The story of HTO Watches perhaps started when
young Vianney Halter, then aged of 15, got off the
train at St Lazare Station to enroll himself in the
watchmakingschoolof Paris.
Twenty threeyearslater,he becamea memberof the
prestigious AHCI (Horological Academy of
Independent Creators) and since 1994 he creats
exceptionnal timepieces of unclassifiable style with
particularcomplicationsinhisownmanufacture.
When two designers approached him in 2001 with
their idea for HTO Watches, his memories as a
railwayman'sson certainly playeda partin thewarm
welcometheyreceived.

When Vianney Halter founded his company in
1994 he baptized it La Manufacture Janvier
to pay modest tribute to one of the most
talented clockmaker of thehistory.
Antide Janvier was born in 1751 in Brives, a
small village in the French Jura. Remarkably
precocious, Antide Janvier was an eager
student and relentless worker. He was rapidly
recognized as a remarkable clockmaker.
He knew three french Kings (Louis XV, Louis
XVI and Louis XVIII) and one Emperor
(Napoleon 1st) and was several times titled
"Clockmaker of theKing".
