Not your typical skeleton watch, HYT is no ordinary timepiece. HYT's hydromechanical horologists deftly blend mechanics and liquid within a wristwatch, wherein liquid that runs through a capillary powered by bellows indicates the time. On the HYT H4 Nero, the hours are indicated via a traditional hand at 12 o'clock, but to read the minutes, one must push a button and watch the liquid (green in this version) move around the rim of the dial to indicate the time. Additionally, H4 Nero is equipped with a light source under the dome: two purple LEDs that, when activated, fl ood the dial with fl uorescent light. The fully mechanical watch has no batteries or electronics for this fl ood of light. The watch is open-worked to show the two multi-layer bellows that push the fl uid through the capillaries. Just 15 pieces will be made.
