HYT H2 Titanium Black DLC In 2012, H1 first appeared, launched Hydro-Mechanical watch, this young and crazy brand called HYT, caused a chaos in the watch industry. Those guys thought of a strange idea, that is to equip their work with the biggest enemy of watches: liquid. We tested this watch and because of the rationality and seriousness of its concept, we fell in love with it. Back in 2013, just one year after their first attempt, HYT brought a more exciting successor in the name of HYT H2 Titanium Black DLC, and we have tested it again.luxury HYT H2 watches
We processed HYT H1 Red2 for a few weeks and gave us some clues about how serious this concept is. When this watch came out, we first felt very excited, but we also felt a little skeptical. How the newly registered brand realizes this complicated idea. Of course, the HYT team consists of watchmakers and talented engineers (and its sister company Preciflex). But even...
However, they did – and they did a great job! The project has been clearly realized. We were very surprised to see that such an idea might be realized in such a short time and on such a serious level. The toy or watch may be locked in the safe. Not at all! It can even be seen as a sturdy sports watch that can be used as a daily beater. Of course, development is not easy. HYT must face several industrialization and reliability issues that have been resolved. What is even more surprising is that the brand launched its second watch so fast, using the same fluid indicator concept, but the movement and display are more complicated. It was 2013 (the year after H1 only), and this is the watch we are reviewing today.Richard Mille RM 62-01 Tourbillon Vibrating Alarm ACJ
HYT H2 brings back the main interest of HYT H1 (the brand's first watch): a streamlined indication of time. Although most watches display time on the time the hands rotate along the central axis-or at least on a disk or satellite-it is still a mechanical module driven by gears, wheels and levers. These monitors can be very complex-please take a look at our other monitors' part-still a mechanical game. Regardless of whether H1T or H2 is used, HYT brings to watchmakers a completely meaningless and even dangerous thing for watches: liquids. In a circular tube located around the dial, liquid flows to indicate the hour. HYT H2 has already appeared in the context of HYT H1, but this concept is further complicated by the cooperation with the well-known APRP manufacturer Audemars-Piguet Renaud & Papi.
HYT H2 shows more features, fluid modules are better integrated, and now directly into the movement, a longer power reserve and amazing levels of detail. The first H1 was made to cause a sensation. H2 was established to build a brand reputation and prove the importance of this concept to others in the industry.
Like HYT H1, the main feature of HYT H2 is the regulator-type display whose capillary is filled with two liquids: fluorescent liquid and translucent liquid. The chronograph indicator is divided into two parts: the hour is displayed in liquid, and the minute is displayed in the center hand-this is new compared to HYT H1, because the minute is not displayed in the classic 12-minute dial. The minute hand is now larger and is located in the center of the watch. It must be read on the sapphire track inside the green tube. However, it is no longer a classic. Between 5:30 and 6:30, it will jump slightly and continue its journey around the dial.replica Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes watches
How does fluid technology work?
The hour display depends on 3 independent elements: a glass tube, 2 liquids and 2 pistons/reservoir. The idea that led to H1/H2 included two flexible reservoirs fixed at both ends of the capillary. One is an aqueous liquid filled with fluorescein (here red), and the other is a transparent viscous liquid. To separate them: the repulsive force of the molecules in each liquid, with a meniscus to mark the boundary between the two. As time goes by, the fluorescent liquid continues to develop. The half-moon-shaped half-moon elbow, along with other fluids in the tube, marks the break point, indicating time. At 18:00, the fluorescent liquid returns to its original position and moves backward.
The two bellows create pressure or depression to move the liquid. Over time, the left piston pushed the fluorescent green liquid into the glass tube, while the right piston expanded. Once it arrives at 18:00, the process will be reversed and the right piston will compress to send the green liquid back to its original position/sump.
The main limitation is to create two liquids that cannot mix with each other even under high or low temperature or various pressure conditions, or when the watch is subjected to shock.replica limited edition watches for sale
APRP's participation is easy to spot. The movement is fully opened, showing incredible depth. All technical elements (gear train, escapement module and piston) are completely exposed. We also found that the typical APRP crown indicator is located at 3, and there is a new value: the temperature indicator at 9:30. Compared with HYT H1, the final improvement is to expand the power reserve. The APRP team is known for its strong grasp of energy and power, and HYT H2 demonstrated an 8-day power reserve.
HYT H2-Titanium black DLC version-is clearly a large watch. Its case is made of lightweight, sturdy titanium and is painted black using carbon coating technology similar to diamonds, with an impressive size of 48.8mm x 17.9mm. Of course, this may be imposed on the paper, but considering its size, the watch is still very easy to tie. The case brings back the same DNA as HYT H1, but it feels a bit clean. It allows you to pay more attention to the dial and instructions. The polished bezel of H1 has been completely removed and replaced by highly curved sapphire crystals spread across the dial. The strap and lugs are completely brushed-I hope there are some polished edges to enhance the design. The crown is still in position 3 and is protected by a large and hollow strap on the side of the case.
Like its predecessor, HYT H2 may be a concept watch and technical demonstration, but it is also a sports watch. HYT H2 has a screw-on back cover and a screw-down crown to make the watch waterproof up to 50 meters. Of course, it will not replace your Tudor Pelagos or Omega Seamaster, we suspect that the owner of HYT H2 will use it as an appropriate tool list. However, the watch feels solid and sturdy. It can be used and abused (a bit). HYT H2 has a black rubber strap with a deployment buckle, which confirms the practicality of this extreme timepiece.
It is also available in multiple versions: black DLC and rose gold with green liquid, platinum with gold liquid, platinum and titanium with red liquid, and titanium metal with gun metal PVD treatment and blue liquid.high quality replica watches
Once, we will not make a separate part of the dial and hands, because both are fully integrated in the movement. The HYT H1 is more classic in method. The movement co-created with Chronode is composed of two modules (classic watch module and fluid module, as well as bellows and tubes), which are connected together by a cam mechanism.
In the context of HYT H2, these two modules are now fully integrated in one movement. Compared to the first manufacturing of HYT, the first change is the position of the piston/bellows, which are now in the V-shape, which reminds us of the Harley Davidson engine. The positioning of the V-shaped bellows optimizes the integration of the interface, which connects the clockwork to the fluid system. The system can be seen at 9 on the dial. It consists of a snail wheel of increasing diameter, which generates pressure on the arm, compressing the left bellows and pushing the liquid into the capillary. Compared with H1, this structure leaves more space, so the minute hand can be placed in the center, and the hairspring is located on the black bridge on the upper part of the dial.
The escapement module is not the only exposed mechanical part, because the gear set and the multiple wheels driving the large minute hand are also completely visible on the front. The dial shows an extraordinary depth and gives HYT H2 a futuristic, industrial and mechanical feel. The all-black finish of the parts is inspired by the classic high-end watch surface treatment: polished bevels and straight lines on steel parts and wheels. Multiple bridges are made of titanium, skeletonized, black DLC coated, and micro-sprayed on the surface.Replica HYT SKULL Watch
The movement also adds two other complications. The first is a crown position indicator with 3 positions (helps to discover APRP cooperation): N for neutral – H for set time – R for winding. The second complication is the temperature indicator. When the watch is full of liquid, high or low temperature will affect the viscosity, which in turn affects the displacement of the liquid.
Compared to the front, the back of the movement looks simpler. It mainly shows two huge barrels, which provide HYT H2 with 8 days (192 hours) of energy. Considering that the barrel must constantly start 2 bellows and one liquid, this result is very impressive. The remaining power can be read by the indicator directly on the left lens barrel. The tighter the main spring (the closer it is to the center), the greater your remaining power. Simple but not very precise.
When you are faced with such a complicated and unusual project, how do you view this watch and how to minimize the required objectivity? Just like being a car reporter in front of the latest Lamborghini or Pagani. Such a sports car or conceptual table is the object of dreams, without reason and rationality.
If it is necessary to add objectivity to the equation, we must admit that HYT H2 is an excellent project, using superb modern clock design, extreme and distinctive appearance, very interesting technical content, and despite these elements It is fully realized and durable in almost any occasion. However, it has the drawbacks of most concept watches, which means that the readability is not as good as classic watches (because the position is unnatural, so you must read the minutes carefully on the track), and it lacks a bit of elegance – not seen on the HYT H2 Platinum Edition s things. However, it is not HYT's goal to compete with the ultra-thin JLC-the brand will not end soon, because the brand recently revealed another crazier watch HYT H3.breitling aviator replica
