Description
The Louis Erard X Vianney Halter Futur Antérieur is available in two distinctive limited editions, each limited to 178 pieces.
The Futur Antérieur Silver features rhodium-plated dials with circular-brushed outer rings and polished chamfers. Paired with Vianney Halter’s signature blued-steel hands and a blue ostrich leather strap, it offers a refined interpretation of the collection’s unconventional architecture.
The Futur Antérieur Gold introduces a warmer aesthetic, combining gold-toned, grained dials with circular-brushed outer rings and polished chamfers. A black ostrich leather strap completes the composition, creating a striking contrast with the golden surfaces.
Both editions share the same distinctive twin-dial architecture, two automatic movements, and signature yellow-gilt rivets.
Building on their established collaboration, the two partners introduce an entirely new case architecture, featuring two separate dials, two automatic movements, and an unmistakable design inspired by Vianney Halter’s futuristic vision of time.
The result is a timepiece that challenges traditional watchmaking codes while remaining deeply rooted in mechanical craftsmanship.
Presented in a refined silver-toned configuration, the Futur Antérieur combines rhodium-plated displays, signature blued-steel hands, and yellow-gilt rivets with a distinctive blue ostrich leather strap.
A remarkable creation for collectors who appreciate independent watchmaking, unconventional design, and horological individuality.
The Concept
The Concept
The Futur Antérieur represents the continuation of a creative dialogue between Louis Erard and Vianney Halter, a partnership that began in 2020.
Born in France and based in Switzerland, Vianney Halter has been an independent watchmaker since 1984. His distinctive approach combines traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with futuristic ideas, drawing inspiration from astronomy, science fiction, and historical timepieces.
His celebrated Antiqua, with its riveted porthole-like displays and unconventional architecture, has become one of the most recognizable expressions of independent horology.
With the Futur Antérieur, this distinctive design language takes on a new form.
Rather than relying on a conventional single-dial construction, the watch separates the display of time into two independent indications. This unusual arrangement creates a sculptural composition, where each dial becomes an architectural element in its own right.
The result is a watch that feels both futuristic and deeply connected to the history of mechanical watchmaking.
