The new Louis Erard x Vianney Halter Futur Antérieur runs on a pair of automatic movements. One powers the hours and minutes, the other powers a central seconds hand on a dial of its own, and each sits behind a riveted porthole. If you don’t know Halter, he is one of the original modern independents, a French watchmaker working in Switzerland who also helped design Harry Winston’s Opus 3\. The porthole look of the Futur Antérieur is directly inspired by his legendary Antiqua, a riveted steel perpetual calendar from the late 1990s that still defines his work. Louis Erard has built much of its recent reputation on affordable collaborations with independents like Halter, Alain Silberstein and Konstantin Chaykin. Earlier LE - Halter put his design language onto Louis Erard’s regulator. This one borrows the Antiqua’s actual layout, in a case Louis Erard built for just for this release.

The steel case is new for Louis Erard and built from 67 components. It is 38mm wide with a lug-to-lug of 44mm and 8.85mm thick. Those are pretty unbelievable numbers. Not just because it looks absolutely massive in pictures, but also because it houses two movements. Each dial gets a raised bezel with 12 yellow-gilt 1N rivets and a sapphire crystal over it. There are two Halter-style crowns as well, each with six more rivets. The top metal surface is circular brushed, the flanks vertically brushed, the edges polished. Water resistance is 50 meters, and a solid steel back carries the edition number.

Both dials have a grained center inside an applied ring with circular brushing and a polished chamfer, with black printed markings. The Gold version uses yellow-gilt dials, the Silver uses rhodium plating. Halter’s blued steel hands appear on both and look best against the silver. Because the seconds come from a separate movement, that hand has no mechanical link to the minute hand, and the two will drift apart over time.

Both movements are the Sellita calibre SW100, a small 17.2mm automatic running at 4Hz with at least 38 hours of power reserve, typically closer to 42\. One is set up with a single hand, the other with two. Louis Erard decorates both movement and fits a Côtes de Genève rotor engraved with its logo, though the solid back means you’ll never see any of it. The straps are made out of ostrich leather, black on the Gold and blue on the Silver, with calf lining, a 20mm to 18mm taper, quick-release bars and a signed steel pin buckle.

The Louis Erard x Vianney Halter Futur Antérieur Gold and Silver are each limited to 178 pieces, priced at CHF 4,950 before tax. A Duo Set with both watches in a wooden box is also available, limited to 78 sets at CHF 9,900\.
