Directly from France – YEMA Watches Introducing a bold, colorful, and unconventional timepiece designed by the legendary French watchmaker and modernist artist Alain Silberstein. Supercharged with YEMA’s micro-rotor Manufacture caliber, a DLC coated Grade 5 titanium case and stunning luminescent 3D markers crafted from Super- LumiNova Billight®.
This exclusive, one-time limited edition timepiece represents a fusion of fine watchmaking and high art. Limited to 500 timepieces, each case-back is engraved with a unique Limited Edition number.
TURNING TIME INTO ART
Alain Silberstein is known for his playful and colorful designs that blend art with horology. The black dial serves as a backdrop for a burst of vibrant and colorful geometric shapes: A bright red hour hand resembling a stylized triangle, a striking yellow minute hand shaped like an arrow, and a playful blue second hand in the form of a sea star.
The three-dimensional applied markers fully coated in Super-LumiNova drastically rise above the dial surface, adding depth and visual interest to this collector’s timepiece.
DUAL CROWN GRADE 5 TITANIUM CASE
The complex case design with its intricate multi-part construction has required advanced engineering and manufacturing techniques.
Designed from scratch by Alain Silberstein, the unique Grade 5 titanium case is black DLC coated with a microblasted finish.
The lugs are an integral part of the caseback which creates a seamless transition between the strap and the case, resulting in a fluid and integrated appearance. The focus remains on the clean lines of the case without extra protrusions.
The symmetrical and balanced appearance of the dual crown design adds a distinctive vintage-inspired aesthetic to this timepiece, as well as offering additional functionality: The first crown, finished in blue Cerakote® ceramic coating, operates the internal rotating dive bezel, while the time setting screw-down crown offers a comfortable 200m water resistance.
SILBERSTEIN SIGNATURE EXHIBITION CASE BACK
The sapphire exhibition case back showcases the intricate inner workings of
YEMA’s CMM.20 micro-rotor caliber. The black galvanic decorated bridges and the
red oscillating weight offer a modern and differentiating aesthetic.
Filled with symbolism and a sense of playfulness, the koi motif creates a unique timepiece of wearable art that brings a serene and calming element in stark contrast with the bold colors and geometric shapes of the watch face. The balance between tranquility and vibrant artistry makes the watch feel almost alive, evoking the grace and persistence of koi while capturing the essence of underwater elegance with Silberstein’s
signature flair.
ULTRA-BRIGHT 3D SUPER-LUMINOVA
Introducing a mesmerizing artistic dial with raised markers crafted from Super LumiNova Billight®, where creativity meets cutting-edge technology.

Billight® has developed a unique patented 3D process whereby Super-LumiNova is poured into polyester micro moulds to produce tiny blocks which, because of their increased volume, give off more light.
