During the SIAR (Salón Internacional de Alta Relojería held in Mexico from October 1st to 3rd), HAUTLENCE has unveiled the HLRQ 01 watch. This timepiece belongs to HAUTLENCE AVANT-GARDE HLRQ series. The other models from the collection are HLRQ 02 and HLRQ 03.
The HAUTLENCE HLRQ 01 watch has a 44 mm case band, made in circular satin-brushed black DLC-finish grade 2 titanium and featuring 18-carat pink gold horns, bezel, crown and push-button.
HLRQ 02 has a grade 2 titanium case and sapphire dial with blue highlights, while HLRQ 03 features a black DLC titanium case and sapphire dial with orange highlights.
Its in-house designed sapphire dial lends a sense of depth and transparency, while providing an admirable view of the manual-winding mechanical movement with its jumping hours and retrograde minutes (thanks to the famous HAUTLENCE connecting rod system) as well as its date display.
Created in the HAUTLENCE Atelier d’Horlogerie Contemporaine, the HLRQ line is issued in non-limited series characterised by the same degree of excellence displayed through finely executed Côtes de Genève and hand-bevelled finishes.
