THE PASSAGE OF TIME IS WHAT EARTHS HUMAN EXISTENCE. IT CONTINUALLY REMINDS US THAT EACH MOMENT OF OUR LIVES IS PART OF A BIG PICTURE THAT BEARS OUR UNIQUE SIGNATURE. WITH ITS LATEST H0 TIMEPIECE, HYT SHOWCASES THE BARE ESSENTIALS OF TIME’S TRANSIENCE IN A WATCH THAT IS AS GROUNDED AS IT IS ELEVATED. FLUIDITY IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE DESIGN’S APPEARANCE AND MESSAGE. THIS IS TRANSLATED CLEARLY THROUGH SLEEK LINES AND SHAPING, SUBTLY PUNCTUATED BY SPLASHES OF COLOUR AND UNDERLYING UTILITARIAN CONFIDENCE. THE VISUALIZATION OF TIME’S MOTION BY HYT IS ALL ABOUT CONTEXT – AND CONTENT.

IN AN ERA WHERE AGENDAS ARE PRONE TO OVERFLOW, THE LATEST H0 FOCUSES ON MAKING TIME’S FLOW MEANINGFUL. AVANT-GARDE ESTHETICS, WITH A FORM RESEMBLING A SMOOTHED PEBBLE, A CURVED DIAL AND THE HYT PATENTED FLUIDIC MODULE, ARE THE PLATFORM FOR RELEVANT FUNCTIONALITY. BOLD DIGITS, MARKING THE PASSING HOURS, CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE SIDE OF THE CASE AND GLOW IN THE DARK. THIS EXPRESSES THE H0COMMITMENT TO THREE-DIMENSIONALITY. AFTER ALL, SINCE WHEN HAVE TIME AND SPACE SATISFIED THEMSELVES WITH TWO DIMENSIONS OR ONE PERSPECTIVE? AN EXTRA VISUAL DIMENSION COMES FROM SMOKY GREY SAPPHIRE GLASS WINDOWS IN FRONT OF THE BELLOWS THAT CONSTITUTE LIQUID TIME’S POWERHOUSE.

THE NEW H0 MODEL’S TAKE ON TRANSIENCE AND TRANSPARENCY HAS TWO VARIATIONS. IN ONE OF THESE, A KHAKI DIAL AND RUBBER STRAP STYLISHLY CAMOUFLAGE THE DLC ANTHRACITE COATING OF THE STAINLESS STEEL CASE. RED AND PALE GREEN COMPLETE THE COLOR PALETTE, WITH THE FORMER TAKING ON THE ESSENTIAL TASK OF VISUALIZING RECENTLY ELAPSED HOURS. A SLATE GREY VERSION, WITH A SLIGHT HINT OF BLUE, EMBRACES A SERENE BLACK CASE AND BRIGHT ACCENTS ON THE DIAL FOR ACCESSIBLE TIMEKEEPING. EBONY-COLORED LIQUID SHOWS THE NOW MORPHING INTO MEMORIES BEFORE OUR VERY EYES.

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.
