“Creating with Vianney is about friendship and defying limits. This piece is a true joint endeavor! It’s got the Steampunk rivets, the off-center dials, as well as bold, intricate details that leave nothing untouched. A watch with all the independent Haute Horlogerie codes… yet still within reach, bold enough to stand out, yet made to be worn every day. With Vianney, it all started with a lucky pocket call in a ski gondola, serendipity that led to something extraordinary.”

ABOUT VIANNEY HALTER
Vianney Halter was born in 1963 on the outskirts of Paris,
the son of an engine driver on the French railways. He remembers being
fascinated by the old machines and mechanical objects that his father
brought home. Perhaps this early contact with powerful locomotives,
steam engines and other measuring instruments is the reason why he was
attracted to technology and mechanics.
At 14 years of age, Vianney Halter made the decision to broaden his interest in mechanics, and took the train to the capital to enrol at the École Horlogère de Paris (Paris Watchmaking School). He qualified in 1980 and
spent his first ten years in the profession restoring antique watches
and clocks, experience which gave him in-depth knowledge of the art of
watchmaking.

His designs have been regarded as avant-garde pieces and are considered to have instigated a new shift in the watchmaking world. Vianney Halter makes unusual watches in the traditional method of the master watchmakers of the past, while using singular aesthetics, his own technical patents and unique constructions. All of this is illustrated in his first model, the “Antiqua”, a perpetual calendar presented in 1998. This watch was instantly regarded as a "relic of the future", reinforcing Halter's creativity and allowing him to enter the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI).

His
years as an independent watchmaker continuing the art of watchmaking
and his contribution to the modern horological landscape have already
earned him nine awards. He has created around ten models of
wristwatches, but the high level of workmanship they demand means their
production is confidential. Indeed, under 500 pieces created by Vianney Halter have been produced to this day.
