I'm with you Mike. May be the most impressive visit for me to be honest. His organised "shambles" impressed me a lot.

PuristPro Swiss Independents GTG π¨π Vianney Halter's workshop visit
By: Alkiro1 : June 19th, 2017-04:38
Hi everybody, As you probably know from now on, few of us had the chance to meet incredible and genius watchmakers during three days. I thought that was mandatory to share our experiences with everybody here and try to give you our feeling during these mo...
Wow!

...actually even if I had the chance to already know Vianney quite well, I must admit that visiting his "ateliers" workshop Manufacture was a wonderful moment and the perfect way to better understand how his beautiful watches are made. A very impressive v...
Excellent post and photos Alkiro!

Thank you for sharing. I think this special pilgrimage with the other 'worshippers' was a once in a lifetime occasion and I am glad you were part of it.
Thank you my friend.

Well, I still have a lot of stars in my eyes Best wishes Alkiro
I fully understand your feeling. I call that an "organised chaos".
By: Alkiro1 : June 19th, 2017-11:54
That could be a "problem" for us (I love when my desk is in order) but I think that's just normal for few of them (it was identical at the Philippe Dufour workshop). I talked with an old watchmaker and he didn't understand how young watchmaker could work ...
You're welcome Gordon

This was the first time I have met Vianney Halter and I was very impressed by his energy and vision for watchmaking.
Thank you Aris

The Antiqua is really something. An UFO in the Horology industry. Truly impressive timepiece for sure. Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks again as I catch up on all the various GTG posts. I know its really hot weather these days but hey, enjoy while it lasts! I was in Geneva during the last week in April, and it suddenly turned so very cold and wet. Yes, the weather these days is pla...

Fortunately, the temperatures will decrease next days. They even forecast only 19 degrees next Thursday π³. Crazy world! During these hot days in Geneva, a tour in the VallΓ©e de Joux at 1000m of altitude is really required π Best wishes Alkiro
