  • Catalogue Essay

    The S1 Titanium "TimeForArt 2024" is a one-of-a-kind version of the S1 Titanium collection that will be released in the near future. It is a timepiece that shows that the future is bright at HYT and that more is to come. And since HYT also aligns itself with doing good in the world and wants to wish contemporary art and artists a bright future, HYT created the S1 Titanium "TimeForArt 2024" that is, in a way, a perfect blend of horological and visual art.

    At the heart of the HYT “masterpiece” lies the caliber 501-CM. The absence of a dial offers a perfect view of an intriguing and revolutionary movement that could be described as functional, kinetic art. The fine sandblasted and brushed finishes and the black coating of the movement are much more contemporary. Futuristic is the correct term to describe the two bellows that expand and contract to show the hours through a black fluid. The open-worked design of the HYT S1 Titanium "TimeForArt 2024" grabs attention with a powerful look, compelling one to discover its many delicate details, making a lasting impression with its technical presence. This latest and unique HYT timepiece is as much an inventive piece of micro-engineering with no equal as it is an eruption of artistic watch design.
