Born in 1998 during the Basel Watch & Jewelry Fair, Les Montres Vianney Halter captivated the attention of the public with a curious watch called Antiqua.
\nNow considered as a classical among the contemporary timepieces, it was a revolution when launched.
\nFollowing the trend (or demand for a more classical watch), Vianney Halter created the ‘Classic’ in 2000. With the DNA of the Antiqua but with only hours, minutes and seconds hands. Developed in rose, yellow and white gold of only 250 pieces in total.<\/p>\n
*A new concept was launched in 2013 and has won the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Gen\u00e8ve in the category “Innovation Prize”. This prize has been given to the Deep Space Tourbillon<\/strong>, this UFO is inspired by the science-fiction universe of Star Trek, a beautiful contrast with the very traditional craft of watchmaking.

\nSince 1998 he has also developed his own collection and launched a new trend in watchmaking, using his unique style, his own technical patents and trademarked designs. His first model, the Antiqua Perpetual Calendar, was immediately regarded as a \u00ab relic of the future \u00bb, thus asserting his creativity.
