raphmeister report... A Simple Classic Time Piece by A Great Artist
Oct 18, 2008,08:53 AM
In this watch collecting journey you may come across many, many, many, many timepieces... some are special and some watch makers are special...
the following pictures are of a watch that is truly beautiful and made by a great artist whom i admire and respect... vianney halter has made some wonderful timepieces such as the antiqua, trio, classic... pieces in his futur anterieur collection as well as other masterpieces... a significant amount of work on time pieces bearing his name are done by hand and ably so by himself and watchmakers at his atelier in st. croix. and they are amazing works of art...
more importantly, these are pictures of a watch that has joined my very humble and small collection i hope u enjoy these photos of my vh classic and i highly recommend that you take some time to explore his world and the wonderful creations in it if u haven't done so already. check out these links to information and his site... cheers, raphmeister
vianney halter classic in red gold
24 rivets in the winding crown and 12 on the bezel
vianney has stopped production on the classic... all in all i believe there
are less than 300 pieces ever made for all metals...
a mysterious mass winding rotor
hand crafted blued steel hands
reflection of the dial on the rehaut is beautful
the wonderful play of light on this piece is something to behold
the vh100... with roots in the lemania 8100
the dial work is too cool
wonderful finishing...
time pieces as art...

That is a classic, no pun intended. - SJX
outside the norm

The way the name "Vianney HALTER" off-sets the symmetry of the dial-face by giving the Classic a certain touch of "strangeness" or mystery that helps transform this already extremely beautiful piece into a lasting - even everlasting work of art. Not just ...
Sorry for the glitch

Of course you are - Raph, not Ralph! By the way, I often enjoy winding the Classic by hand. It tingles between thumb and finger, like the GPJH.
Wow, you are among the lucky happy few

Well, in fact, I really discovered this watch when I visited the manufacture few weeks ago. I fell in love for the Antiqua in 2001 and this classic was too classic from the pictures I saw on the internet, I kept focussed on the Antiqua and then on the Tri...
