In a realm where horology meets art, the Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter emerges as a singular masterpiece, capturing the essence of time itself while pushing the boundaries of independent watchmaking. Conceived as a tribute to craftsmanship and innovation, this one-of-a-kind timepiece symbolizes a harmonious collaboration between the visionary artistry of Vianney Halter and Louis Erard’s legacy of accessible luxury.
With a case diameter of 42mm, the watch boasts a polished stainless steel construction, its domed sapphire crystal treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides to ensure unparalleled clarity. The transparent case back reveals a meticulously decorated Sellita SW266-1 automatic movement with a power reserve of 38 hours, accented by an openwork oscillating weight bearing Louis Erard’s emblem. Every detail of this movement is a testament to the dedication to precision, reinforced by the bold engraving, “Limited Edition 1 of 1.”
The dial presents a mesmerizing interplay of textures and finishes: a circular satin-finished upper plate in silver contrasts with a microbead-blasted grey lower plate. The arrangement highlights a regulator layout, with the hour display at 12 o’clock, a central minute hand, and a second hand subdial at 6 o’clock. The blued steel hands, a signature of Vianney Halter, glide elegantly across the surface, merging classical inspiration with modern aesthetics.
A hallmark of Halter’s design ethos, the crenellated crown ensures the piece exudes both form and function. Paired with a deep blue calf leather strap, which offers quick-change functionality, the watch provides a perfect balance of sophistication and everyday wearability. Accompanied by exclusive accessories, including a signed ventile fabric pouch and cufflinks crafted by Halter, the timepiece becomes more than a watch—it’s a legacy encapsulated in craftsmanship.
Presented at Phillips Hong Kong, this singular creation not only celebrates 11 years of The Lavish Attic and Phillips’ Asia headquarters’ first anniversary but also supports aspiring watchmakers in Asia through proceeds donated to the Albert Hausammann Foundation. The Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter is not just a celebration of horological mastery; it’s a beacon for the future of independent watchmaking.
