Founded in 2012 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, HYT—an acronym for Hydro Mechanical Horologists—revived the ancient concept of the clepsydra, or water clock, for the modern era. The brand is defined by its radical, patented “mecafluidic” technology that displays time using liquid. In place of traditional hands, a mechanical movement powers a pair of bellows, which push two immiscible liquids through a thin capillary tube encircling the dial; the meeting point of the liquids indicates the hour, creating a visual representation of time’s flow. This fusion of high-tech fluid dynamics and traditional watchmaking results in avant-garde, sculptural timepieces that are often skeletonized to reveal their complex inner workings.
