After more than two decades of meticulous work, Patek Philippe fake launches a new collection: modern masterpieces
Synonymous with luxury, precision and timeless craftsmanship, Patek Philippe has once again taken the watch world by storm with the launch of its latest collection. This new collection is the brand’s first major collection in over 20 years and is one of the most anticipated events in recent watch history. Patek Philippe leads the way with three stunning models that redefine contemporary luxury while staying true to its tradition of watchmaking excellence.
Let’s take a closer look at these three gorgeous timepieces:
Patek Philippe 5821/1A-001: Stainless Steel with Green Dial The first standout piece in the collection is the 5821/1A-001, a stunning piece made of stainless steel.

Patek Philippe 5821/1AR: Blue dial with rose gold and steel case Next in the collection is the sophisticated 5821/1AR, a watch that combines the luxury of rose gold with the versatility of steel. Its blue dial contrasts with the two-tone case and bracelet, creating a striking and elegant aesthetic. Featuring only time and date functions, the 5821/1AR continues the collection’s minimalist theme, while the combination of precious metals and a rich blue dial ensures this watch is both luxurious and sporty.
The 5821/1AR is a versatile watch perfect for those who appreciate both high-end materials and practical, everyday wear.
Patek Philippe 5822P: Platinum with a blue dial and complications The real highlight of the collection is the 5822P, crafted in platinum with a deep blue dial.

Paired with a luxurious leather strap, the 5822P exudes classic elegance while retaining the collection’s modern design. best replica watches
Interestingly, the 5822P was leaked by Fortune magazine earlier this week, sparking excitement and speculation among collectors and enthusiasts. Now, with its official debut, it’s clear that the 5822P will become one of the most sought-after models in the collection, combining sophisticated complications with unrivaled craftsmanship.
A legend reborn More than two decades later, Patek Philippe’s new collection marks the rebirth of its innovative spirit. From the simple elegance of the 5821/1A-001 to the refined luxury of the 5821/1AR to the technical sophistication of the 5822P, each one demonstrates the brand’s commitment to creating timepieces that transcend ever-changing trends.
This collection reminds us why Patek Philippe continues to occupy the pinnacle of watchmaking, blending tradition, innovation, and artistry to create pieces that collectors will treasure for generations. replica U-Boat Flightdeck Watches
Since the early days of the modern renaissance, Ulysse Nardin fake has been an innovator in the field of complicated luxury watches. Thanks to the vision of watchmaker Ludwig Oechslin, the Ulysse Nardin GMT +/- Perpetual continues that tradition.
There’s a lot going on here. The perpetual calendar is very complete (day, date, month, year, decade), but it’s also the most user-friendly perpetual calendar on the market. Ulysse Nardin designed this system with travel, convenience, and accidental setting errors in mind.
For example, most perpetual calendars can’t be adjusted backwards. This is a serious problem for travelers who may be traveling to a time zone that’s one day behind their departure point. Additionally, setting errors are common when new buyers try to adjust a perpetual calendar, and the cost of setting a watch too far in advance can be the cost of a vacation to Switzerland… for this fake luxury watches.
Ulysse Nardin’s GMT +/- Perpetual eliminates this pitfall with elegant engineering, allowing the calendar to be set back using the crown and pushers. It’s intuitive and foolproof.
As a GMT and dual time zone watch, this Ulysse Nardin has the same practicality as any watch with an independently adjustable 24-hour hand. Keep track of distant contacts and avoid making calls at awkward times of day. high quality fake watches
The 42mm Ulysse Nardin 18-karat white gold case is carefully designed with stepped lugs, a distinctive concave bezel and flared case sides, making this watch look like a 43 or 44mm on the wrist. The classic combination of white metal and black dial makes it particularly eye-catching.
Inside the watch is a chronometer-certified ETA base movement paired with Ulysse Nardin’s industry-leading perpetual module, forming the Caliber UN 32 movement. Its circular Geneva waves and engraved gold winding rotor can be admired through the sapphire caseback. fake watches for sale
The real “Avengers” must be all-powerful in the sea, land and air Breitling made a big move last year. Since the beginning of 2023, it has been busy replacing its iconic series, TOP TIME replica watches, with a “new engine”. This upgrade has naturally been recognized by many watch friends. In November of the end of the year, the brand once again updated the Avenger series of watches, which also included a complete replacement of the timing style with the B01 movement. It can be said that both the appearance design and the internal performance have been greatly improved. Let’s give a detailed introduction to the new Avengers timed night mission version.
For Breitling, brand development is inseparable from its origins in aviation. In the 1930s, Willy Breitling, the third generation heir to the brand, founded the Huit aviation department specifically to create precision airborne timing instruments and pilot chronographs. Since then, Navitimer aviation chronograph watches, AVI Co-Pilot watches, Chronomat mechanical chronographs and other representative aviation watches have been released one after another. replica u boat chimera watch
But when it comes to the Avengers series watches, we actually have to compare them with the Navitimer aviation chronograph prototypes that came out in the 1950s, including the Chronomat mechanical chronograph in the 1980s. The Avengers was born much later. It was only released in 2001, and its history is not that long. , is also a young product in the Breitling series of watches. But also because large watches were popular in the early millennium, and the Avenger was specially built for fighter pilots. With its stable and excellent performance, it can adapt to the harsh environment of the cockpit. The positioning of the watch includes, to a certain extent, It also borrows part of the design from mechanical timing, which makes it very popular among watch lovers.
I have always believed that although the Avengers is positioned in the sky matrix of the brand, it is just like a mechanical timepiece. It is an all-round watch for sea, land and air. Needless to say, the air and sky attributes of the watch are natural, while the ocean attributes are Refers to the 300-meter waterproof performance of professional diving watches possessed by the watch. On land, as a chronograph, although it does not have a speedometer circle scale specially designed for land racing like a mechanical chronograph, the tough military tactical style of the watch and the excellent movement quality also make it more attractive. It’s outstanding enough.
The first adjustment Breitling fake made for the new Avenger series chronograph was to reduce the size to 44 mm. Although it is still too large, the good thing about 44 mm is that it can compromise and basically retain the watch. The original tough style is also more comfortable to wear compared to the 45mm and 48mm models of the original Avengers.
Breitling currently offers a variety of options for new works, such as stainless steel cases covering 44mm chronographs, 44mm GMT automatic mechanical watches and 42mm automatic mechanical watches. The yellow dial and carbon fiber dial chronograph styles in the picture are the night mission special edition with a 44mm ceramic case.
The original Breitling Avengers night mission used black-plated fine steel on the case to make an all-black case. Although the blackening in the shape is tough enough, it also has a strong military style. But judging from the high-end feel and overall texture displayed by the actual ceramic watch case, it is indeed unmatched by black-plated stainless steel. Moreover, the ceramic watch is scratch-resistant, so there is no need to worry about scratches caused by daily use. It can be seen that Breitling has also put a lot of effort into the modification of ceramic watches. A large number of brushing modifications have been made on the front and sides of the case, and the deep brushing effect is very sharp.
At the same time, the changes in the overall design of the new Avengers are mainly focused on the refinement and adjustment of details, such as replacing the timing button with a tougher rectangular design, replacing the original round timing button. This modification also directly makes The watch has a more rough tactical style visual effect. The bottom, crown, timing buttons and buckle of the watch are also made of titanium, forming an innovative material combination with the ceramic case.
The ceramic bezel also retains the “horse-stud” design. This design is inherited from the mechanical chronograph watch. The design of four obvious raised scale blocks is to protect the watch mirror. If the watch is dropped to the ground, Or if it collides with a hard object, the first contact may be the raised scale instead of the watch crystal. The ceramic bezel is also decorated with a sandblasting effect, and the saddle nails are finely brushed like the case.
The dials of the new B01 version of Avengers all use horizontal three-eye sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, which is also significantly different from the old vertical three-eye sub-dials of 6, 9, and 12 in the previous 13 and 24 movements. Differentiation.
The new Avengers also has several new options in terms of disk options, such as new green surfaces, desert color disks, and carbon fiber disks. I personally prefer the desert color version of the steel model. The color of the dial makes Breitling play like the desert coating of tactical equipment and firearms. The yellow dial has always been Breitling’s classic color dial choice. This dial color, similar to warning yellow, is very eye-catching and highly recognizable at any time. When the yellow dial is paired with an all-black ceramic case, It also creates a sharper contrast effect, making the watch more dazzling.
The watch pointer scales, including the luminous pearl design on the bezel, are coated with luminous coating, allowing the watch to be read clearly even in dim environments such as aircraft cabins or underwater. The picture above is a real shot of the luminous effect of the watch.
Turn the watch over and you can directly appreciate the operation of the B01 movement through the sapphire case back. B01’s performance is certified by the Swiss Observatory COSC with an error of -4/+6 seconds. The classic combination of column wheel and vertical clutch also makes the watch’s timing function better in terms of button feel and stability. More excellent. The watch can also provide a 70-hour power reserve when fully wound. I think the B01 movement can indeed be described as all-round and has no shortcomings. It is inevitable that the watch is only thicker. However, in fact, the new version of the B01 movement Avenger is better than the old model. It is 1.26 mm thinner, and the overall thickness is 15.2 mm. Although it is still thicker, for a sports watch, I think it can be a little thinner.
Breitling provides two strap options for this new work, one is a black tactical-style leather strap, and the other is a Breitling yellow leather strap that matches the color of the dial, allowing the wearer to choose according to their personal preferences and wearing needs. Make your selection.
This is the end of introducing this new B01 ceramic version of Avengers to you. With its all-round performance on land, sea and air, I think it is definitely worthy of the name “Avenger”. Also combined with the official price of the watch is 66,200 yuan. Compared with watches of the same level, we can hardly find similar products. , this upgraded combination of ceramic shell and self-produced timing movement has a price-performance ratio that is enough to make it stand out from the crowd. In addition, after the 44mm is changed to a smaller size, at least the watch friends who originally didn’t want to try it after looking at 45mm or 48mm are no longer afraid, but have the idea of trying it. These factors are all making people There is no way to ignore the excellence of the new B01 caliber Avenger. replica automatic watches
However, it is a pity that the polished surface of Avengers B01 is still a large-area brushed and sandblasted version, and it does not use modifications like mechanical timing. I have talked to you before, if the movement finish of TOP TIME is kept at the same level as the mechanical timing, watch lovers will be more satisfied, and the new B01 Avenger is no exception.
Breitling best launched a new series of mechanical chronograph watches in 2020. The new generation of mechanical chronograph CHRONOMAT has been very popular since it was launched. I also talked about the regular version of the chronograph style with you in depth. There are two reasons why I like it. One is that the diameter of the watch has been reduced back to 42 mm, and it has returned to the regular watch. Compared with the old model, it is more refined and coordinated, but it does not lose the essence of the tough design of the old model. Another point is that Breitling provides a variety of colorful color plates to choose from, such as green plate, salmon, and ice blue, which are popular colors on the market. Make the most of it. However, because of the thickness of the chronograph model, many watch friends are a little hesitant, so today we will introduce a more suitable dual-time model with real photos.
Mechanical chronograph Chronomat, at the end of last year, launched the mechanical chronograph dual time zone automatic mechanical watch 40 and the super mechanical chronograph automatic mechanical watch 38, which further enriched the product line with rich functions and various design sizes, combined with the previous 42 mm and The 44mm chronograph model, the four-year calendar model, including the 32mm three-needle model, the current mechanical chronograph can adapt to more wearing needs and give more optional space to consumer groups.
The stainless steel case has a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 11.77 mm, which belongs to the gold size range of modern men’s watches. The weight of the whole watch is 153 grams. In the treatment of the case of the watch, a large area of brushing is combined with polishing of the details of the edges and corners, and multiple decorations are alternated, which enhances the luxury attribute of the watch.
The onion-shaped crown on the other side adopts a screw-in design, and the overall waterproof performance reaches 200 meters. , allowing the watch to be in an underwater environment, reducing the possibility of accidentally opening the crown due to bumping and friction.
Mechanical timekeeping has always had two iconic designs. This 40mm dual-time work also inherits these classic elements. We can see its rotating bezel with four raised digital scale metal blocks. In order to protect the watch mirror, its function is that if the watch is accidentally dropped on the ground, the metal block will touch the hard object first, not the watch glass. However, I have seen watch friends express doubts before. The three-hand model and the two-time clock have no timing function. Simple timing, such as underwater diving timing function.
The green color on the dial makes Breitling make it very well. The real effect is deep, and the sun pattern and brushed treatment are rich in details, and the dial surface will change with the light. In fact, the green color of Breitling makes everyone think of the British racing green related to the former partner Bentley, but it is a pity that the cooperation between the two has ended, but this does not prevent Breitling from continuing to use green. Perfectly compatible with elegant and sporty disc colors, it enhances the overall aesthetics of the watch. Breitling also offers a variety of color dials including black, blue, anthracite gray and white to choose from.
There is a large calendar window with black letters on a white background at 6 o’clock on the dial. There is a 24-hour indicator on the outer edge of the dial. It is used with the red GMT pointer in the middle to indicate the second time zone. The two gears of the crown can be quickly adjusted, which is very convenient, but the crown The two-time adjustment logic is a little different from that of conventional GMT watches. The first gear of the crown is to turn the red 24-hour GMT pointer clockwise to quickly adjust the calendar counterclockwise, and the second gear is to stop the seconds to adjust the time. When your plane lands and needs to adjust the watch, first adjust the home time in the second time zone, and then adjust the main time zone where you are located. There will be a situation where the watch stops and needs to be re-adjusted. fashion replica watches
In terms of movement, the watch uses a Breitling 32 movement, which is improved from the ETA 2893-2 movement, which is a very stable unified core with GMT function. As for the watch sticker, he mentioned the feedback from the actual use of the movement, which is reliable. The full chain of the movement can provide 42 hours of dynamic storage.
Another iconic feature of the mechanical chronograph series is its integrated roller stainless steel bracelet, which is often referred to as a bullet chain by watch friends. The section design fits the wrist better.
Mechanical chronograph dual time zone automatic mechanical watch 40, its dual time zone function combined with gold size, the design purpose of this watch is too obvious, but it is for you to go out, and it can be worn comfortably when you go out, and because of the outstanding design Sexuality, this kind of sports watch shape compatible with some luxury attributes, makes it a watch that can be used in one watch, versatile and suitable for any occasion, and only one piece of it is enough to go out. I also saw some watch friends before, and they selected Breitling as the most wearable watch in recent years. I also agree with it after wearing it. It provides a comfortable wearing feel, so even if its GMT function adjustment logic is different, it does not affect my opinion that it is an excellent choice for commuting between two places.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Royal Oak Offshore was the catalyst for a new trend in big, cool sports watches
Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Offshore When it came out in 1993, the Royal Oak Offshore was oversized, sporty, durable yet refined, and at the time not fully understood by people. Watch enthusiasts thought it was a monster, calling it “The Beast”. Even the famous designer of the Royal Oak, Gérald Genta, called it the “Walrus”. But it was the 1990s, an era of big and bold, and the model found its tribe among a new generation of young consumers who loved a standout aesthetic.
Pop Culture For those too young to remember the 1990s, it was an explosive time in pop culture. As advances in digital recording equipment allowed artists to create music in entirely new ways, the music world witnessed a period of creative and inspiring new sounds, including new genres such as alternative music, ska punk, rap and hip-hop. Hip-hop style also found its way into fashion through oversized pants, hoodies, paramilitary boots, and snap caps. Jurassic Park was the most popular movie of 1993, and dinosaur toys are on every kid’s gift list. Auto sales have surged as pickup trucks became the best-selling vehicle in the United States. Essentially, big is cool!
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Dierk Wettengel, Audemars Piguet’s German agent, started the trend by asking the manufacturer for a new trend-setting model for the offshore regattas of the 1990s. Designer Emmanuel Gueit set out on a mission to reinvent the Royal Oak, increasing the case size from 39mm to 42mm, adding thick gaskets, a crown trimmed with colored rubber, and round links and studs.
wrong start The watch was supposed to be released on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak, but its oversized size was not internally approved and its release was postponed until the following year. However, waiting did not temper the response. “The scandal it caused when it was released was matched by its excess,” explains Raphaël Ballestra, Heritage and Archives Manager at Audemars Piguet. “But if the watchmaking world is outraged, young people will embrace it. Despite a rocky start, Offshore was a huge success and was very popular in the 2000s”.
yacht racing From the sponsorship of motor sailing events such as the World Offshore Sailing Championships and the Audemars Piguet Cup, to the support of sailing teams such as the Alinghi America’s Cup and the Ladycat All-Women’s Sailing Team, Royal Oak Offshore has been intimate with yacht competitions for many years. Linked together, it reinforces its sporty character.
celebrity ambassador Royal Oak Offshore is also credited with starting the industry-wide celebrity association trend, starting with famous movie stars, bodybuilders and future California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. A fan of Audemars Piguet, Schwarzenegger visited the Manufacture in Le Brassus in 1997. Two years later, he collaborated with the brand on a limited-edition collection titled Royal Oak Offshore Model Doomsday to celebrate his film of the same name. Over the next few years, the model sparked many productions with the actor limited edition. replica watches online
Since then, many celebrities in sports and entertainment have been linked to Offshore, including musician Jay-Z, basketball stars LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal, and tennis champion Serena Williams.
30th anniversary celebration This year, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the series, the Manufacture launched three new Offshore models – a 43mm Royal Oak Offshore Automatic Chronograph in black ceramic and 18-carat gold, a 42mm Royal Oak Offshore The Onshore Automatic Chronograph in black ceramic with a small Tapisserie dial, and the all-black ceramic Royal Oak Offshore Automatic Flying Tourbillon Chronograph with green accents.
Thirty years is a long time for a timepiece to stay cool, but the Royal Oak Offshore hasn’t looked back since it took off, constantly evolving new movements, materials, designs and finishes. With these new releases, its future seems to have more sails. buy luxury replica watches
I’m not sure about the others, but if I were driving Bugatti’s incredible “La Voiture Noire”, that unique supercar worth over 11 million euros, I doubt I’d be paying too much attention to my wrist. But for those who think custom watches and supercars go hand in hand, allow us to introduce the jaw-dropping Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti “La Montre Noire”.
Considering the ridiculous car I just mentioned and the exclusivity that comes with it, I doubt you’d expect to see something ordinary. For that kind of car, or a watch to match the world’s most expensive supercar, you’d need something outrageous, to say the least. And the name of Jacob & Co. Quickly came to mind.
The brilliant team behind Jacob & Co. is known for their unique timepieces, always trying to create stunning timepieces – the “La Montre Noire” is just the latest addition to their impressive roster.
Do you remember the Bugatti Chiron tourbillon? That watch was inspired by the massive 16-cylinder engine that powered the Bugatti Chiron.
But this new timekeeping wonder is back in the past, and the iconic Type 57 SC Atlantic Coupe cannot be ignored. The only black version disappeared around 1940, when Bugatti decided to hide it with other cars to keep it safe during World War II.
Known as “La Voiture Noire”, chassis number. 57453 has since disappeared and the car is estimated to be worth around $100 million – would you look for it? The one-off Bugatti for 2019 pays homage to the redesigned Chiron, but doesn’t hint at where the original car is. super replica watches
But let’s focus on what’s in front of us right now. Jacob & Co. created a unique piece based on the blacked-out Type 57 SC Atlantic Coupe. Equipped with two three-axis tourbillon regulators and a decimal minute repeater, the new watch exhibits an overall alien aesthetic.
The Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti “La Montre Noire” also features a 57mm 18k black gold case set with 344 baguette-cut black sapphires. The black Cordura strap features a PVD titanium clasp with a black gold buckle and 18 baguette-cut black sapphires, and if you’re lucky enough to get it, it will be worn on your wrist.
Jacob & Co.’s visual luxury continues inside, where “La Montre Noire” benefits from an ultra-complex mechanism composed of 832 tiny components. Since it was inspired by an iconic supercar, the watch also features a chronograph. The stopwatch mechanism actually incorporates a primitive “reference time” indicator.
The dial also has a small opening at 6 o’clock to indicate the reference time in minutes and seconds – which can be set via the crown. Additionally, the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire features an impressive decimal repeater.
Finally, let’s talk about power – that’s usually a common topic when we’re talking about supercars, right? Well, thanks to an ingenious planetary system, the needle points to the full power reserve to the left, then moves to the right as the 48-hour backup power runs out.
By now, you should expect what’s coming next – the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire is a unique piece. But where is that car? jacob & co astronomia replica
The independent watchmaker specializing in fluid displays is back with a first best watch from Cerrato!
If you follow the independent watchmaking scene, you must know the difficulties HYT Watches, the UFO of the watchmaking world, has encountered in making watches with fluid indications. After about a year of dormancy, we can now say it loud and clear: HYT is back in action with a new partner (Kairos Technology Switzerland SA) and new CEO Davide Cerrato to support the business… this The name is sure to ring a bell. And today, the brand presents the first watch of its new era, the HYT Hastroid. We were able to spend some time on the Green Nebula Edition.
HYT – From Concept to Rebirth Behind HYT is a concept, a vision to show time in an unprecedented and decidedly unnatural way. HYT swiss Watches, created in 2012, don’t use traditional hands that revolve around the dial, but a new fluid-based display… Liquid in watches (and magnetism, the worst enemy of mechanical movements)? Yep, that’s the whole idea. While it is true that in all HYT watches there is a rather (relatively) classic mechanical movement used as the driving force and adjustment for the indications, the display relies on an additional module consisting of bellows and capillaries, two of which are not mixed The dissolved fluid travels in a retrograde fashion to indicate the passage of time, and the point where the two fluids meet represents the current time.
Since developing the original concept in 2012, the brand has not only introduced watches with evolutions in movements and fluid mechanisms, but also made some improvements to address some important issues. The main reason is the expansion of the fluid due to temperature changes – keep in mind that the watch is either worn on the wrist or stored, creating temperature changes. To do this, the brand has added a thermal compensator inside one of the bellows.
Following the H1 model presentation, we saw the H2 watch, the rather insane H3 watch, and the slightly simplified H4 watch. A new direction was taken for 2017/18 with a refreshed design in the H0 model. Smoother and simpler. In 2019, the Haoyitong H5 introduced a new movement, again with some important mechanical updates to make the indications more precise and improve legibility. At the end of 2020, however, the brand had to face some difficulties, but since then there has been not only a new shareholder, but also a new CEO Davide Cerrato (ex-Tudor, ex-Montblanc). Since I’ve known this guy for years, I know he’d be a good fit. Passionate about any science fiction, Cerrato is sure to breathe fresh air into the HYT collection.
NEW HYT HASTROID GREEN NEBULA This new watch, the Hastroid, marks the beginning of a new journey for HYT. It is built with a new design concept, a new inspiration and a new case. And, the overall inspiration goes back to the company’s roots, returning to edgy, modern, sharp shapes. HYT Hastroid is designed to resemble a spaceship. It’s big, bright and bold. After all, HYT’s insanely fluid display calls for this kind of boldness.
The case for the new HYT Hastroid, shown in its Green Nebula Edition, is all about architecture and science fiction inspiration. The case is angular, layered, and has a mix of materials. It’s also fairly airy, with a hollowed-out structure. However, this is a statement. It has a diameter of 48mm, a height of 17.90mm and an overall length of 58.30mm. Yes, the watch is big and bold on the wrist. Surprisingly, on Frank’s 18cm wrist (he’s the model for the photo), the watch looks much more comfortable and, dare I say, a little more compact than the numbers suggest.
HYT Hastroid completely redefines the overall design. No more pebble-shaped sapphire crystals. The new watch is more angular, almost square, but the skeletonized lugs add a certain airy feel to the case. The top surface is now flatter and indications are clearly visible. To make the watch slightly less “clunky”, Cerrato created a central container held by a square frame, with the sides of the watch opening to reveal different textures.
Our HYT Hastroid Green Nebula case is made from a combination of brushed, black-coated titanium and carbon fiber, making it less visually striking and lighter on the wrist. As a traditional feature, the crown is located at 2 o’clock and is protected by a module that runs along the side of the case. The multi-layered “sandwich” construction also allows for the clean integration of the rubber strap that connects between the two upper layers of the case – here rendered in green rubber, but also available with green Alcantara inserts black rubber.
The watch face of the Hastroid of Oytime has also received attention. The design has also been redefined here, with the return of the skeletonized textured structure that reveals most of the watch’s mechanical elements. The main plate is hollowed out and covered with a sapphire plate; therefore, both the mechanical part (top) and the fluid part (bellows in the lower part and capillaries around the dial) are fully visible. The movement consists of a black-coated plate with a grid pattern, which is decorated with bold Arabic numerals filled with bright green luminous material.
The main evolution of the HYT Hastroid compared to the brand’s previous watches is the display of the minutes. The pointer is now centered for maximum legibility. It is flanked by two classic indicators, the small seconds and the power reserve. Of course, the raison d’être of the HYT, the fluid indication of the hours, still exists around the dial and acts as a retrograde indication, jumping back to its initial position when the green fluid reaches the 6 o’clock position.
Fluid indication is still powered by the same ideas as before. Two bellows located in the lower part of the movement create a pressure movement on the fluid. The left bellows/piston module pushes the green fluid into the capillary, which over time pushes the clear fluid into the right bellows. The point where the two fluids meet, the two are immiscible, marks the current time. The system requires a highly waterproof mechanism – the entire fluid module is 10,000 times more airtight than a conventional dive watch (at least, according to the brand). The system is thus sealed. Thermal expansion can also be compensated by a clever device integrated into one of the bellows.
Powering our HYT Hastroid Green Nebula is the Calibre HYT 501-CM, a movement that should sound familiar to fans of the brand as it is based on the same technology that renowned watchmaker Eric Coudray developed for the H5 , and then an improved Hassted on launch. In addition to changing from off-centre minutes to central minutes, the movement’s decoration has also been updated, with black-coated bridges and bridges, as well as satin-finished and rhodium-plated moving parts.
The movement still consists of two separate modules connected by levers. On top is a mechanical engine with a frequency of 4Hz and a power reserve of 72 hours. This mechanical module has two functions. First, it stipulates the time to provide precise indications. Second, it is the driving force indicated by the fluid, giving it momentum and providing a constant displacement to act on the motion of the fluid. The connection to the fluid device is through an oversized lever, a curved tentacle spindle or “sensor” for the coordination of the mechanism, and a complex-shaped cam with 13 positions to precisely synchronize the hour and minute indications. This sensor converts the circular motion of the movement’s wheels into linear motion, which pushes the bellows and fluid.
Behind this new design, there is also a new strategy for the brand. Production will be more concentrated, fewer versions will be made, fewer models will be made, and the retailer network will be more condensed, strategies that may increase its desirability. https://www.review4uwatch.com
