Usually, professional football players show a preference for a handful of watch brands. They are usually spotted with mainstream brands like Audemars Piguet, Hublot, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille or Rolex. I have observed a couple of players with timepieces from A. Lange & Söhne and Patek, and also watches from independent brand Urwerk. This leads […]
If watches tick discrete seconds, time is continuous. It flows. Literally. Reading time on an HYT watch is an original experience. Its watches propose an artistic, symbolic and somehow natural representation of the relentless nature of time. Death and the image of the skull are, in this context, not just a gimmick. It makes sense […]
With HYT, the passage of time is interpreted in a different way from the usual convention of hands running over a dial. Back in 2012, HYT invented a display based on fluids to indicate both the time that has passed and the time to come. Inspired by ancient water clocks, the look of the watches […]
The HYT H0 Time is Precious watch encapsulates a powerful philosophical message. Similar mechanically and structurally to other members of the H0 family, the “Time is Precious” model is unlike anything we have seen before at HYT and ventures down a more artistic path to represent the fundamental philosophical musings that inspired the brand to […]
In our final live video chapter from the SIHH 2019, we talk to Gregory Dourde, CEO of HYT, the brand that proved that water could be introduced inside a watch to spectacular effect. Gregory Dourde selects two models for the video – the H0 Time is Precious and the H1.0 – and reveals how philosophical […]
The SIHH 2019 has opened its doors and since you all know it is not just about Richemont brands anymore, but other brands are exhibiting as well, it results in a flurry of new watches this time a year. Next up is a new chapter in the HYT fluidic watchmaking adventure, the HYT H1.0. Not entirely new as a mechanical watchmaking concept, but still worth having a look at a significantly redesigned H1.
Since 2012, HYT has measured time in a non-conformist way, uniting esthetics, technology and somehow philosophy. Time is fluid and its flow is displayed by liquids moved by a mechanical movement (To learn more about the company and its innovative, patented technology, you can watch our recent video here.) Presented in 2018, the H0 and H20 models express the flow of time with smooth curves, fluid shapes and virtually no straight lines. It showcases the brands raison d’êtrein a striking way. The fluidic time indication is presented in full glory, under an impressive cloche-like sapphire crystal. This allows a 360° visibility of the time and of the mechanical movement’s architecture.
Yesterday, we started to look at the best watches created by independent watchmakers in 2018, with more “classical” watches (if ever the indie scene could be labelled classical). Today, in the second part of this guide, we move to the most creative, daring, highly technical of them all. Sci-fi designs, unusual displays of the time, […]
With HYT, an independent watchmaker headquartered in Neuchatel, time is fluid. Since 2012, it has measured time in the most unconventional way. Its flow is displayed by the continuous movement of a coloured and a transparent liquid in a capillary. Several models have been presented since the inception of the brand and here’s the latest creation: the HYT H2O Brown.
Mechanical watches and fluids don’t mix! In fact, keeping fluids outside a watch case is a major issue for all mechanical watch brands. Six years ago, a small company named HYT did exactly the opposite and created a watch that indicates the time with fluids. But don’t expect water to swoosh around the watch case like […]
