Watch Description
Exotic - Rare - And Absolutely Breathtaking! Super Exclusive H1 from HYT.
A powerful & striking watch - will definitely draw attention & makes for a great
conversation piece.
H1: Hydro Mechanics We knew about
clepsydras or water clocks. The oldest found thus far dates back to the
age of the pharaohs. It took 3400 years to overcome the force of gravity
and indicate the time with a liquid in a mechanical wristwatch. Many
have dreamt of it – HYT has done it. The principle An encounter between
Fine Watchmaking and fluid mechanics. One might say a utopia. Shattering
all certainties, steamrollering conformity, the idea that led to the H1
was simple and consisted of two flexible reservoirs fixed to each end
of a capillary. In one was an aqueous liquid filled with fluorescein,
and in the other, a transparent viscous liquid. To keep them separate:
the repulsive force of the molecules in each liquid, with a meniscus to
mark the boundary between the two. The two reservoirs at 06:00. While
the first compresses, the second expands, and the other way round,
resulting in the movement of the liquid in the capillary. As the hours
go by, the fluorescent liquid advances.
The meniscus, in the shape of a
half moon, marks the breaking point with the other fluid in the tube,
indicating the time. At 18:00, the fluorescent liquid comes back to its
original position, going backwards. The secret that gets the reservoirs
going? Two bellows made of a highly resistant, flexible
electro-deposited alloy, each driven by a piston. And this is where
watchmaking comes in to activate the system. A mechanical movement to
activate the hydro system Orchestrated by Bruno Moutarlier, alongside
Jean-François Mojon and his Chronode SA team, a mechanical movement is
situated in the upper part of the watch, and propels a cam, which pushes
the piston and activates the bellows. The main challenge lay in finding
an interface between the mechanical movement and the hydro system in a
closed, waterproof circuit – a task further complicated by the limited
space available to house them both. They had to be assembled separately
to keep them independent, and then made to operate simultaneously. This
is a highly delicate modular integration, which involves other
constraints, such as the installation of the dial in two parts, through
the sides. From concept to reality: the convergence of two worlds with a
common aim While the basic idea is simple, realising it is highly
complex. Led by Bruno Moutarlier, two teams worked together. On the
watchmaking front were Jean-François Mojon and his supporting team at
Chronode. Working on the fluid operation was Preciflex, the patent
registration company created by the founders of HYT – Patrick Berdoz,
Lucien Vouillamoz and Emmanuel Savioz. Supporting Preciflex was Helbling
Technik, from the medical world, where fluid motion is used in certain
treatments. An incredible human adventure that propelled two worlds in
principle at odds with each other towards a new joint era – that in
which a unique technology would rock not only watchmaking but also
medtech, because the pump system would lead the way for brand-new
applications in that field. Wat
