HYT’s original liquid time display has adopted many guises since the brand’s debut in 2012, adapting to the aesthetic mandates of the management presiding over the company. While all HYT’s models rely on bellows to pump liquid around two glass capillary tubes, the look of the watches has recently undergone a radical evolution. The latest […]
The news has been kicking around for several weeks but is now official. The watch industry’s largest fair, Watches & Wonders, is growing again as it will welcome Bulgari and six other independent brands for its 2025 edition. This marks an important step for the Salon.

HYT Watches burst onto the independent watchmaking scene in 2012 with a captivating concept, a truly unique vision and an idea that somehow was antinomic of a mechanical watch; displaying time with fluids.

Since 2012, HYT has occupied a unique niche in the market as the only watch brand to display time with fluids. There have been clepsydras since time immemorial, but HYT’s neon fluids, pumped around the dial by bellows to indicate the hours, are unique in the watch world. The Hastroid, launched in 2022, marked a […]
