Osawa Shokai Co., Ltd. will release a watch designed by Vianney Halter in mid-December, the second installment of its collaboration with Louis Erard.


Last year's Alain Silberstein model caused a stir in the industry, and this second collaboration with Louis Erard has been designed by independent watchmaker Vianney Halter. Based on the classic regulator from the recently released Triptych Collection, this watch features a modern design that is instantly recognizable as a Vianney Halter piece, making it an appealing choice for collectors and those new to mechanical watches alike. As with the previous model, it will be available in Japan from mid-December, limited to 178 pieces worldwide.


This watch allows him to rediscover the roots of his style and may be called a "legacy of the future" as it marks his first attempt at creating a piece aimed at general watch enthusiasts.
