Launched in 2012, the H1 welcomes this year new models. Focus on the H1 Evo Red2
The ingenuity of the H1 is that it indicates the time with a liquid.
Two flexible reservoirs fixed to each end of a capillary. In one was an aqueous liquid filled with fluorescein, and in the other, a transparent viscous liquid. To keep them separate: the repulsive force of the molecules in each liquid, with a meniscus to mark the boundary between the two.
The two reservoirs are located at 06:00. While the first compresses, the second expands, and the other way round, resulting in the movement of the liquid in the capillary. As the hours go by, the fluorescent liquid advances. The meniscus, in the shape of a half moon, marks the breaking point with the other fluid in the tube, indicating the time. At 18:00, the fluorescent liquid comes back to its original position, going backwards. The secret that gets the reservoirs going? Two bellows made of a highly resistant, flexible electro-deposited alloy, each driven by a piston. This hydro system is activated by a mechanical movement.
The H1 Evo Red2 is housed in a case made of titanium with shot-peened and satin-finished surfaces; thr bezel and lugs are
in brushed pink gold (5N).
On the unstructured silver dial, a red fluid indicates the hours. The indexes and numerals are made of pink gold (5N), as well as the minute hand.
The mechanical hand-wound movement is an exclusive HYT calibre featuring 28,800 vph, and 65-hour power reserve. Its bridges are hand-chamfered and adorned with côtes de Genève.
The H1 Evo Red2 is worn on a grey rubber strap, equipped with a titanium pin buckle.
