Vianney Halter is one of the most preeminent and most respected independent watchmakers of the last 50 years whose work is often compared with the likes of François-Paul Journe and Denis Flageollet of De Bethune. The three of them had once joined forces to create a collaborative movement manufacturer that supplied movements to Cartier.
Most notable for his signature steampunk and futuristic designs, the Classic was one of his earliest creations made in a limited production of 250 pieces and encased in either pink, yellow or white gold, and launched in 2000. Inspired by the portholes of Captain Nemo’s Nautilus, the present watch is further elegantly finished with both brushed and polished surfaces, with exquisite attention to detail on the exposed rivets and crown. The winding system is shaped similar to an O-ring that would swing around the pivot and wind the watch without intruding the user’s view of the finely engraved movement.
The current watch is presented in exceptional condition and complete with all is accessories.
