  • Catalogue Essay

    - Founded in 2004, Hautlence marries tradition and innovation in contemporary timepieces. This is exemplified in the futuristic HLq 08 Classic, which features an unusual dial with novel jumping hours, retrograde minutes, and an instantaneous date powered by a jewel roller system.

    - Despite its avant-garde design, the HLq08 retains ties to classic watchmaking through its manual winding in-house movement proudly displayed behind the semi-skeletonized cutouts. The retro-modern 44mm titanium case provides an optimal canvas for the architectural dial and glimpse at the mesmerizing mechanics within.

    - Preserved in barely worn condition, this example numbered 25 of a limited edition of 88 pieces encapsulates the Hautlence philosophy. With its blend of high-tech style traditional craft, the HLq 08 is simultaneously a timepiece of the future and homage to watchmaking heritage.
