Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter

Louis Erard and visionary independent watchmaker Vianney Halter unveil Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter, a one-of-a-kind creation that fuses Halter’s avant-garde design with Louis Erard’s expertise. This extraordinary timepiece will be auctioned by Phillips at The Hong Kong Watch Auction: XIX on November 23rd, in celebration of the 11th anniversary of The Lavish Attic and the 1st anniversary of Phillips’ Asia headquarters. Proceeds will support aspiring watchmakers in Asia through the Albert Hausammann Foundation, embodying the spirit of craftsmanship, innovation, and independent horology.

A Unique Collaboration

This unique timepiece symbolizes the union of two creative forces: the visionary design of Vianney Halter and the expertise of Louis Erard in creating refined, accessible timepieces. Halter, known for his "future past" aesthetic, reimagines Louis Erard’s signature Regulator complication with a modern touch, while staying true to his distinctive style. The sculpted dial, blued steel hands, and Halter's iconic crenellated crown honor horology’s rich history, while ensuring the piece remains innovative and distinctly modern in design.

Creating with Vianney is about friendship and defying limits. This piece is a true collaboration, blending intricate details and independent Haute Horlogerie codes—bold enough to stand out yet made to be worn every day.” Manuel Emch, CEO of Louis Erard.

Supporting the Next Generation of Watchmakers

Proceeds from the sale will benefit the Albert Hausammann Foundation, an organization dedicated to fostering emerging talents in watchmaking. By offering financial support and resources, the foundation plays a vital role in nurturing the next generation of skilled artisans, ensuring the continued growth and sustainability of independent horology in Asia.
