At Geneva Watch Days 2025, Wei Koh sits down with Guillaume Tetu, founder of Hautlence, to discover the brand’s latest novelties and hear about his return to the maison. The conversation begins with the new Linear Series, featuring a titanium case, integrated strap, and Hautlence’s signature jumping display where the minutes reset to zero every hour as the next hour comes into view. Built with the engineering resources of sister brand H. Moser & Cie., the piece delivers playful mechanics in a more wearable format. Tetu also unveils bold new architectural dial designs, created through 3D printing in brass and filled with luminescence for dramatic night effects. Another variant features layered polishing that changes appearance as the light shifts, reinforcing Hautlence’s reputation for avant-garde design. Beyond the watches, the discussion touches on Hautlence’s strategy, its 20th anniversary celebrations, and its growing presence in Southeast Asia and Taiwan through partners like Sincere, Cortina, and Pandan Room. With Tetu back at the helm, Hautlence is reaffirming its mission: to blend mechanical creativity with contemporary design, honoring its roots while pushing the brand to the next level.
