HYT unveils a diamond-studded conical tourbillon

HYT’s spectacular ‘Conical Tourbillon Infinity Diamonds’ boasts 533 components and 575 diamonds. At the heart of its dial, the fluid hour display and romantic dance of the conical tourbillon come alive, adorned with three 64-facet round brilliant-cut diamonds. The dial gleams with 400 snow-set diamonds, while the upper case is adorned with an additional 175 snow-set diamonds. Over three months of meticulous handwork, employing traditional methods, were required to set the 575 diamonds in approximately ten different sizes. Every detail, from the refined finishings of the 701 TC calibre to the intricately set snow diamonds, makes this piece stunning. The conical tourbillon is elevated, with its spiral balance inclined at 30 degrees, escape wheel offset at 15 degrees, and anchor at 23 degrees, and is housed in a 48mm bicolour case in 5N gold and black DLC-coated titanium. Topped by a domed, glare-proofed sapphire crystal treated with multiple layers of an anti-reflective coating on both sides, the timepiece is a one-off, unique piece.
