The watch features two separate Sellita SW100 automatic movements, one for the hours and minutes and another for the seconds, neither of which are mechanically connected.
Both dial variants feature Vianney Halter's signature rivets, with yellow-gilt rivets adorning the bezels and crowns.
The case design incorporates 67 components and features a combination of circular brushing on the face, vertical brushing on the sides, and polished chamfers.
The Futur Antérieur takes inspiration from the riveted portholes and silhouette of Vianney Halter's earlier Antiqua model.
The silver-toned dial version is noted for allowing the yellow-gilt rivets to stand out more due to color contrast.
The collaboration aims to make Vianney Halter's distinctive design language accessible to a broader range of collectors at a more modest price point compared to his independent creations.
