Independent Watcher organised a trip to Hong Kong for renowned watchmaker Vianney Halter. This trip gave the precious opportunity to watch enthusiasts to meet the ever-so-friendly and talkative watchmaker. As part of the week's events, IW teamed up with Austen Chu's luxury watch consignment lounge Wristcheck for an evening of discovery and sharing. Vianney was able to bring most of the watch models he has created which is an incredibly rare occurrence! IW had a special gift for Mr. Halter as well, a hand-drawn picture of his Resonance watch commissioned from a local artist. Participants even got an exclusive preview of the stylistic evolution of the Classique. Let's just say that Art Deco was the main inspiration. Vianney Halter's watches are stunning in person, full of intricate details that take months to achieve which explain his relatively low output and the cost of his watches. One lucky birthday boy was happy enough to purchase from Wristcheck the Halter x Louis Erard collaboration watch! It was a great evening of genuine enthusiasm and passion.
