HYT watches - H1 Air Collection
For the first time, HYT unveils a complete collection of limited pieces in one shot. Moreover, the pieces explore uncharted territories such as the maritime world and camouflage.
But the third and most surprising aspect of the air collection is that it includes HYT's first classical piece!
H1 Air RC44
The H1 Air RC44 is the first piece that HYT has created as part of a partnership. More than ever 'fluids are in our DNA' says HYT CEO Vincent Perriard.
Since February 2015, HYT has been the official timekeeper for the RC44 regatta created by Russell Coutts, five times winner of the America's Cup, the most difficult match race in the world and oldest trophy in sport. Vincent Perriard adds: 'For this occasion, we needed a piece that of course leveraged on our fluid technology but also matched the performance and the lightness of a monocoque'.
The movement of the H1 Air RC44 is covered by a sapphire dial, another first for HYT. The part of the dial covering the bellows remains translucent to allow an unobstructed view of the heart of the watch. Two other un-tinted and open areas have been integrated for the same reasons of visibility: to the left of the dial to display the seconds and to the right to show the power reserve.
"This play on light and shadows is the common denominator in all three Air pieces," explains Vincent Perriard. "These new H1s are designed in strata, firstly with the movement, then the sapphire dial and then finally the applied chapter ring. Playing with these different levels allowed us to integrate new depths and a different volume and richness to the pieces".
On the RC44 the sapphire dial is adorned with an applied chapter ring made of a single piece of carbon, evoking the ultra perfectionist structures of racing monocoques.
The strap is made of black yacht sail canvas and is equipped with a folding clasp in titanium black DLC.
Only 22 pieces of the H1 Air RC44 will be produced.
H1 Air Classic
"We are known for creating what has never been seen and what should be impossible," explains Vincent Perriard. "The H1 Air Classic differs from anything we have done before. It is an Art Deco piece destined for the collector who is looking for classical horological codes with an avant-garde technology. This H1 Classic follows our mantra: to go where we are not expected, surprise our fans from the first minute - and I think we have done this."
For the H1 Air Classic, HYT didn't simply recreate a traditional piece. The brand remained loyal to its codes and to its hydraulic technology: large Roman numerals, gold tone, optimal visibility and chocolate tones all served with an alligator strap.
Its case is in titanium and 5N gold favouring a lightness and a resistance to the passing fancy and fashion of time. Its Roman numerals are placed on an applied chapter ring that rests on its sapphire dial.
The H1 Air Classic is worn on a brown alligator leather strap,with titanium foldover clasp, and comes in a limited edition of 25 pieces.
H1 Air Pixel
The sapphire dial of the H1 Air Pixel has an urban camouflage nuanced with tones of grey. In this monochrome universe, the liquid, the seconds and the power reserve literally spring from their aperture giving the piece an exhilirating 3D sensation. Its case is in titanium black DLC giving this last piece a furtive, modern and powerful feel.
Its strap is made of black alligator leather and equipped with a titanium black DLC foldover clasp.
25 pieces will be available.
