Louis Erard x Vianney Halter (I)

DESCRIPTION

The Louis Erard x Vianney Halter Regulateur is one of the most compelling collaborations in modern independent horology. This first edition marks the inaugural partnership between Louis Erard and master watchmaker Vianney Halter, whose work is typically reserved for haute horology collectors. By distilling Halter’s unmistakable design language—industrial architecture, three-dimensional dials, and regulator displays—into a more accessible package, this model bridges the gap between independent watchmaking and mainstream enthusiasts.

Produced in extremely limited numbers, the first-generation Louis Erard x Vianney Halter Regulateur quickly became a cult favorite, selling out almost instantly upon release. Its distinctive dial construction, with a multi-layered brushed finish and raised sub-dials, showcases a level of craftsmanship rarely seen in this price category. The result is a piece that feels like a wearable concept watch, executed with precision and artistic vision.

With demand for early Louis Erard collaborations steadily rising, this model is becoming increasingly difficult to find—especially as a complete set with its original accessories.

CONDITION & CONTENTS

This example is a full set, including its box, tag, authenticity card, and warranty card dated December 2020.

• Case & Buckle: Excellent condition, showing only minor wear and hairline scratches, and a couple small surface scuffs consistent with light use, but no major distractions. 
  
  
• Strap: Comes with the original Louis Erard strap and buckle PLUS a bonus croc leather strap. The blue OEM strap shows wear, with some separation at the seam on the underside, though it remains fully wearable, and the croc leather strap is very lightly worn but in excellent condition.
