Presenting the HYT H4 Neo with led light

Innovation within tradition, the DNA of haute horlogerie, the movement heritage, and so on: forget it all. Need a known quantity to hang on to? Good news: the HYT H4 Neo tells the time like no other.

HYT H4 Neo

HYT H4 Neo

The H4 Neo is a piece equipped with a special light source which can be found under the dome. Sitting right at 6 o’clock there are two concealed purple LED light sources to be found. Once activated they flood the entire dial with light, especially at night. In low light conditions the fluorescent colored fluid and the transparent composite dial, loaded with fluorescent nano particles, are energized by this light source in the best way. Hence becoming supremely striking. At the same time, the wash of light flows into every nook and cranny of the mechanisms. This literally brings the skeleton architecture to life meanwhile defying the laws of replica watchmaking.

No battery and no electronics are needed for this fully mechanical process. Three factors made it so tricky to develop: the extreme miniaturization, the curved shape, and the fact, once again, that no development of this type had ever been achieved before.
