Vianney Halter

Vianney Halter was born in Suresnes, in Paris outskirts, in 1963. At the age of fourteen he set his mind on deepening his knowledge of mechanics, took the train to the capital and enrolled himself at the Ecole Horlogère de Paris (Paris Watchmaking School). After graduating in 1980, Vianney Halter spent the first ten years of his professional life restorating antique horological items. This gave him a broad knowledge about the art of horology.

Being independent is a fundamental characteristic of Vianney Halter. He has been an independent watchmaker since 1984, first as a pendulum clock repairman, then horological developer. Vianney never had to force himself into a creative process. He does not create to please or to respond to what people expect. He listens to his own inspiration and translates it in a genuine manner.
