Louis Erard has teamed up again with Vianney Halter, with Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter II. The pair introduced the first Régulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter in 2020, bringing Vianney Halter’s distinctive aesthetic to a broader audience. For this second iteration, the collaboration draws inspiration from Halter’s distinctive Antiqua design, known for its Steampunk influences.
The collaboration focuses on a time-only regulator configuration to maintain an accessible price point. However, the watch retains Halter’s distinctive design language, with a split layout for hours, minutes, and seconds. The asymmetrical design was achieved by rotating the Sellita caliber SW266-1 counter-clockwise. As a result, the crown is now located at two o’clock.
All raised subdials and the outer chapter ring feature a circular-brushed finish with prominent diamond-polished chamfering. They sit atop a vertically brushed dial, and Halter’s signature blued steel hands complete the design.
The watch’s bezel is circularly brushed, and rivets are used as hour markers. The case measures 43mm, with a 10.95mm thickness and 49.6mm lug-to-lug distance.
The two limited-edition regulators offer distinct dial variations. The silvered dial model is exclusively available online, while the inverted dial model is sold through authorized retailers. Both are limited to 178 pieces.
