not only a dream but Reality!

Thanks Moritz!

Sometimes I think we are fighting against windmills, bad breath, and a lot of hot air.

Vianney will deliver every Antiqua personally. He has also passed through here several times, to our mutual enjoyment, on the search for tower clocks and other horologically related antique items as well as obsolete technical instruments that inspire him for his "Ali Baba Cave".

Yes, I actually DO have both of these Antiquas, and a Classic, a Goldpfeil Jumping Hour - beautiful piece - a Trio Grande Date - and coming up soon? --- the Classic Janvier, the astronomical watch dedicated to Antide Janvier's original creations and Vianney's manufactury under the same name.

Unfortunately I am no longer able (physically) to travel., but Moritz think about the link: Vianney, Philippe Dufour, to A. Lange & Söhne.

Vianney as a person? Perfectly normal - just like me or you - us? ;-)

Also Vianney Halter is more than than an exceptional watchmaker - but an artist with a particular vision - not only a "designer's" vision but someone who would easily fit into the Age of the Renaissance - but with the code and ethics of a samurai.

And you can read the time easily off of every watch that he has ever made, no matter how complicated or unusual . At a single glance! What time is it? You know it immediately.

Why do I think that it so important as well as the timekeeping properties of a watch - because so many others no longer give a damn about these things with their chirping, cheeping electronics.

So much for my fighting stance.

Best regards,
Amery
