Vianney Halter was born in Suresnes, Paris, in 1963.

At the age of fourteen, he was granted permission to enrol at the Ecole Horlogère de Paris (the Paris Watchmaking School) by the director of the school as the normal entrance age was 15.

He's doing well, the plan to house his collection in a Museum is still the plan, the hopes are that it will happen 2026/2027 in Biel/Bienne Switzerland. I will keep you informed.
