Halter established a small manufacture and named it Janvier SA after nineteenth-century watchmaker Antide Janvier, his idol. Bucherer since 2007 and has become so integrated that it no longer goes by that name. He settled in Sainte-Croix, where THA was located. Many of THA’s maverick watchmakers have since set out to create their own brands, Halter included. THA was rivaled in those days perhaps only by the Audemars Piguet-backed APRP ( Audemars Piguet Renaud et Papi). He had followed his friend François-Paul Journe from Paris to Switzerland in 1990, where the pair, both experts in restoring old masters, worked alongside Denis Flageollet (now De Bethune’s technical director) and other talented watchmakers in a think-tank for complicated watchmaking called THA (Techniques Horlogères Appliquées SA). In the early years of the new millennium, Halter was hailed as the definitive new talent in the world of independent watchmaking.
