HYT CONICAL TOURBILLON marks a decade of pioneering watchmaking with an innovative tourbillon The Neuchâtel company's recently launched HYT Cone Tourbillon watch fulfills its ten-year commitment to bring high-end watchmaking into the future with its fascinating technical design. The result of a collaboration between science and skilled watchmakers, this watch is equipped with a conical tourbillon that increases the stability and performance of the timepiece. Master watchmaker Eric Coudray drew inspiration from Walter Prendel's tilting balance tourbillon in 1928 to create this unique watch. The HYT Conical Tourbillon is a visually captivating and technically impressive timepiece that showcases the Swiss brand's exclusive mechanical fluid technology and its extraordinary watchmaking vision.

What is the HYT Conical Tourbillon watch and what makes it unique?

The HYT Conical Tourbillon is a contemporary timepiece designed by HYT, an independent Swiss watchmaking brand that has been pushing the boundaries of high-end modern watchmaking for over 10 years. It is the most successful watch designed by HYT and represents the brand's unique approach to watchmaking.

Thanks to the retrograde fluid hour markers and the dynamic rotation of the conical tourbillon, this watch is both lively and sensual. This watch shows a return to the creative source of the brand, fully reflecting its unique personality. Modern and refined, this timepiece combines the finest work of artisans in Swiss watchmaking.

The front and back of the watch feature scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for protection and durability. The Laco 2S automatic movement is based on the Miyota 82S0 and is clearly visible through the transparent crystal case back. A stop-seconds function ensures precise time setting. Laco offers the option to upgrade to the Laco 31 movement (base: Miyota 8315) for all models in this series, with a power reserve of over 60 hours and thermo-blued screws.

The watch uses a hand-wound mechanical movement beating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and a suspended tourbillon movement with a sprung balance inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal, an escape wheel inclined at 15 degrees, and an escapement wheel. The longitudinal fork is at 23 degrees. The suspended tourbillon movement is a bold technical achievement, directly inspired by the work of German watchmaker Walter Prendel and his inclined balance tourbillon.

The Conical Tourbillon is a correction and reinterpretation of the Prendel Slanted Tourbillon. Master watchmaker Eric Coudray, who was familiar with the complex works of Walter Prendel, decided to continue this work on improving the tourbillon, based on this inclined tourbillon.
