HYT Technologies Part 2: Features and Limitations

Water meter? The human adventure at the origin of the HYT H1 development achieved what seemed to be possible only in theoretical physics. Below is the technical explanation.

The functional principle of the fluid module presents so many problems that it is necessary to create unheard-of craftsmanship and technology, especially in the production of prototypes and the industrialization of watch production as a whole. To get a better grasp of its capabilities, we provide an extraordinary list with all constraints. We also provide the names of those who made the original quasi-philosophical intentions possible.

“The idea behind ‘Back to Clepsydre’ is a real leap forward and more dazzling than a throwback to 17th and 18th century watchmaking. Since many components of the fluid module offer limited reliability when interacting closely, tolerances Bands are less controllable than tolerance bands in traditional watchmaking.

Furthermore, these tolerance zones are consistent. This complexity has nothing to do with traditional quality control as the watchmaking industry understands it”. Vuillamoz made it clear: there are quite a few challenges to deal with and we cannot adopt good practice because no one has ever produced a watch like this before.

How the Fluid Module Works
Before assessing the enormity of the physical co-contraction that must be mastered to make the HYT fluid indicator reliable, it is critical to understand its function. The fluid module consists of a glass capillary connecting two flexible metal containers filled with two immiscible liquids, one colored and the other transparent. When one of the containers is pressed, the compressed liquid enters the capillary, creating a display interface rather than a connection between colored and colorless transparent areas.

Every time the fluid indicator reaches the 6 o’clock position, the display system inevitably returns to its original state when pressure is applied to the first reservoir. The liquid reverses for about a minute before restarting the 12-hour compression cycle.

Since liquids expand with temperature, a thermal compensator—an intermediate device—must be integrated to avoid the ill effects of this physical phenomenon. In fact, when expanded, the liquid can only move in the capillary, thus affecting the accuracy of the displayed time. The thermal compensator (3) acts like a loophole, correcting the position of the liquid in the event of temperature changes.

Problems and Industrialization
The development of the HYT replica fluid module takes place within the framework of early research and innovation. The method is quasi-empirical; observe, design, apply, if decisive, develop it and make it reliable.

HYT thermal compensator

Various problems arising from the development of HYT fluid modules must be reduced and resolved. Furthermore, the interaction between the craftsmanship mastered by the engineer and the craftsmanship mastered by the watchmaker must be found.

The first challenge encountered was the energy balance of the fluid module. The question is how to move the liquid with the small amount of energy that a mechanical watch movement can produce. Since the system acts as a spring, the energy circulates every 12 hours. Therefore, no energy is lost because there is no need to “press” twice, thus losing double the energy produced by the mechanical movement. This is a matter of determining the size of all components in the Fluid Module. Then comes the task of precisely managing the movement of the two fluids. The balance between fluids is particularly critical. In fact, the liquid must be immiscible and have as low an affinity as possible with the glass wall of the capillary. However, polar liquids that can push against the glass walls tend to have an affinity for another liquid. The capillary and the two liquids must push against each other, and the colorant—except miscible with one—must never mix with the second.

complex calibration procedure

Therefore, in order to obtain a good composition of liquid and colorant, many experiments were carried out to make initially incompatible cohabitants. HYT H2 replica

This “fluid management” requires important developments to control velocity and regulate flux. The fluid channel thus undergoes the creation of regions of different diameters, allowing its flow to be regulated during each step of liquid filling, winding, function, etc. There’s also a thermal compensator that manages temperature differences, preventing the liquid from expanding. It is after repeated adjustment of the assembly of the different elements of the fluid module that it is possible to avoid liquid loss. As a comparison, the water resistance level of the fluid module is 10,000 times that of a 100-meter water-resistant watch.

The bridge between physics and watchmaking
Once the main issues are identified and resolved, they must be coordinated. Procedures must be implemented to align the requirements of the engineer with that of the watchmaker.

Therefore, watchmakers use part of the knowledge of engineers to synchronize mechanical and fluid time. Many machines were specially made; for example, there was a device that handled the sensitive and delicate steps of filling a watch. Another example is measurement tools, which help to measure the accuracy of different elements with extremely low tolerances. Glass capillaries and bellows have precise dimensions, measuring a few microns. Lastly, a loop tool is required to simulate the function of each fluid module, followed by mechanical motion.

Therefore, a HYT copy watch is more than just a movement and an additional module. It is the result of an alliance of watchmaking and physics in their most diverse forms such as micromechanics and fluid dynamics. With the H1 and most recently the H2, HYT has entered new territory in time display while creating new technologies and making them reliable.

HYT Hastroid Green Nebula. The Fluid Mechanics Clockmaker is back.

In 2012, HYT copy made a splash in the watchmaking world with its hybrid mechanical-fluid technology, which allowed the use of fluids to display the time. After a brief cessation of operations in 2021, HYT was taken over by Kairos Technology Switzerland SA and Davide Cerrato was appointed CEO. Davide is a watchmaking industry veteran with a proven track record working with brands such as Panerai, Tudor and Montblanc/Minerva. Now, HYT is back in 2022 with a brand new watch, the Hastroid. The first timepiece in the HYT saga is looking to explore new dimensions and bring new customers to the brand​​.

HYT Hastroid is designed and conceived to meet new expectations. Four new styles will join the collection, each limited to 27 pieces. The first model of the new HYT Hastroid is the Green Nebula. Equipped with a 48mm case, its construction combines titanium and carbon. Water-resistant to 50 meters, this watch is topped by a domed sapphire crystal that offers unobstructed views of the dial. At the center of the dial, two central “bellows” reservoirs take center stage, with fluid capillaries surrounding the dial. The colored liquid indicates the hours in a retrograde fashion.

Careful work has been done to improve the readability of the dial, so it has a large central hand for immediate reading of the minutes, while two sub-dials are arranged as gauges on the dash, providing important additional information, including the small seconds and Power reserve indicator.

Powering the new Hastroid Green Nebula is the hand-wound calibre 501-CM with a power reserve of 72 hours. The movement was designed by Eric Coudray with the assistance of watchmaker Paul Clementy and Tec Group head Arnaud Faivre.

“We are engaged in exquisite craftsmanship, a perfect combination of fluid technology and mechanical complexity. Meca-fluidic technology is a new term in science and research for luxury watchmaking. We have the ability to highlight the symbiosis of these two technologies – mechanical and fluids – technology,” said Davide Cerrato, CEO and Creative Director of HYT.

HYT Skull bad boy

HYT, a Swiss haute horology practitioner, redefines how we use fluid to express time to interpret time, and recently launched HYT SKULL BAD BOY. ANGUS DAVIES claims to be “two shoes of a good man”. He investigated this charming timepiece with rebellious temperament, thanks to its avant-garde aesthetics.

Will describe himself as “a pair of good shoes”, a kind soul who always seeks to conform to social norms. As far as I can remember, I have been trying to please myself, trying to please my parents, teachers, friends, authority figures, employers, etc. However, “good men” usually don’t get girls. Indeed, he is a little-known “bad boy” who has to repel countless female admirers and cannot satisfy their naughty female yearning. Yes, it seems that every girl likes bad boys.

Now, HYT, one of my favorite independent watch brands, chooses to use its Skull Bad Boy to refer to those’ne’er-do-well’ types. Although all girls like bad boys, do all boys like HYT Skull Bad Boy?

For centuries, skeleton watches and horology have been inextricably linked. This type of watch celebrates death and its close connection with time, reminding the wearer that every passing moment is precious and must be cherished.

HYT luxury recently showed the first iteration of Skull, offering a choice of red or green vibrant liquids around the stylized depiction of the head. Personally, although I appreciate the originality used when the product was released, I am not a big fan of these early Skull models. This is a surprise, because I frankly admit to admiring most watches with these three special letters HYT.

However, when I was introduced to HYT Skull Bad Boy, I was immediately attracted by its widely used undertaker’s favorite color black. In addition, I found the centered head really attractive, thanks to its mottled two-tone surface composed of gray and black tones. Like the women mentioned earlier, I am fascinated by bad boys and easily attracted by its unconventional charm.

dial

When HYT entered the field of watchmaking in 2012, it pushed the concept of creativity and invention to the limit. This high-end Swiss watch company did not try to imitate others, but chose to redefine its depiction of time. The company’s first model, the HYT H1 Titanium, contained a green liquid that was pumped through a glass capillary on the periphery of a circular dial using a mechanical movement to indicate the time. It cleverly uses the meniscus formed between the green and colorless liquid to indicate the hours, while the minutes are displayed on a more traditional subdial. Since then, other models have been launched.

The HYT H2 continues with the idea of ​​giving hours with liquid, but this time, the driving liquid pump is arranged in a V shape, reminiscent of a high-performance car engine.

Other variants of HYT H1 and H2 also followed, giving liquids of different colors, including red and blue. However, Skull Bad Boy is HYT’s first timepiece with black liquid.

Providing alternative tones may not sound like much in itself. However, please don’t get me wrong, every time a new liquid color is released, a lot of chemistry is used. Each liquid must behave in a uniform way, that is, the viscosity cannot be changed. The liquid must be stable and will not degrade or separate over time. Neither temperature nor ultraviolet light must adversely affect the fluid. Finally, the meniscus must be kept intact at all times, and the fluid should not stick to the inner wall of the capillary, otherwise the accuracy may be affected.

As a former partner of a chemical plant, I can understand the many challenges that the HYT team inevitably encounters. More precisely, they always have to overcome to add new colors to their models.

Before the launch of Skull Bad Boy, the liquid used always reflected usable light and appeared bright and fluorescent. However, for the bad boys, the behavior of the black liquid is not in line with the HYT tradition. Conversely, black liquid absorbs available light, making it “unreadable” in the dark.

On its own, the idea that the watch is somewhat illegible sounds crazy. In fact, as regular customers of ESCAPEMENT know, we often choose clear and easy-to-read watches and attach great importance to this quality. However, surprisingly, I can forgive the part-time nature of this timepiece because of its appearance.

The capillary tube shaped like a bulb is undoubtedly difficult to manufacture due to its many curves, tracking the skull in the center. This interesting hour display is not as easy to read as other HYT models, and even avoids the separate minute displays that work well on the H1 and H2 models, but again, I forgive the Skull Bad Boy for its impaired readability. The fact is, like many so-called “bad boys”, you will ignore any misdemeanor because their innate charm “conquered you”; HYT Skull Bad Boy is no exception.

I tried to rationalize my preference for this challenging timepiece and attribute its appeal to the artistic appearance it presents to the world. This is a fascinating watch, and you can’t help but like it.

The skull is made of composite material, similar to Damascus steel. A local foundry in HYT, Neuchâtel, manufactured this raw material, which is composed of multiple layers of steel and carbon, and “folded a total of 256 times.” Each skull reproduction shows its own unique appearance, and no two look the same. Finally, apply a layer of translucent varnish on the surface of the skull.

I personally find the final appearance of the skull to be fascinating. Its layers are harmoniously combined with black and gray tones, and the surface has a charming atmosphere. In addition, by looking closely at the epidermis of the skull, you will be able to observe small cracks that give extra uniqueness.

The dial is located between the hour track and the skull and is decorated with the Paris nail pattern “rivet” pattern, giving it a charming texture, attracting curious eyes to stop and appreciate. Surrounding the entire dial is a black hour track marked with Arabic numerals depicted in “Gothic font”. Ironically, the numbers may be the most traditional part of the dial, close to tradition, but somehow blend in perfectly with the other new design elements adopted.

There is a seconds dial on the left eye. Its rotating gait is not conducive to measuring elapsed seconds, but provides an indication that the watch is running, providing hypnotic gaze in the process.

The power reserve indicator occupies the right eye socket. With the continuous consumption of the 65-hour power reserve, the eyes will become darker and darker.

Skull Bad Boy does not convey information to the wearer so that the time can be accurately determined. In fact, it is almost impossible to decipher the difference between 12:31 and 12:34. but it does not matter. This is a watch that displays time with extraordinary artistic brilliance. Wearing this watch on my wrist, I can say categorically that I was stunned by the beauty of its sinister clock.

case

The Skull Bad Boy’s case is made of black DLC titanium and has been microblasted. This watch is not only a bad boy, but also a big boy, a very big boy. The diameter of the case is 51 mm and the thickness is 17.9 mm. Thanks to the titanium casing, the overall quality of this behemoth is not excessive. In addition, since the rubber-coated screw-in crown is located at 2 o’clock, its size is not a problem. In fact, despite my hard work, I still cannot get the crown to scratch my wrist or scratch my arm in any way. aaa replica watches

Another reason for the comfort of the case can be attributed to the short lugs, which can guide the strap to the downward trajectory as early as possible so that it can easily wrap around the wrist.

Holding a magnifying glass in my hand, I repeatedly found the charm in my pocket. For example, the outer vertical sides of the lugs have small grooves. This may be a small detail, but it is these happy episodes that enhance the enjoyment of ownership.

Convex sapphire crystal, although its inner surface has an anti-reflective coating, occasionally grayish white areas are produced. On many watches, I would describe this as a slight excitement, but on this watch, it seems to add a bit of mystery, just like a dancer surrounded by a sea of ​​dry ice.

The screw-in caseback is equipped with a piece of sapphire crystal glass, you can see the manual winding “exclusive HYT movement”.

sports

The manual movement that powers the Skull Bad Boy will be familiar to HYT followers. It is the same as the “exclusive HYT movement” in H1, including H1 Alumen Blue and my favorite brand H1 Iceberg timepiece.

Those readers who are not familiar with the advantages of HYT luxury watches can read my previous article to learn more about rhodium-plated bellows pumps and related reservoirs.

In the past few years, I have been invited to talk about Haute Horlogerie and Haute Horlogerie at various events. In these demonstrations, I inevitably ended up discussing HYT and showed various images of the brand model to the gathered guests, explaining the concept of using fluid to indicate time. I haven’t seen anyone look less surprised.

However, despite the modernity and jaw-dropping gorgeousness of HYT’s products, the brand has never given up the ideals of traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship. For example, if you look closely at the movement inside the Skull Bad Boy, you will find a beautifully hand-made beveled splint decorated with the Côtes de Genève pattern. Although HYT shows a playful character in some of its designs, it is not fooled by taking risks. This is a serious watch company that produces excellent high-end watches.

Unsurprisingly, HYT Skull Bad Boy is a rule-breaking, rebellious and unconventional person. The aptly named creation does not support the mainstream, it follows its own path of anarchism. The dial is not the easiest to read, and for some potential buyers, the case may be too large. However, this is not important.

Skull Bad Boy provides something new, fresh and exciting. It represents the combination of clock and art. At this market level, potential buyers are unlikely to own only one watch, and potential buyers may own several watches. If you want to measure small time units, then HYT provides an alternative watch that is more suitable for daily wear. However, if you want to understand the philosophical concepts of time, death, and the value of life, then HYT Skull Bad Boy may be for you.

So, I return to my original question, “Although all girls like bad boys, do all boys like HYT Skull Bad Boy?” Well, I can’t answer all boys, but for one person, I really want to Put on a leather jacket, ride on Harley-Davidson, then put the HYT Skull Bad Boy on my wrist, and ride until sunset.

HYT H1 watch

Get started with HYT H1 watch

During the press conference, HYT was crowded. Many people go to listen to Vincent Perriard discuss the internal workings of H1, this is his new brand HYT new watch. After being teased for a few months and then making its debut recently, HYT is a high-end geek watch designed to combine traditional mechanical watches and liquids. H1 is the first version of the brand, and more liquid-themed watches will be launched in the future. After the meeting, I interviewed Periyad and got a special hands-on appearance and demonstration from his own new watch.

If you understand Perriard’s past work, you will be familiar with his passion and design decisions. Futurism and “doing things in a different way” are factors that help motivate him. He speaks very fast in French when explaining watches, and shares the same level of insight and enthusiasm in English when showing off his toys. H1 is a very cool and unnecessary watch-in this industry, the exact formula for the success of the watch is this level. When I made my debut to the world, I first reported on HYT H1 here.

My own experience of H1 almost met my expectations-it’s good. A bold futuristic design, big on the wrist, but still very wearable. The case is 48.8 mm wide and 17.8 mm thick. With lifting ears, it fits most wrists well. You can’t help but notice the two bellows in the movement and the glowing green liquid ring used to indicate the hours. The concept execution seems flawless, especially when you adjust the number of hours back and forth and the green mucus quickly moves around the scale. It basically uses pressure, but as far as I know, I have never used a crown to do such a thing-maybe not on such a small scale.

The piece we are examining is a titanium alloy coated with black DLC. There are uncoated titanium versions, as well as full 18k rose gold and 18k rose gold mixed black versions. These four models will launch the brand, and will apparently sell their first few batches to retailers who will sell HYT fake watches around the world.

As I mentioned, Perriard likes to make high-end toys. This is how H1 feels. It’s like a smart kid can dream. This is also something that a grown up child will be happy to wear. It takes a lot of technical expertise to fully understand the role of the movement, but almost anyone can enjoy the concept in practice. I think Perriard knows this concept best-if you want a successful new watch brand to sell high-priced goods, it needs to be something that can surprise ordinary people.

The dial has a retrograde liquid indicator for hours and a dial for minutes-both are easy to read. There is an auxiliary seconds counter and a useful power reserve indicator for the manual winding movement. Perriard turned to the back of the watch and explained how he wanted to complete and decorate the movement in a relatively classic way—not to potentially alienate the core consumer watch lovers. The cheeky accordion bellows on the dial is something you have never seen on the dial before. Such iconic elements will surely become the logo of the brand.

For most people, the price is still completely impossible, but it does provide a better opportunity for the rich to own and enjoy extremely exotic watches. Like everyone else, I am enjoying the style and composure and technological innovation provided by H1. Perriard promises that the future will become more and more complex, so I expect the H1 to become their entry-level model in the next few years. Usually, brands like this start with ultra-high flagship models, but for HYT, getting the right technology may be the most important thing. I really like what they are doing, and CEO Perriard’s passion for the product has undoubtedly made the transaction sweeter.

HYT H2 Titanium Black DLC-Comprehensive review

In 2012, when the first Hydro-Mechanical watch H1 was launched, this young and crazy brand HYT caused an uproar in the watchmaking world. Those guys have a strange idea to equip their works with the worst enemy of watches: liquids. We tested this watch and we fell in love with it only because of the rationality and seriousness of the concept. As early as 2013, only a year after their first attempt, HYT brought a more exciting successor called HYT H2 Titanium Black DLC, which we tested again.

The HYT H1 Red2 that we processed for a few weeks gave us some clues about how serious this concept is. When this watch came out, we were very excited at first, but also a little skeptical. How can such a complicated idea be realized by a brand just registered? Of course, the HYT team consists of watchmakers and talented engineers (with their sister company Preciflex). But even…

However, they did it-and they did it well! The project is clearly realized. We are very surprised to see that such an idea can be realized with such a serious degree in such a short period of time. This could be a toy or a watch locked in a safe. Not at all! It can even be regarded as a sports watch, sturdy and durable, and can be used as a suitable daily beater. Of course, development is not so easy. HYT has to face several industrialization and reliability issues-these issues have now been resolved. Even more surprising is that the brand launched its second watch quickly, using the same fluid indicator concept, but with more complex movement and display. It was in 2013 (only one year after H1), and this is the watch we are reviewing today.

HYT H2 brings back the main interest of HYT H1 (the brand’s inaugural watch): the fluid indication of time. Although most watches display the time by rotating their hands on a central axis—or at least by discs or satellites—it is still a mechanical module driven by gears, wheels, and levers. Although these displays may be complicated-look at our “other displays” section-it is still a game of mechanics. With HYT-whether we are talking about H1 or H2-watchmakers are introducing something completely meaningless and even dangerous to watches: liquids. In a circular tube located around the dial, liquid flows to indicate the hours. As already seen in the context of HYT H1, HYT H2 brings the same concept to a more complex watch, which was born in collaboration with the famous APRP manufacturer Audemars-Piguet Renaud & Papi.

HYT H2 showed more functions, better integrated fluid module, now directly into the movement, longer power reserve and amazing level of detail. The first H1 is to create a buzzing sound. H2 is made to build brand reputation and prove the importance of this concept to other industries.

Like HYT H1, the main feature of HYT H2 is a regulator-type display. Its capillary is filled with two liquids: fluorescent liquid and translucent liquid. The chronograph indication is divided into two parts: the hour is indicated by the fluid, and the minute is indicated by the central hand-it is novel compared to the HYT H1, because the minute is not located on the 12 o’clock sub-dial, but the classic rotating display. The minute hand is now larger and located in the middle of the watch. It must be read on the sapphire track located inside the green tube. However, it is no longer a classic hand. Between 5:30 and 6:30, it will make a small jump and continue to orbit the dial.

How does fluid technology work?

This is part of our HYT H1 Red2 review.

The hour display relies on 3 separate elements: glass tube, 2 liquids and 2 pistons/tanks. The idea leading to H1/H2 consists of two flexible reservoirs fixed at both ends of the capillary. One is an aqueous liquid filled with fluorescein (red here), and the other is a transparent viscous liquid. Keep them separate: the repulsive force of the molecules in each liquid, mark the boundary between the two with the meniscus. As time passes, the fluorescent liquid advances. The half-moon-shaped meniscus marks the breaking point of another liquid in the tube and indicates the time. At 18:00, the fluorescent liquid returns to its original position and moves backwards. HYT fake

The two bellows create pressure or dents to move the liquid. Over time, the left piston pushes the fluorescent green liquid into the glass tube while the right piston expands. Once it arrives at 18:00, the process is reversed and the right piston compresses to send the green liquid backwards to its original position/reservoir.

The main limitation is to produce two liquids that cannot be mixed with each other, even under high or low temperature or various pressure conditions or when the watch is impacted.

APRP’s participation is easy to spot. The movement is fully opened, showing incredible depth. All technical elements-gear train, escapement module and pistons-are completely exposed. We also found the typical APRP crown indicator in 3 places, and something new: the temperature indicator at 9:30. The last improvement compared to HYT H1 is the expansion of the power reserve. The APRP team is known for its strong mastery of energy and power consumption, and HYT H2 shows this with an 8-day power reserve.

HYT H2-here is the titanium black DLC version-is obviously a huge watch. Its case is made of lightweight solid titanium and painted black with diamond-like carbon technology, measuring 48.8 mm x 17.9 mm. This may put pressure on the paper, but this watch is still easy to strap on-of course considering its size. The case brought back the same DNA as the HYT H1, but it felt cleaner. It allows more attention to the dial and instructions. The milled bezel of the H1 has been completely removed and replaced by a high-curved sapphire crystal glass that spreads over the entire dial. The case and lugs are fully brushed-expect some polished edges to enhance the design. The crown is still located at 3 places and is protected by a large hollow strap on the side of the case.

Like its predecessor, HYT H2 may be a concept watch and technical demonstration, but it is also a sports watch. HYT H2 is equipped with a screw-in case back and screw-in crown, making the watch water-resistant to 50 meters. Of course, it will not replace your Tudor Pelagos or Omega Seamaster, and we doubt whether the owner of HYT H2 will use it as a suitable tool table. However, the watch feels sturdy and durable. It can be used and abused (a bit). The HYT H2 is equipped with a black rubber strap with a folding clasp, confirming the instrumentality of this ultimate timepiece.

It also offers multiple versions: black DLC and pink gold with green liquid, platinum with blue liquid, platinum and titanium with red liquid, and titanium with gun metal PVD treatment and blue liquid.

This time, we will not make a separate part for the dial and hands, because both are fully integrated in the movement. The HYT H1 method is more classic. The movement created with Chronode consists of two modules (a classic clock module and a fluid module with bellows and tubes), which are connected by a cam mechanism.

In the context of HYT H2, these two modules are now fully integrated in one movement. Compared to HYT’s first product, the first thing to change is the position of the piston/bellows, which are now in a V shape-which reminds us of the Harley-Davidson engine. The V-shaped positioning of the bellows optimizes the integration of the interface that connects the watch mechanism with the fluid system. This system can be seen at 9 on the dial. It consists of a worm wheel with an ever-increasing diameter, which generates pressure on an arm to compress the left bellows to push the liquid in the capillary. Compared with H1, this structure leaves more space, so the minute hand can be placed in the center, while the balance spring is located on the black bridge on the upper half of the dial.

The escapement module is not the only exposed mechanical part, because the gear train and the wheels that drive the big minute hand are also completely visible on the front. The dial shows extraordinary depth, giving HYT H2 futuristic, industrial and mechanical elements. The all-black finish of the parts is inspired by the classic haute horological finishes: polished bevels and straight lines on the steel parts and wheels. Multiple small bridge plates are made of titanium, hollowed out, and micro-sandblasted with black DLC coating.

The movement also adds two other complications. The first is the crown position indicator (helps to find the fit of the APRP). There are 3 positions: N means neutral – H is used to set the time – R is used to wind the chain. The second complication is the temperature indicator. Since the watch is full of liquid, high temperature or low temperature will affect the viscosity, thereby affecting the displacement of the liquid.

Compared with the front, the movement on the back is much simpler. It mainly shows two huge barrels that provide 8 days (192 hours) of energy for fake HYT H2. Considering that the barrel must continuously drive 2 bellows and one liquid, this result is very impressive. The remaining power can be read by an indicator located directly on the left barrel. The tighter the main spring (and therefore the closer to the center), the greater the remaining power. Simple but not very precise.

When you are faced with such a complex and unusual project, how do you look at such a watch and how to maintain a minimum of objectivity? It’s like being a car journalist in front of the latest Lamborghini or Pagani. Such a sports car or concept watch is a coveted object, without reason and rationality. First of all, the price categorizes it as a level that we cannot reach 99.99%-therefore, it becomes the object of our desire and hides its shortcomings, just because it makes us dream.

If we must add our objectivity to the equation, we must admit that HYT H2 is a very successful project, with superb modern watch methods, extreme and unusual appearance, very interesting technical content, even though these elements are completely Realized, sturdy and durable, (almost) suitable for all occasions. However, it has the shortcomings of most conceptual watches, which means that the legibility is not as good as the classic watches (minutes do have to be read on the track because of its unnatural position) and lacks a bit of elegance-not on the HYT H2 Platinum Something too obvious. However, competing with ultra-thin JLC is not HYT’s goal-and this will not end anytime soon, as the brand recently revealed another crazier watch, HYT H3.

HYT H1 and H2 watches – what makes them tick?

Hy h1 replica watches. This is an interesting watch, not what you see people often wear. Obviously, the fans we vote can appreciate it, and you can tell this watch different from most luxury watches. HYT is not a widely recognized brand, such as Rolex or a hundred years.

The HYT watch is very different from any other luxury watch. Although many other watch work and “check” the same way, the HYT watch “Check” is completely different. But we will enter this later.

In Basel, we have the opportunity to look at HYT and its watches. This starts our interest. At a glance, in the HYT copy watch, it is obvious that these are not your typical luxury watches. At a glance, the initial idea of ​​a person may be “um?”. And I think this may be HYT is working hard. This watch excited conspiracy and curiosity. It usually observes a hand to tell the hour, minute, often seconds. There is a silver sub-level in the middle of the HYT dial, manually shows a few minutes and smaller dials display seconds. But how do you for a few hours? This is where this watch has become interesting. Hours and minutes showed the edge of the dial edge around the edge of the dial, and the liquid propagated around the dial. You have heard that you think “I think the inside of the liquid can corrode the movement of the watch?”. This is why HYT’s technology and innovation are so amazing.

HYT is called “hydropower system”. Mechanical motion drives the cam at the top of the watch, then push it piston, activate the bellows, visible on the dial. The bellows are made of an electrodeposition alloy. As the bellows are activated, then the liquid pumps to the outside of the watch to display the correct time. replica watches china

But how is this work? Since they create a liquid that is a correct color, seven patents have been granted HYT, which is waterproof and will not change as vibration or temperature changes. The liquid pumps from the corrugated pipe pump at 6:00, once it completed its stroke outside the dial, it will be received by another belryer.

Other factors adding to this watches are its construction. The dial has a sapphire crystal, on top of 6 o’clock. In the middle, larger subtabs show a few minutes and smaller water wheels, such as sub-positions show seconds. In addition to minutes and seconds, there is a power reserve indicator for 3 o’clock. This watch is quite large, and the thickness is measured in diameter of 48.8 mm and 17.9 mm.

HYT H2 update, has many identical features. One of the most obvious differences is the bellows, which is in V-shaped, not directly up and down. Moreover, the dial of the H2 has a temperature indicator and the “H-N-R” crown position indicator. It is the same as H1 observation and functionality very similar to the size of H1.

This is a truly amazing, innovative brand. It provides things different from your typical luxury watches, which have been made in the same way for a long time.

HYT H1 watch hands-on

At the press conference, it was crowded on replica HYT. Many people go to listen to Vincent Perriard discuss the internal working principle of H1, which is a new watch launched by his new brand HYT. After several months, HYT made its debut recently. It is a high-end geek watch designed to combine traditional mechanical watches with liquid watches. H1 is the first version of the brand, and more liquid-themed watches will be launched in the future. After the meeting, I caught up with Perriard and got a special hands-on look and demonstration from the man of the new watch himself.

If you know Perriard’s past work, you will be familiar with his passion and design decisions. Futurism and “doing things differently” are the factors that motivate him. When explaining watches, he speaks French very quickly, and when showing off his toys, English has the same insight and enthusiasm. H1 is an extremely cool and unnecessary watch – a precise formula to reach this level can contribute to the success of the industry. When I first presented replica HYT H1 to the world, I introduced it here.

Hands-on H1 almost met my expectations-very good. Bold futuristic design, big on the wrist, but still very wearable. The case is 48.8 mm wide and 17.8 mm thick. With lobed ears, it means it fits most wrists well. You can’t help but notice the two bellows in the movement and the glowing green liquid ring, which indicate the hours. The conceptual execution seems to be flawless, especially when you adjust the number of hours back and forth and the green consistency quickly moves on the scale. It basically uses pressure, but as far as I know, I have never done anything with a crown so far, maybe not on such a small scale.

The part we want to check is a titanium alloy coated with black DLC. There are uncoated titanium versions, as well as full 18k rose gold and 18k rose gold and black versions mixed together. These four models will launch the brand and apparently sell its first few batches to retailers who will sell HYT watches worldwide.

As I mentioned, Perriard likes to make high-end toys. H1 feels exactly the same. It’s like something a smart kid would dream of. This is also something that an adult child will wear happily. It takes a lot of technical experts to fully understand the functions of the movement, but the concepts in actual operation can be enjoyed by almost everyone. I think Perriard understands this concept best-if you want to have a successful new watch brand to sell high-priced goods, then it must be admirable by ordinary people.

On the dial, you can see the retrograde liquid indicator for the hours and the dial for the minutes-both are easy to read. There is an auxiliary seconds hand and a useful power reserve indicator for manual winding. Perriard turned to the back of the watch and explained how he wanted the movement to be finished and decorated in a relatively classic way-core watch lovers who didn’t want to potentially alienate consumers. The heavy accordion bellows on the dial is something you have never seen on the dial before. Such signature elements will surely become the logo of the brand.

For most people, the price is still completely impossible, but it does provide a better opportunity for the rich and super-rich to own and enjoy highly exotic watches. I and others are enjoying the fashion, demeanor and technological innovation that H1 provides. Perriard promises to be more and more complex in the future, so I expect the H1 to be the entry-level model in the next few years. Usually, brands like this start with ultra-high flagship models, but the right technology may be the most important thing to start with HYT. I really like what they are doing, and CEO Perriard’s passion for the product undoubtedly made this deal more successful. Find HYT H1 watches in selected retailers now.

HYT H1 Titanium

What I look at is the image of HYT H1 Titanium and the counterclockwise hand, which avoids the appearance of the traditional dauphine-shaped hands in high-end watches. Instead, I prefer to use fluorescent green liquid to give time.

As we burn fossil fuels and consume the earth’s natural resources, the search for new energy sources becomes more urgent.

Solar energy has caused many households in the UK to install unsightly panels on the roofs of their houses to reduce rising energy costs. Wind power has caused a large number of turbines to cover the once green and unspoiled hills of Cumbria.

In some cases, going green may mean embracing new energy sources, but unfortunately, they look ugly.

The concept of combining liquid with mechanical motion sounds dangerous. However, after years of development, this watch has attracted some of the most talented people in the watchmaking world.

dial

The power reserve is between 2 o’clock and 3 o’clock.

The lower part of the dial shows the rhodium bellows. They compress and accept the two liquids used to transfer time. It is the wonder of this pump that gives the wearer the right to brag. For some people, it is engineering technology that can bring dedication and joy.

case
This is a behemoth of a watch, with a case diameter of 48.8 mm and a height of 17.9 mm. Nevertheless, the use of titanium means that the quality is moderate and will not cause unnecessary burden on the wearer’s biceps.

Lugs are one of the few traditional aspects of watch design. Black rubber covers the screw crown. An asymmetrical titanium crown guard extends along the contour of the lower part of the case. The screw-in sapphire caseback provides the wearer with a view of the fine movement in the exquisite case.

movement
The aforementioned piston is made of a high-strength electrodeposited alloy. They are powered by conventional manual wound movement with a frequency of 4 Hz.

The mechanical movement adopts the most exquisite craftsmanship synonymous with traditional watchmaking craftsmanship. chrono4usale.com

The bridge is manually chamfered and decorated with Côtes de Genève patterns.

Please use two liquids for the countercurrent hours. These are pumped to a clear channel around the dial. Green fluorescent water-based liquid can provide hours. The viscous, colorless liquid fills the rest of the channel. The meniscus of green liquid indicates precise time in the same way as traditional hands.

The liquid used is accurately measured to ensure a precise correlation with time, and this liquid was chosen due to its stability. They are not adversely affected by time, altitude or other variables, which can negate the reliable timekeeping of the watch.

Few watch manufacturers can provide truly unique watches. In this case, HYT chose to walk on pristine snow. They did not follow conventions, nor did they plagiarize the creativity of others. Instead, they thought outside the box and made very interesting timepieces.

This is one of the few cases where green environmental protection does not seem to have obvious shortcomings, and its unparalleled design language attracts and attracts aesthetics.
