LIMITED EDITION OF 8 PIECES.

FOR THE CREATION OF THE H20, TIME TRAVEL BECAME THE DESTINATION. THIS INSPIRING JOURNEY TO EXPLORE THE ROOTS OF THE NOTION OF TIME RECALLED THE CLEPSYDRAS OF ANCIENT GREECE, WHICH INDICATED TIME’S PASSAGE BY THE MOVEMENT OF LIQUID FROM ONE VESSEL TO ANOTHER. IT ALSO TOOK IN THE VERY FIRST OBSERVATIONS OF THE EARTH’S ROUNDNESS MADE BY SCIENTISTS, PHILOSOPHERS AND MATHEMATICIANS AROUND 600 BC. FOUR THOUSAND YEARS LATER, THE RADICAL, CONFIDENTLY CONTEMPORARY H20 IN BROWN HAS LANDED. USING THE EARTH’S PRIMARY COLOR, ITS DOMED, THREE-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN AND MECHANICALLY MASTERED FLUID OPERATION CONFIRM THAT TIME’S FLOW IS WHAT KEEPS ALL WORLDS TURNING.

SCIENCE AND ART OFFER A TOTALLY NEW PERSPECTIVE ON HOROLOGY IN A WATCH THAT VISIBLY CELEBRATES TIME’S ESSENCE. THE FORMER FOCUSES ON TECHNICAL INNOVATION, THE LATTER ON VISUAL IMPACT. ITS ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF TIME’S PASSAGE MARKS THE CONCLUSION OF A CHALLENGING ADVENTURE. DEFYING GRAVITY IS JUST ONE OF THE TECHNICAL MILESTONES THAT LIQUID TIME HAS REACHED. IN THE BROWN EDITION OF THE H20, RED LIQUID RECORDS RECENTLY ELAPSED TIME, WHILE CLEAR LIQUID SYMBOLIZES THE TIME THAT LIES JUST AHEAD. THE MEETING POINT OF THE TWO SUBSTANCES IS THE PRECIOUS PRESENT. A MECHANICAL MOVEMENT, CREATED WITH APRP FOR EXCLUSIVE USE, IS DEDICATED TO PRECISION. THE 28-JEWEL CALIBER IN THIS LIMITED EDITION INTEGRATES RICH BROWN PVD COATING. SEAMLESS TRANSMISSION BETWEEN THE MECHANICAL MOVEMENT AND FLUIDIC MODULE TAKES PLACE VIA THE CONVERSION OF ROTATION INTO LINEAR MOTION USING A CAM-FOLLOWER SYSTEM. A JUMPING MINUTE HAND AND FLANGE FORMED FROM ONE PIECE OF METAL ADD TO THE PORTFOLIO OF EXPERTISE.

THE NEW H20 GROUNDS THE REFRESHING NEW VIEW OF TIME, AKA A CLOCHE-LIKE SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL, IN A NURTURING BROWN PVD COATED STAINLESS STEEL CASE. PROJECTING A WARM GLOW ON TO THE HOROLOGICAL HAPPENINGS ABOVE IS A RED-TINTED SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL CASE BACK. THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN LANGUAGE IS UNDERLINED BY THE ANGLED POSITIONING OF THE TWO RHODIUM-PLATED BELLOWS AND HANDS AND SCULPTED NUMBERS THAT APPEAR TO SIMULTANEOUSLY FLOAT AND BE ANCHORED IN ACCURACY. THIS WATCH IS RESOLUTE IN ITS BELIEF THAT THE PASSAGE OF TIME IS THE ONE TO WATCH. WHY ON EARTH WOULDN’T WE?

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.
