have a soft spot for AS watches.  In my last window shopping trip I found the AS that I like and I think it will be a wonderful weekend watch that is missing in my collection   ;D    With this then I can wear AP RO (Mon, Wed), GO Pano (Tue), Blancpain Leman (Thu), Others-Speedy, Ball, etc (Fri), AS (Sat, Sun).  At least, I will see the Smilling faces on AS on sat and sun!   :Laughing_on_floor:

Dennis, good to know another person appreciate Alain Silberstein watches. AS watches are unique in terms of design. They combine arts and technology. Although their movements are not in house, they are highly finished and with exceptional quality. AS watches are tier 1 watches comparable to JLC, VC, etc. A basic AS watch after discount is slightly less than RM20k.  Not the one James showed - that one is probably more expensive than my house or car. Some may think that it is expensive for a "toy watch" but if you look at the artistic design, the case materials and the finishing (all top class), the price is actually ok. It is just not for everyone! ;D
