Louis Erard and Vianney Halter's limited Futur Antérieur draws on the Antiqua, with a brushed steel case, two porthole dials and two movements, each dial driven by its own Sellita SW100. Hodinkee calls it remarkably faithful to Halter's designs, SJX finds it a convincing, well-finished take on the Antiqua at a fraction of the price, and Worn & Wound finds the dual-movement layout gimmicky at 4,950 CHF.

Consensus

  • Liked: Three outlets praised how closely the watch captures the Antiqua's design.
  • Liked: Both SJX and Hodinkee liked the compact case, which sits comfortably on the wrist.
  • Views differ: The two-movement layout: SJX finds its reasoning sound, while Worn & Wound calls it a gimmick that fakes dual time.
  • Views differ: The price: SJX and Hodinkee see good value at CHF 4,950, while Worn & Wound finds it hard to justify.
