HYT H1 ***** Hands-On
HYT was packed during the push conference. Many came to listen to Vincent Perriard discuss the lining workings of the H1, a brand new watch from his brand new brand HYT. Recently first showed after months of teasers, HYT is a high-end nerd watch that aims to mix traditional mechanical watches along with liquids. The H1 may be the first product launched through the brand, and there will be much more liquid-themed watches in the future. We caught up with Perriard following the press conference to get the hands on the new watch as well as listen to his demonstration.
Once you learn Perriard's past work, if you're familiar with his passion and also design decisions. Futurism along with "being different" are exactly what motivates him. He talks at a breakneck pace whenever explaining the watch in France, and shows the same understanding and passion when showing their toys in English. The actual H1 is a very cool in addition to unnecessary watch - the precise secret to success within the watch industry. I very first reported on the HYT H1 here when it was launched towards the world. *****
Once I got our hands on it, the H1 was pretty much what I anticipated it to be, which is great. A bold, futuristic style that's large on the hand, but still wearable. The case is actually 48. 8mm wide as well as 17. 8mm thick. The lugs are dropped, so it's a great fit for most wrists. You will notice the two bellows inside the movement and the ring associated with luminous green liquid utilized to indicate the hours. The particular conceptual execution seems perfect, especially as you adjust the actual hours forward or in reverse, with the green goo relocating quickly around the scale. This basically uses pressure, but since far as I know, not like this has ever been done with the crown - maybe not however on such a small scale.
Typically the ***** we're reviewing is made of ti with a black DLC covering. There's an uncoated ti version, as well as a full 18 carat rose gold and a 18k rose gold colored mixed with black.
As I said, Perriard likes to make high-end playthings. The H1 feels just like that. It feels like some thing a smart kid would mold. It's also something a developed kid would be happy to put on. It takes a lot of technical experience to fully understand what the motion does, but almost anyone can take advantage of the workings of the idea. I think Perriard understands this idea best - if you're likely to have a successful new view brand that sells high-priced items, it needs to be something which wows the average person.
The switch has a retrograde fluid indication for the hours, and a subdial for the minutes - the two are easy to read. There's a subsidiary secs subdial and a practical reserve of power indicator for the manual-winding movements. Perriard flips to the back from the watch and explains exactly how he wanted the activity to be finished and embellished in a relatively classic method - not wanting to alienate the particular core consumer watch fanatic. The playful bellows within the dial are something might never seen on a call before. Such a signature component will surely become a signature for your brand. *****
I, and others, love the design and balance of the H1, as well as the technical innovation. Perriard promises more and more complications later on, so I expect the H1 to be their entry-level product for the next few years. Usually a brandname like this starts with a super-high flagship model, but for HYT, getting the technology right has become the most important start.
