Louis Erard has announced the "Regulator Louis Erard x Vianney Halter II" from its newly reimagined collaboration line, "Noirmont X." This second collaboration between Louis Erard and Vianney Halter incorporates even more of Vianney Halter's artistic DNA and details than the first collaboration announced in 2020. The unique aesthetic and steampunk design of Halter's signature "Anticore" perfectly harmonizes with the regulator, which displays the hours, minutes, and seconds in separate sections, creating an artistic collaboration.
