Timepieces are more than just instruments; they express art, innovation, and individuality. With the launch of the Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter II, Louis Erard and renowned watchmaker Vianney Halter have created a watch that defies convention and captures the spirit of adventure.
A Collaboration Born of Serendipity
The partnership between Louis Erard and Vianney Halter began unexpectedly—a chance phone call during a ski trip sparked a creative journey. “Creating with Vianney is about friendship and defying limits,” shared Manuel Emch, CEO of Louis Erard. “This piece is a true joint endeavour. It’s bold enough to stand out yet made to be worn every day, blending haute horlogerie codes with accessibility.”
For over two decades, Vianney Halter has redefined watchmaking with his steampunk-inspired designs, pushing the boundaries of traditional horology. His debut independent piece, the Antiqua (1998), broke new ground with its deconstructed approach to time. Now, this bold vision finds a new home in Louis Erard’s Régulateur collection.
Design: Where Steampunk Meets Retro-Futurism
Key design elements include:
● Steampunk Rivets: Inspired by Halter’s signature style, the riveted accents evoke a Victorian industrial aesthetic.
● Off-Center Split-Time Dials: A hallmark of Halter’s craftsmanship, the deconstructed subdials give the watch an energetic, dynamic feel.
● Bold and Intricate Details: Every surface has been meticulously crafted, blending functional precision with artistic expression.
The result is a watch that orbits between reality and fiction, a fitting tribute to Halter’s ethos of dreaming beyond convention.
Accessible Haute Horlogerie
While it carries the DNA of high-end independent watchmaking, the Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter II remains within reach, priced at SGD 7,170, inclusive of taxes.
This makes it an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of horological art that’s bold enough to stand out, yet practical for everyday wear.
