The Neuchatel-based contemporary watch manufacturing company Hautlence just revealed the Vortex, the most recent accessory for the idea d’Exception collection including the brand’s most avant-garde watches developed using the ambition to push the limitations of traditional the watchmaking industry.
The Vortex respects the look codes that made the Hautlence watches easily recognizable: multi-level reading through of your time, transparent surfaces, and squared shapes.
Paid by three patents, the innovative in-house automatic calibre HLR2. is seen all sides because of a titanium situation featuring six three-dimensional azure deposits. How big the timepiece is 52 mm x 50 mm x 17.8 mm for any total weight of 120 grams.
In some manner, the feel of the timepiece keeps altering every hour since the cage from the controlling organ rotates 60 levels every an hour.
Restricted to just 88 pieces, the Vortex shows half-trailing hrs, retrograde minutes along with a energy-reserve indicator inside a gray color plan. The only real dash of color is viewed around the energy reserve indicator, displayed in red-colored. The symbol of the hrs and minutes and also the brand logo design seem to be engraved into the metal.
The bridges from the rotating cage from the calibre were remodeled with tense lines and angular shapes to produce a nice contrast using the roundness and refinement from the mechanical aspects of the controlling organ.
The inclined ring is baked into the bridges from the cage in order to provide an obvious look at the controlling organ because it rotates.
The very first from the three patents relates towards the 12-link chain from the half-trailing hrs, which easily turns in three or four seconds every an hour to show the hour. The graceful transition is within this situation superior to an immediate system to be able to permit the individual to completely benefit from the change.
The 2nd patent pertains to the controlling organ built-into the mobile bridge-type movement as the third patent concerns the whole process of the movement’s two barrels. The primary barrel is wound through the automatic-winding system from the movement and continuously transfers the required energy to wind another barrel that’s devoted solely towards the hour display change so staying away from any effect on the truth from the watch.
The Hautlence Vortex is shipped with three straps: a black Louisiana alligator leather strap with large square scales, a black hornback crocodile leather strap with red-colored stitching along with a black rubber strap, each outfitted having a folding clasp in grade 2 titanium having a palladium plate. The 3 straps could be interchanged having a screwdriver that’s incorporated within the box.
Available beginning this September, the Hautlence Vortex includes a cost of Swiss Francs 160,000.
