Yes, indeed, the info was released a little bit too soon
but this balances the delay that is often mine for delivery times ;-) !!!
Mostel, please don't be upset by having been taken for a ride : I remember to have warmly and sincerely congratulate Maximilian Busser at Baselworld for his appointment as the new Director of Creation at Patek Philippe on April 1st, 2008.
As an answer, Max told me : "Hey, dude, what's the date ?"
The April joke was not his (neither it was from PP) and was so credible that he (and PP) has too firmly deny.
Making a prank involves some risk, the first one is not to be understood.
Anyway, my position is : "Even though we do a serious job, we are not obliged to do it sadly".
I promise the next announcement will be for a real novelty.
Best regards.
Vianney

Another great novelty for Vianney Halter fans ....
.... Vianney Halter presents the Antiqua OCEAN. A double premiere for him : not only this is his first diver watch but it is also his first stainless steel watch. The relationship with the Antiqua Perpetual Calendar is obvious, however this timepiece real...
Made for Serious Use
Otherwise you may never get to enjoy the depth gauge. I had to visit his web-site - with a view of the back - because we are getting dangerously close to April 1. Congratulations to Vianney !!! amerix
"we are getting dangerously close to April 1"
LOL, that was my first thought as well Oliver
Love Halter but
nobody even dives with a Rolex let alone.... For its own merits, crazy-weird as usual from the mad genius. I don't understand why someone as independent as VH can't just make a watch for 'no use' and no reason'. Why pretend it is for diving? Ludicrous mee...
Congratulation VH
Beautiful piece in there , though the time dial could look better without the ocean IN MY OWN OPINION , happy to see such a creation yet im left in wonder IF the piece lost it poetic part for the sake of the functional one.... Faisal
Love it!
I have always loved the original, do you know if this ocean model is the same dimensions as the original? Cheers Andrew
Well planned timing?
There are two possibilities : If there is enough buying interest, it will go into production - with the price calculated according to cost and demand. If not, it can be treated as an April Fools Joke ;-) Either way, that was a most effective presentation!...
Further info about Antiqua OCEAN ...

This just replaced the VH Trio as my #1...
(and thus far unobtainable) "Holy Grail" watch! Beautiful piece of art by an extra-extraordinary watchmaker (!) as well as great guy to knock-back a couple glasses of wine and have a laugh with!
I applaud for the master's new invention
The original Antiqua is still so avant-garde and unrivaled today, 14 years after its invention. To my eyes, the new Antitua Ocean is a natural and deserved evolution, carrying the same design elements that originated from the deep sea. It's very cool that...
For making it very clear ....
... I officially declare that the Antiqua OCEAN is a prank ! Sorry for those who would like this watch to be produced ! The posted pictures were made from the ones (downloaded from the net) of the OULM watch. It seems that the OULM watches are "freely" in...
Nice one :)
Apparently the April Fool's Day is now extended and celebrated beyond April 1. Still, what a happy surprise!
Vianney, this is a clear sign
...that your many fans are very hungry for your next novelty! That such an obvious prank has received such positive feedback tells me that we are more than ready for your next innovation. All the best, Gary
For the record, I replied on March 31st
You gotta do a prank on the 1st, come on.... well, that's my defense anyway. Christmas ain't on Dec 23rd!!!

Well, I think to be able to say hello to you directly
is certainly worth the price of 'embarrassment'. A pleasure to communicate with you Vianney, in the extreme!
