Limited edition of 8 pieces
HYT’S hydro-mechanical watchmakers limited edition H20 in earthy tones of red and brown.
The H20 Brown Limited Edition is housed in a 51mm stainless steel case that has been rounded like a pebble. This soft and ergonomic shape continues the theme of fluidity right onto the wrist, making it extremely wearable in spite of its large diameter. This soft and rounded design is further enhanced by a large domed sapphire crystal that covers the mechanism and represents two-thirds of the surface area of the watch. Limited to eight pieces, the H20 comes fitted with a dark brown PVD-coated case and a supple brown rubber strap.
The H20 draws the eye into the liquid display thanks to a spectacular domed crystal which lets the light flood into the workings of the watch. This transparency offers the wearer a three-dimensional view of the round capillaries that support the bright red liquid as it advances at the speed of time.
The timepiece works using two liquids—one clear and one red—that are pushed around the capillaries by two bellows. The meniscus between these two liquids gives the reading of the hours, while a retrograde jumping hand indicates the minutes. Once the red liquid reaches six o’clock, the liquid retracts and starts its journey again at the beginning of the gauge. This fascinating display is also illuminated at night thanks to Super-LumiNova under the capillaries.
Although the stunning three-dimensional movement by Audemars Piguet Renaud & Papi is not the intended focus of the timepiece, its exceptional construction and finishing do not go unnoticed and enhance the architectural design of the piece.
