Watchmakers have been trying to remove liquids from their watches. Although water clocks have existed for centuries, wrist-sized timers have traditionally been tightly sealed to repel elements. Most watch manufacturers want to see oil near their intricate gears, pinions and plates. This is the only liquid. Most watch companies boast that their products resist tough liquids through a tough waterproof design.
So when HYT introduced what might be a brand new watch category a few years ago, it actually emphasized that it used liquid as an integral part of the presentation time, and that some observers were skeptical.
With the first batch of HYT models getting in touch with collectors' wrists in 2012, skeptics soon became fans. The brand's premier model H1 shows to the world that HYT has successfully used liquid properties to show time.BUY RICHARD MILLE RM 11-02 LE MANS CLASSIC replica watch
By creating a new world of fluid mechanics in the clock industry, HYT CEO Vincent Perriard and a team of watchmakers are very much in pursuit of their founder, Lucien Vouillamoz, who considered fluid mechanics and high-end watchmaking more than a decade ago. Combine. The nuclear engineer and fluid mechanic expert Vouillamoz first considered this idea at the 2002 Swiss National Exhibition. In the lake near Neuchâtel, ironically, many traditional and waterproof Swiss watches have already been manufactured. century.
Ideas for concepts
Vouillamoz initially wanted to shrink the movement of ancient water clocks or clitoris to fit the wrist. After several years of thinking, he decided to integrate fluid mechanics and watchmaking techniques. He eventually created a new company, HYT, and developed a previously unheard of blueprint for the interface between the hydraulic shut-off system and the proven hand-wound Swiss watch movement.

After several years of thinking, he decided to integrate fluid mechanics and watchmaking techniques. He eventually created a new company, HYT, and developed a previously unheard of blueprint for the interface between the hydraulic shut-off system and the proven hand-wound Swiss watch movement.
Labeled as "a flaw between fine watchmaking and fluid mechanics", HYT's design and structure took several years to design and manufacture, many of which were prototyped after ten years at Vouillamoz's first idea and preferred H1 model. It was considered and abandoned.
Vouillamoz was selected as a Perriard veteran in 2010. The experience of Perriard's liquid injection power reserve indicator made for Concord a few years ago made him an ideal partner for HYT's next-generation hydraulic machine method. HYT and its sister company Preciflex, a manufacturer of liquid components, then sent an invitation to Chronode's sports designer Jean-Francois Mojon and his team to design the first H1 model. HYT invited Giulio Papi, technical director of watchmaker Audemars Piguet (Renaud & Papi), to build the latest H2 product line.
Bellows
Essentially, each series relies on two flexible reservoirs (bellows, right) with capillary caps at each end. One of the bellows is a fluorescent liquid called fluorescein. The other is a viscous clear liquid. Keeping them separate is the repulsive force of the molecules in each fluid.

Over time, the piston in one reservoir pushes the colorful fluorescent liquid into the capillary and the other is filled with clear liquid. The point where the two liquids meet, the meniscus, acts as the hour hand, indicating the time around the dial.
At 6 PM, the fluorescent liquid returned to its original position. When the liquid returns quickly, the liquid replicates the retrograde movement, deepening the integration of HYT's own avant-garde design and classic watchmaking display. The entire display is, of course, powered by an internal manual winding motion that controls the flow of liquid within the bellows while controlling the minute hand and second hand on H1, and the jump hand on H2.
The NASA sensor inspired the HYT bellows design. HYT borrowed from the experience of sister company Preciflex's fluid dynamics, and miniaturized NASA's aerospace design to fit the case so that it could only use the classically designed spring bucket.
Not surprisingly, all of this research and development means that HYT is developing numerous technical achievements that were previously unseen in the field of fine watchmaking. In fact, HYT has so far registered seven hydro-mechanical technology patents and one watch design patent. The company's work has also won praise from its watch counterparts: In 2012, HYT won the best innovative watch concept trophy at the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix.
H1
The first model that emerged from HYT's hydro-mechanical laboratory was the H1, which was offered as a series of 48.8 mm titanium gold watches. At first glance, the avant-garde design was combined with at least one traditional dial to show minutes. These designs have a low power reserve indicator between the 3 o'clock position and the 4 o'clock position, and a second display between the 9 o'clock position and the 10 o'clock position.

The latest H1 model can be used for a variety of metals and alloys, including aluminum, titanium and gold, all offering a variety of combinations. In addition, several H1 models also have unusual shell materials. For example, the new H1 Azo project offers a shell made of Azo polyepoxyde, a translucent resin that is three times lighter than stainless steel and three times more wear-resistant. The new H1 graphite project provides a darker polyepoxyde case.
The new H1 Alumen Blue features a blue anodized aluminum case, while the new H1 Dracula DLC offers a red LCD display in a titanium DLC case with brushed, shot blasted and satin finished surfaces.wholesale replica watches for sale
H2
The second series, H2, uses a redesigned movement that encloses the bellows and detectors, cam and piston system, while also exposing all of these components through the fully open front and back, all of which are on the same 48.8 mm. Within the shell size.

Renaud & Papi's construction crew removed the bellows from the vertical position at the bottom of the cabinet and positioned them at the 6 o'clock position, but with a v-shape, very similar to a car or aero engine. This new design optimizes the way in which fluids and fluids fuse, partly explaining why H2 provides a longer (8 days) power reserve than H1 (65 hours).
At 3 o'clock, Renaud & Papi added the H-N-R Crown position indicator, which is intended to recall the shift lever of the car, as well as an indicator to remind collectors that similar devices Renaud & Papi were created for several high-end Audemars Piguet concept watches. The letters indicate the crown function: hour (H), neutral (N) and winding (R).
The H-N-R indicator is offset by the HYT dedicated temperature indicator. To eliminate the effect of heat and cold on the fluid's position, the temperature indicator shows whether the watch is in its optimal temperature range. The H2 minute hand is significantly different from the more traditional dial H1 minute hand. On H2, the hand will skip the bellows at 6 PM, creating a complementary echo of the "jumping" of the hourly fluid.
In the new H2 models: H2 titanium white gold SQ, H2 titanium white gold blue and H2 black DLC and pink gold. Each version is a limited edition, usually fifteen or twenty units per version. We have already described several new H1 and H2 models in this article and detailed the case material and strap options for each model.
