ith their second collaboration, Louis Erard and Vianney Halter go bold, integrating Steampunk craftsmanship and the distinctive codes of Antiqua into the Régulateur. The design of the Louis Erard Régulateur aligns perfectly with Halter’s unmistakable split-time subdials. The outcome: a piece pulsing with deconstructed energy. This watch orbits between reality and fiction, transcending the boundaries of both time and space!

“Creating with Vianney is about friendship and defying limits. This piece is a true joint endeavour! It’s got the Steampunk rivets, the off-centre dials, as well as bold, intricate details that leave nothing untouched. A watch with all the independent Haute Horlogerie codes… yet still within reach, bold enough to stand out, yet made to be worn every day. With Vianney, it all started with a lucky pocket call in a ski gondola, serendipity that led to something extraordinary.” - Manuel Emch

Vianney Halter is no ordinary watchmaker. For over two decades, he has been defying horological conventions with bold, Steampunk-inspired designs. His debut independent piece, the Antiqua (1998), set the stage for a deconstructed vision of time. Now, he’s found a brand that shares his love for breaking the rules of design and the Régulateur is a perfect reflection of that spirit.

Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter II is more than a watch: it’s a tribute to those who dare to dream and venture beyond convention. A salute to Halter’s “Live Long and Prosper” mindset, this timepiece is the perfect blend of Victorian industrial aesthetics and a retro-futuristic vision.

Louis Erard’s sales approach is as unconventional as the watch itself. One edition for their e-boutique, another retail-exclusive. This is how Louis Erard is turning sales into events. Stay tuned – the norms are about to be shaken up once again!
