HYT H2 Tradition: Futuristic Meets Retro
The “hydromechanical horologists” of indie watch brand HYT were among the first-time exhibitors at this year’s SIHH in Geneva. After making a splash at recent Baselworlds with pioneering timepieces like the H1, H2, and H3, the brand headed by watch-industry veteran Vincent Perriard wowed the SIHH crowd with the new H2 Tradition �� the first HYT to meld cutting-edge technology with horological classicism.The HYT H2 Tradition is the first HYT watch with such classical refinements as guilloch�� finishes, delicately lacquered dials, black Roman numerals for the hours, and blued Breguet-style hands, but it retains the now-familiar HYT hydro-mechanical aesthetic thanks to the capillary around the dial’s periphery, filled with blue fluid that moves forward with the passing of the hours. The liquid is driven by two bellows positioned on either side of the 6 o’clock marker, a system developed for the original H2 watch in 2013. With the fluid in the capillary displayi

Introducing: The Montblanc 4810 ExoTourbillon Slim
This year is a big year for Montblanc and the ExoTourbillon. They have released three watches with the ExoTourbillon movement: the TimeWalker ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph, the 4810 ExoTourbillon Slim 110 Years, and now the ExoTourbillon Slim.

Vacation led me to my first Patek
I was recently on vacation in Maui as part of a work trip. I knew Barron and Leeds on the island carried Patek and since my hotel was 5 minutes away I decided to pay them a visit to look, but had no intention of buying anything. Upon arriving the store was dead and the ladies working were very nice and quick to remove any watch from the case I so much as pointed at. I had always loved the aquanaut and the pushers on the 5164 intrigued me. When I inquired on any aquanauts in the store the woman said they only had the gmt and removed it from a display. I was instantly in love. She let me play with the pushers and try it on. After handing it back to her we chatted more and as I was leaving the store the woman said that they would be more apt to negotiate on the last day of the month, today, than the first. Knowing that I left the store and walked around the shopping center with a friend. My friend, who doesn't care about watches at all, was in love with the 5164 and as we were talking h
