HYT

Last week at Baselworld HYT officially launched the second generation of their liquid mechanical timepiece. In conjunction with Audemars Piguet Renaud et Papi, HYT essentially reinvented the H1 — by changing the bellows which pump the fluid into the tube which displays the hour — into a “V” pattern thereby improving the timepiece’s form and function. The new configuration offers a more complicated visually appearance and offers better integration between the interface which connects the watch mechanisms with the fluidic system.

Also, for 2013, HYT created an H1 with red fluid (pictured below), as well as adding a smoked grey and bright yellow resin case (pictured below) to the lineup.

This is the official trailer video for the new HYT H2 which will be officially launched at Baselworld 2013 later this month. See the pictures HERE.

After successfully launching the H1 last year at Baselworld, HYT has partnered with APRP (Audemars Piguet Renaud et Papi) to produce the H2. Building on the original concept of using a hybrid movement that is both mechanical and uses fluid to tell the time, the H2 represents the next step forward in liquid mechanical watchmaking.

We sat down with the CEO of HYT watches, Vincent Perriard, during SIHH in January. At the time, he showed us a preview of the yet to be released H2 timepiece. While we were taking a wristshot of the H1 on Vincent’s wrist, we also inadvertently got a partial shot of the upcoming H2 which you can see on his Macbook Pro in the picture above. Up until now, only a picture of the H2 movement has been released, so this is the first look at the watch. Stay tuned for more info on the H2.
