Independents

.... Vianney Halter presents the Antiqua OCEAN. A double premiere for him : not only this is his first diver watch but it is also his first stainless steel watch. The relationship with the Antiqua Perpetual Calendar is obvious, however this timepiece real...  

Otherwise you may never get to enjoy the depth gauge. I had to visit his web-site - with a view of the back - because we are getting dangerously close to April 1. Congratulations to Vianney !!! amerix

LOL, that was my first thought as well Oliver

nobody even dives with a Rolex let alone.... For its own merits, crazy-weird as usual from the mad genius. I don't understand why someone as independent as VH can't just make a watch for 'no use' and no reason'. Why pretend it is for diving? Ludicrous mee...

...I want to hold one.

Beautiful piece in there , though the time dial could look better without the ocean IN MY OWN OPINION , happy to see such a creation yet im left in wonder IF the piece lost it poetic part for the sake of the functional one.... Faisal

cheers Pat

That's a magnificent April Fools joke

I have always loved the original, do you know if this ocean model is the same dimensions as the original? Cheers Andrew

There are two possibilities : If there is enough buying interest, it will go into production - with the price calculated according to cost and demand. If not, it can be treated as an April Fools Joke ;-) Either way, that was a most effective presentation!... 

Philip M. why not. This one, from June 80 to as much existed....

(and thus far unobtainable) "Holy Grail" watch! Beautiful piece of art by an extra-extraordinary watchmaker (!) as well as great guy to knock-back a couple glasses of wine and have a laugh with!

The original Antiqua is still so avant-garde and unrivaled today, 14 years after its invention. To my eyes, the new Antitua Ocean is a natural and deserved evolution, carrying the same design elements that originated from the deep sea. It's very cool that... 

... I officially declare that the Antiqua OCEAN is a prank ! Sorry for those who would like this watch to be produced ! The posted pictures were made from the ones (downloaded from the net) of the OULM watch. It seems that the OULM watches are "freely" in...  

Apparently the April Fool's Day is now extended and celebrated beyond April 1. Still, what a happy surprise!

...that your many fans are very hungry for your next novelty! That such an obvious prank has received such positive feedback tells me that we are more than ready for your next innovation. All the best, Gary

You gotta do a prank on the 1st, come on.... well, that's my defense anyway. Christmas ain't on Dec 23rd!!!

Only Vianney would do April fools' on March, I guess! Best, Gary

but this balances the delay that is often mine for delivery times ;-) !!! Mostel, please don't be upset by having been taken for a ride : I remember to have warmly and sincerely congratulate Maximilian Busser at Baselworld for his appointment as the new D... 

is certainly worth the price of 'embarrassment'. A pleasure to communicate with you Vianney, in the extreme!
