Price available upon request

IF DIAMONDS ARE ALLEGEDLY FOREVER, HOW LONG IS FOREVER? THE H0, LIKE ITS CREATOR HYT, IS BORN OF A QUESTION ON THE NATURE OF TIME. THIS WATCH INVITES HIGHLY PRECIOUS STONES TO FLOW THROUGH ITS DESIGN TO SHINE LIGHT ON TIME’S ESSENTIAL PASSAGE. CHOOSING THE INSPIRATION OF WATER DROPLETS AND RIVERS OVER ORCHESTRATED LINEAR SETTINGS, ITS FOCUS IS THE BEAUTY OF THE SEAMLESS INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. AN ALMOST PARADOXICAL UNION OF A PATENTED MICRO-FLUIDIC MODULE AND MECHANICAL CALIBER UNDERLINES THE FASCINATION OF A NOW CHARACTERIZED BY SOCIAL, TECHNOLOGICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL FLUIDITY.

UNDERNEATH THE DROP-LIKE SAPPHIRE GLASS OF THIS SPECTACULAR H0, SNOW-SET DIAMONDS ALL OVER THE DIAL GIVE THE IMPRESSION OF WATER DROPLETS DELIVERED DIRECTLY BY NATURE. THEY ENCHANT WITH THEIR SPONTANEOUS IRREGULARITY. AS THEY CATCH THE LIGHT, ANOTHER LAYER OF UNIQUENESS EMERGES. HYT UNDERSTANDS THAT TIME – AND THEREFORE LIFE – IS CONSTANTLY IN MOTION. AND SINCE NOTHING IS SET IN STONE, THE CONTENT OF EACH INDIVIDUAL’S EXISTENCE IS UNIQUE. THE DIAMONDS CASCADE DOWN THE SIDES OF THE CASE TO FORM RIVERS CIRCUMNAVIGATING IT. THIS TOO IS A REMINDER OF TIME’S FLUIDITY AS COINED IN THE WORDS OF GREEK PHILOSOPHER HERACLITUS, “NO MAN EVER STEPS IN THE SAME RIVER TWICE AS IT’S NOT THE SAME RIVER AND HE’S NOT THE SAME MAN”. ENGRAVED NUMBERS AROUND THE LARGELY TRANSPARENT CASE CAST INDIVIDUAL SHADOWS TO REINFORCE THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL THEME.

THERE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF THE H0. ONE UNDERLINES THE VIBRANCY OF LIFE WITH RED COLORED LIQUID TRACING THE PATH OF ELAPSED TIME AND A RED ALLIGATOR STRAP. RED DETAIL ON THE HANDS AND POWER RESERVE DISPLAY PUNCTUATE THE DIAMOND OCEAN. ITS COUNTERPART CONTRASTS THE SPARKLING BACKDROP WITH BLACK AS A FURTHER STAMP OF SOPHISTICATION. TIME’S POWER LIES IN ITS CAPACITY TO BECOME MEMORABLE, NOT ETERNAL.

Faqs

How does an HYT watch work?

Two flexible reservoirs with a capillary attached at each end. In one, a coloured liquid; in the other, a transparent one. Keeping them apart is the repulsion force of the molecules in each fluid. The two reservoirs at 06:00 also referred to as bellows are made of a highly resistant, flexible alloy. Watchmaking is used to activate the system via a piston that drives the bellow on the left (the active bellow). When the active below is compressed, the second expands, and vice versa, resulting in the movement of the liquids in the capillary. As the hours go by, the coloured liquid advances. The meniscus marks the separation point between the two liquids, indicating the hour. At 06:00, the coloured liquid moves backwards, returning to its original position in what is known as a ‘rewind’.

ONCE UPON A TIME, PHILOSOPHY SET SCIENCE IN MOTION

ONCE UPON A TIME, PHILOSOPHY SET SCIENCE IN MOTION

HYT tells time’s stories and these are always tales of the unexpected. Creative tension between craftsmanship and technology generates operational and esthetic energy.

Brand Heritage

A colored liquid documents the recent past; a transparent fluid indicates the foreseeable future. Their meeting point is a meniscus, aka the now. Today HYT is an ecosystem that unites science, hi-technology, philosophy, art and design. Based in Neuchâtel, at the heart of the traditional Swiss watchmaking region, a dedicated team of 43 individuals makes liquid time real time. Their radical wristwatches harmoniously incorporate a mechanical watch movement as the trigger to the fluid propulsion. They make total sense of time – time and time again.

The rest is history. To be precise, it’s history that began 3,400 years ago with the Clepsydras, or water clocks, of the Pharaohs. These so-called “water thieves” transported H2O from one container to another to measure elapsed or “stolen” time. This meaningful visualization of the transition of time seemingly disappeared until 2012, when HYT broke new scientific ground, inventing a wristwatch integrating a patented fluidic module.
