Always loved this watch, but surprisingly, never saw one in person. What a character!
Vianney Halter probably likes Jules Verne's book, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea very much!
I get more submarine vibes from this watch than even the Rolex Submariner!
One of the greatest horological creations IMO.
I has a chance to talk with Vianney once, around 2007, and a good part of the conversation was about the rivets.
A iconic beauty imho.
A absolute amazing and true grail from a great and funny watchmaker.
Totally in love with the Antiqua. The only problem…
…is to chose between the two iterations platinum or rose gold 😉 ...
Top piece of Independent Watchmaking.
Once one gets to handle one of these gems, there is no turning back! My baptism was in Baselworld 2000, when I got to meet Vianney at the AHCI stand, where he was exhibiting that year. He had a Rose Gold execution on display and I got stopped in my tracks...
I meet Vianney in Paris last summer,
And bought the Antiqua below, sits on my dresser next to my bed in its winder, what a watch and what a watchmaker!…Jim ...
