All New H20
During the 2018 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, nestled in the Carré des Horlogers where the Salon showcases independent watchmakers, HYT launched its all-new H20 collection, the next logical step for the brand — after all, why stretch its resources thin trying to make something else when it does these liquid timepieces so well?
The H20 collection debuted in January 2018 with two limited edition pieces, one in black with a bright green fluid and the other silver with a deep blue liquid. The movement, exclusive to HYT, remained largely the same, but the dial design was revamped from the H0 collection. The curved, cloche-like sapphire crystal offers a complete side view of the watch, and the dial has essentially been opened up. It looks almost skeletonized, with the movement on full display on the dial, screws, bellows, wheels and all. The numbers for the hours stand upright on the side of the case, fully visible with the sapphire cloche, and the brightly dyed liquid moves along a curved tube around the dial to indicate the minutes.
A Golden H0 & H4 Variations
Along with the new H20 collection, HYT released a golden version of their H0 at SIHH 2018. Matched with a black liquid and matt black strap, the H0 Gold is sleek, sophisticated, and continues to stand out from the crowd. Since then, HYT has doubled down on gold, releasing a version of the H0 Gold with red liquid/red strap and a smaller (48mm) version of its Skull watch, one version in pink gold and the other in gold and black DLC-coated titanium.
