**Vianney Halter** is a Swiss watchmaker and watch manufacturer.

Vianney Halter is one of those innovators of late, who clean up radically with the recent watch tradition.

From [[1983]] in his studio in Paris he had restored valuable antique watches from 1550 to the 1980s and thereby gained a profound knowledge. In [[1990]] [[F. P. Journe|François-Paul Journe]] invited him to a collaboration, during which he developed watches for important brands such as [[Breguet]], [[Audemars Piguet]], Mauboussin, [[Jaquet Droz]] and [[Franck Muller]]. [[1994]] he founded in Sainte-Croix the //Manufacture Janvier SA//. This name comes from one of the most capable watchmakers in watch history Antide Janvier ([[1751]]-[[1835]]).

In [[1998]] Vianney Halter, within the framework of his candidacy for [[AHCI]], presented his first watch creations, supported by [[Philippe Dufour]]. His best-known model is the [[Vianney Halter Antiqua|Antiqua]] with its three dials a [[perpetual calendar]] with a self-constructed, patented [[self-winding]] movement, whose production per copy takes about 900 hours to complete. Other models are called //Classic, Trio, Classic Janvier// and //Contemporaine//.

Like Fabrice Gonet from [[HD3 Complication]] also Vianney Halter is inspired by Jules Verne and his mysterious hero Captain Nemo at the design of his creations.

Vianney Halter won the Best Watchmaker Prize at the [[Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève]] in November, [[2011]]. In [[2016]], Halter received the prestigious [[Prix Gaïa]] Artisanat-Creation award.
