The new HYT Conical Tourbillon – a mechanical fluidic watch fitted with a conical tourbillon – is the creation of master watchmaker Eric Coudray, who was inspired by the unique inclined balance tourbillon developed by Walter Prendel in 1928 in order to improve the stability and performance of the tourbillon. It is both animated and sensual thanks to the dual movement effect created by the retrograde fluid hour markers and the turning of the conical tourbillon with its dynamic movements. HYT has two dedicated qualified watchmakers working solely on this technical marvel. The entire mechanism, made up of HYT’s proprietary fluid module, here with a green liquid, and the conical tourbillon in its modernist cage, sits beneath a dome of sapphire crystal that encloses a 48 mm case made of hydrocarbon and titanium.
