IO 42 mm Power Reserve - Hysek
1 minute read
The brand reinvents one of its classics, the IO 42 mm Power Reserve.

The new IO 42 mm embodies Hysek’s take on classical watchmaking. The IO collection comprises round, classical-style pieces, featuring traditional watchmaking’s most emblematic complications: date, moon phase, and chronograph. The new IO 42 mm model is the only one including a power reserve. This new piece now has a more contemporary feel thanks to an electric blue livery.

The sun-brushed dial has polished rhodium-plated hands and appliques that reflect the light. To make it very readable, its date display at 12 o’clock features large windows. Hours and dates are set using a single crown at 3 o’clock, enhanced with a black disc bearing a raised “H” for Hysek.

The power reserve is situated at 6 o’clock. The hand displays with a semi-circular movement the watch’s remaining power reserve over 42 hours. The 42 mm steel case showing a blend of satin and polished parts, compounds one of the brand’s hallmarks, the signature lugs, along with the distinctive presence of only the 1, 5, 7 and 11 Arabic numeral applique hour markers.

The watch is powered by an automatic movement with 22 jewels. Developed in line with traditional watchmaking style codes, including a Côtes de Genève finish and blued screws, this model benefits from a high-frequency caliber of 28’800 vibrations per hour. The new IO 42 mm Power Reserve sports a leather strap. It is available from autumn 2016.
