Louis Erard x Vianney Halter II: The Regulator Goes Global

The Regulator II is back - sharper, bolder, and now on a world tour. Louis Erard and Vianney Halter transform a watch launch into a global stage event, dropping city-exclusive editions with color-coded seconds hands and engraved mottos. From Takamatsu to Hong Kong to Singapore, every stop is a limited-time drop, no restocks - a collision of steampunk horology and streetwear culture, turning time itself into the ultimate collectible.

L

e Régulateur II is back on stage, same unmistakable design, same electric blued steel hands, now sharper than ever with a new silver monochrome dial. But this time, it’s more than a watch drop, it’s a world tour. Because when we said Louis Erard was turning sales into events and shaking up the norms again... we weren’t kidding! Vianney Halter and Manuel Emch are taking flight for a horological road tour: exclusive city drops, backstage access and a piece that adapts with every stop. Limited drop. No restocks. Be fast or miss the set. So, you can either grab the monochrome edition from home or head to the city where your favorite version drops.

WHAT’S NEW

Main colors: monochrome silver dial, matching subdials and a blue leather strap like the blued steel hour and minute hands. Distinctive color: a different color-coded seconds hands for each city. Live long and prosper: Vianney’s motto, engraved in different languages depending on the city’s edition. How limited? 178 monochrome editions + 178 released in drops of 18 to 25 limited units in each city on the tour.

WHAT STAYS

Steampunk DNA: inspired by Vianney Halter’s iconoclastic Antiqua. Industrial edge: red-gilded rivets, riveted bezel and offset crown at 2 o’clock Deconstructed display: signature split-time subdials Haute Horlogerie finishing: polished and diamond-cut angles, circular and vertical satin brushing Around the world. One city, one second at a time.

The Regulator II isn’t about telling time. It’s about owning it. Bending it. Color-coding it. And taking it global. Which color is yours? Which city calls your name? Better decide fast, this tour doesn’t do replays. Every city of the World Tour gets its own customed color seconds hand and Vianney Halter’s legendary motto, “Live Long and Prosper”, is adapted in different languages, engraved on the case back.

Vianney’s edge. Louis Erard’ stage. The story behind the tour.

“This is more than a collab. It’s a creative collision between Vianney Halter, master of Steampunk horology and Louis Erard’s signature Regulator. It is more than telling time. It’s about taking it. The result? A deconstructed watch that keeps the iconic 1998 Antiqua’s design, made to be worn daily, collected obsessively. You might just end up chasing every seconds hand color. Each drop hits like a rare sneaker, limited time, one city, one point of sale. We turn every city into a stage, every release into an event and every second into something worth hunting.” - Manuel Emch.
