Two owners share their thoughts on the Vianney Halter Perpetual Antiqua in platinum
Two lucky owners of the Vianney Halter Antiqua in platinum have kindly agreed to share their thoughts on this wonderfully rare watch with us. The main differences between the two specimens of the Antiqua mentioned below are: 1. The rivets in the crown, on...
Thanks for sharing JX...
this interview shows us that each VH piece is indeed a masterpiece, showing off a unique facet and deeper peek into the genius of VH. Wonder if the differences mentioned above are apply to all Antiquas and are limited to them or do they somehow translate ...
Great interview!
What a treat to see two examples of this uncommon watch side-by-side, and to also hear thoughts about the model from two people with intimate knowledge from a collector's standpoint. Seeing the differences between the two Antiquas actually heightens my re...
Nice post!
Always loved the Antiqua model. I took a picture of myself wearing a RG one at the Basel fair back in 2000. Tought it was fantastic and still thinking the same. A very different timepiece that brings joy to my eyes. Congrats to both owners and thanks for ...
Thanks for the interview SJX !
What is really certain, beyond everything else that has been said. They don't come from an assembly line where every one is the same. The man touches each and every one. I hope you gentlemen enjoy your watches for many years to come. Don
Clark Kent seems to have the better back.....
Thanks SJX, Bat,,,,,er,,,Bruce and Clark. The Clark Kent seems to have the 'popping' finishing on the movement plate seen on the back. Or was that just a trick of the light? Regards, MTF
Can anyone 'spot" the difference between this one?
This is the first one, numbered as 00P made by Vianney for his AHCI admission. My regular wearer...excellent machine for years. Photo by Prof Harry Tan...just a few weeks back. Can most of you see anything that is done by Vianney to "seperate" his exam pi...
Maybe the typo?
bigger on your model? Vianney a sacred figure. I had opportunity to speak with him two hours in Paris last year, an enthusiast.
The 2 and 3 don't have the same orientation.
A very small and nice difference. If you don't know it, you don't see it. Fr.Xavier This message has been edited by foversta on 2009-10-04 10:53:52

Month/Year Dial
Not sure if this is it - on the later pieces the 2 and 3 in the month/year dial are inverted (radial flip). With number 00P the 2 and 3 are radially distributed without the "flip".
The font is different.
Especially when you look at "9" on the main dial. The one you have, Bernard, has bolder fonts. Hope that's right? Jon
Yes...the 6,4 and 3 are most noticeable.
These were hand cut into the dial, which is made of a ring for the numbers, and a plate onto which the ring, and the name plate is mounted...then soldered on. No glue. The numbers are chiseled in..and a balck soot is massaged on...then dusted off. The bla...
