Horology maverick HYT is back in action

KTS (Kairos Technology Switzerland SA) announced that it has taken over the reins of HYT, acquired all of its assets and has appointed David Cerrato as CEO. This veteran of the watchmaking industry, with a track record of success with brands such as Panerai, Tudor and Montblanc/Minerva, has accepted this new challenge. A revival and long-term development of the brand are thus assured by a Swiss company. In 2012, HYT created a buzz with its hybrid mechanical-fluidic technology allowing the time to be displayed using fluids, driven by a manufactured mechanical movement. HYT’s activities resumed in September to present the brand’s new identity and a new watch expression, scheduled for launch in January 2022.
