HYT H2O with fluidic indication (Live Photos, Specs & Price)
Two limited editions of the HYT H2O – one in a black DLC-coated case with bright green fluid, the other in a silver case with blue fluid – were unveiled during the 2018 SIHH watch salon. Exposed under a large sapphire crystal dome, the H2O models – an evolution of the HYT H2 – reveal the flow of time from every possible angle. With its original fluidic indication for the hours – which undergoes a fascinating retrograde phase – and a jumping minute hand, the novelty here is the refreshing design of the H2O. The dial, which has undergone a significant decluttering session, and the integrated strap conspire to make the watch more attractive, more streamlined and eminently wearable.When time became liquid--In just eight years, HYT has come a long way with its unconventional concept of fusing hydromechanics with horology. Firstly, for having won over sceptics that liquid could be introduced inside a mechanical watch without damaging the movement (usually
Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 5524R (Specs & price)
Let’s be honest… The Patek Philippe?Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 5524G (the white gold version) was a hot topic of discussion when launched at Baselworld 2015. Whatever the intrinsic qualities of this watch, it has been misunderstood. Too early, too radical, too different maybe. 3 years have passed now and there’s a new version in the collection, now in rose gold with a warm brown dial, under the ref. 5524R. With this new combination of colours, we think it’s time for the reconciliation. Let’s have a closer look at the now very-Patekish Rose gold Calatrava Pilot.This new rose gold version of the 5524 is nothing more than a change of colours – for both the case and the dial – and the men’s version of a pair of watches introduced coincidentally at Baselworld 2018. Indeed, not only Patek has updated the men’s model but a ladies’ version has also been added to the collection, the?Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 7234R Lady and its 37.5m

Introducing: The SpaceOne Tellurium now in black or blue titanium cases
Young collaborative project/brand SpaceOne continues its exploration of watchmaking through a parallel galaxy… Last year, the bold and modern SpaceOne Jumping Hour emerged from the visionary mind of Theo Auffret, a Parisian independent watchmaker crafting intricate timepieces like the Tourbillon Grand Sport?and Guillaume Laidet, the man spearheading the revival of Nivada, Excelsior Park and Vulcain. The second step was even more unusual and was a neo-futuristic, audacious sci-fi watch with a rare complication, a wrist-sized Tellurium. It’s now back in two new and even more coherent versions, with black or blue titanium cases for the SpaceOne Tellurium.?A futuristic take on watchmaking, SpaceOne started with a spacecraft-shaped jumping hour watch imagined by Paris-based independent watchmaker Theo Auffret and young entrepreneur Guillaume Laidet, behind the return of Nivada Grenchen and Excelsior Park. The idea behind SpaceOne was to create “the first watchmaking worksh
