If diamonds are allegedly forever, how long is forever? The H 0 , like its creator HYT, is born of a
question on the nature of time. This watch invites highly precious stones to flow through its design to
shine light on time’s essential passage. Choosing the inspiration of water droplets and rivers over
orchestrated linear settings, its focus is the beauty of the seamless interplay between the past, present
and future. An almost paradoxical union of a patented micro-fluidic module and mechanical caliber
underlines the fascination of a now characterized by social, technological and geographical fluidity.
Underneath the drop-like sapphire glass of this spectacular H 0 , snow-set diamonds all over the dial
give the impression of water droplets delivered directly by nature. They enchant with their
spontaneous irregularity. As they catch the light, another layer of uniqueness emerges. HYT
understands that time – and therefore life – is constantly in motion. And since nothing is set in stone,
the content of each individual’s existence is unique. The diamonds cascade down the sides of the
case to form rivers circumnavigating it. This too is a reminder of time’s fluidity as coined in the words
of Greek philosopher Heraclitus, “No man ever steps in the same river twice as it’s not the same river
and he’s not the same man”. Engraved numbers around the largely transparent case cast individual
shadows to reinforce the three-dimensional theme.
