Looking for "eye candy" ?
A short visit to Vianney Halter's shop recently turned up some interesting eye candy.
An Antiqua movement
Perfect finishing, even under close inspection.
The Halter Trio - a bar of gold
The Classic Janvier Sun and Moon.
5 hands from the middle indicate the hours, minutes, equation of time and moon phase
Note that 12 pieces will be made of this watch. The sun and moon hands are different on each one.
Construction drawings decorate the watchmakers workshop.
Hands and moons, each one different.
A last little treat, a look at Vianneys tower clock collection.
This one from the 17th century caught my eye. Hand wraught and not a single screw!
Love it!
Don

Firstly, thks fr the photo report.
It's always a pleasure to see VH workshop and pics of unfinished movements. The 12 Janvier will all have different hands? How so...material, shape or colour? Thks v m Best, Horo
The engraving on every one is different....
You can see this in the 14th and 15th picture if you look closely. Don
A visit to Vianney's place is wonderful
Does that Classic Janvier have RG rivets on case and crown? If I remember correctly, one that I saw had WG rivets.
Thanks for the photos, Don!
Eye candy was an understatement! Your photos of the Janvier were particularly tasty! Cheers, Daos
Thanx Don
It's a pleasure to see Vianney's watches! Thanx so much for sharing this with us. I'm particularly intrigued by the moon phase of the Classic Janvier. So nice to see this kind of moon phase execution!
