Silicon Dreams: A Watch Like No Other

2025-05-22 // LePodium.NET
A futuristic chronograph blending MEMS tech with bold design.

In a world where watch movements often cling to tradition like barnacles to a ship’s hull, the Time Changer x Alain Silberstein arrives like a bolt of lightning. At its heart lies a secret: microscopic silicon motors, thinner than a razor’s edge, humming with the precision of a Swiss metronome. This isn’t just a timepiece—it’s a rebellion against the ordinary.

The Invisible Revolution

Most wearers will never see the MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology inside, but its absence would be like removing the engine from a Ferrari. Traditional quartz movements plod along with the grace of a wind-up toy; SilMach’s creation dances. Two programmable motors, each no thicker than a fingernail’s edge, allow the hands to pirouette, pause, or even

—a whimsical nod to its digital soul.

Design Alchemy

Enter Alain Silberstein, the French maestro known for turning dials into canvases. His signature touches—primary colors, geometric hands—transform what could’ve been a lab experiment into a wearable statement. The 42mm PVD-coated case wears its stealth like a spy’s tuxedo, while the dial’s retrograde minutes subdial feels like a secret handshake for horology nerds.
