HYT has launched a new Titanium Blue edition of the Conical Tourbillon watch. This model features a 48mm diameter carbon & black DLC titanium case, black dial, and blue fluidic display of time.
Created by master watchmaker Eric Coudray and released early this year, Conical Tourbillon is a mechanical fluidic watch inspired by the unique inclined balance tourbillon developed by Walter Prendel in 1928.
This masterpiece of contemporary horology houses the 701 TC caliber, a hand-wound mechanical movement beating at a frequency of 21,600 vib/h (3 Hz).
Inspired by the works of German watchmaker Walter Prendel and his inclined balance tourbillon, it comes with a spring-balance inclined at 30 degrees to horizontal, the escape wheel at 15 degrees, and a pallet at 23 degrees.
At the very heart of the dial, where the conical tourbillon completes a clockwise revolution in 30 seconds, there are three spheres filled with blue liquid and rotating at different speeds which are easy to observe: the first completes four turns a minute, the second five turns a minute, and the third six turns a minute, clockwise.
