Introduced two years after the revolutionary Antiqua, the Classic wristwatch is Vianney Halter's second creation. There is no denying the nautical inspiration: the bezel resembles a ship's porthole, the hinged lugs refer back to maritime engineering, and the riveted crown further emphasizes the theme. The dial, which showcases Halter's unique aesthetic language through a play of contrasting frosted and polished surfaces, is equally captivating.
In keeping with his philosophy of mechanical transparency, Halter fitted his patented 'mysterious mass' rotor system to the watch. This clever mechanism creates the appearance of a movement wound without a visible rotor by concealing the oscillating weight behind a peripheral ring, in contrast to traditional rotors. As a result, the sapphire caseback offers an unobstructed view of the exquisitely finished caliber.
The Classic was made in just 250 pieces in yellow, white, and pink gold. The present pink gold example, numbered 64, gives collectors the chance to acquire a foundational piece of independent watchmaking from one of its most influential individuals.
