Yema x Silberstein Marine 2 CMM.20 Limited Edition

WHEN ART TAKES TO THE SEA

Known for bringing a distinctive artistic language to watchmaking, Alain Silberstein composes this dial through colour, shape and marine symbolism. Here, a red hour hand with a buoy-like profile, a light blue minute hand and a yellow anchor-shaped seconds hand give the display its marine character. The deep blue grained dial recalls a sandy surface, while its blue tone nods to the sailors and maritime world that inspired the piece.

At 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, Alain Silberstein introduces international maritime signal flags that spell out YEMA. More than a graphic flourish, they give the dial a coded naval identity and reinforce the sense that each element has been chosen as both a functional marker and a symbolic sign.

Applied markers rise above the dial surface and, together with luminous details, add depth, relief and presence by day and at night.

DUAL CROWN GRADE 5 TITANIUM CASE

Conceived by Alain Silberstein as part of the watch’s overall visual language, the 40 mm Grade 5 titanium case is finished in black DLC with a microblasted surface that gives it a more matte, architectural presence. Its proportions remain controlled at 11 mm thick, while the 44.5 mm lug-to-lug keeps the profile compact and balanced on the wrist.

The construction has been carefully resolved so the lugs feel integrated rather than added on, creating a cleaner transition between case and strap and reinforcing the fluidity of the design. The result is graphic, but disciplined.

The dual-crown layout plays an important role in that balance. It gives the case its symmetry and character while preserving genuine utility: the upper crown, highlighted in blue, operates the internal rotating bezel, while the lower crown is used to set the time and wind the calibre.

A CASE BACK THROUGH SILBERSTEIN’S LENS

The sapphire exhibition case back reveals YEMA’s CMM.20 micro-rotor Manufacture calibre through a composition shaped by Alain Silberstein’s graphic language. A red oscillating weight, an anchor in yellow gold created through a glass metallization process, and a black DLC circular brushed caseback extend the marine identity of the watch onto its reverse side.

Rather than serving as a purely technical display, the caseback continues the visual story of the piece. Colour, symbol and mechanics come together in a composition that makes the movement part of the artwork itself.
