From its very first collection, HYT has always been focused on cutting-edge and modernist design combined with a unique, fascinating display relying on a watch’s worst enemy, liquid.

The first edition Nebula watch was presented by Arnold & Son in 2016, and it set itself apart from a variety of skeletonised watches available out there right away. Six years later, the Nebula continues to draw attention, and the two new variations of the previously released references hopefully will, too. The Calibre A&S5201 that […]
Ikepod, created by Marc Newson in the 1990s, had its share of former glory and a solid fan base, and it has all the chances for greatness under new management. Christian-Louis Col, a French entrepreneur with a wealth of experience and an incredible passion for Ikepod, restored customers’ trust and attention when he introduced a […]
