This is a world premiere revealing the first full look at the intriguing new HYT H1 timepiece from the newly formed Hydro Mechanical Horologists. Hour indications are displayed for the first time ever, via a phosphorescent liquid filled tube. Fluid is pumped into the hour tube via a 2-piston hydraulic system, visible from the front and back of watch, with the precise amount of fluid representing the hour of the day at any given time. Watch it in action below.

This is the Vangarde Tempo Théorie, a new limited edition timepiece with a Swiss made 7750 based skeleton movement.

Perhaps the coolest elements of this timepiece, aside from the openworked movement, are the hands. Machined from solid alloy in aluminum, magnesium and silicon (and featuring Superluminova inserts), the hands are skeletonized and uniquely shaped. They are off-center mounted, resulting in a very distinct way of telling the time (you have to watch the video to fully understand).

"The hour and minute hands are opposed, overlap, intersect, are juxtaposed, while the counter hands complete this design even more complex kinetic whole. All these combinations are an architectural structure similar to a polymorphic array in motion, moved by the mechanical energy of a spring. The visual is confusing and encourages curiosity, while remaining perfectly legible."
