HYT Watch Teaser - Who Are The Hydro Mechanical Horologists?
New high-end watch brand HYT is coming in 2012. I don't much except that the watch(es) will somehow incorporate liquid - green, possibly luminescent, liquid. One of the brand's principles is Vincent Perriard. Formerly CEO of Concord and then TechnoMarine. Perriard has been working quietly on HYT for a while now. In my opinion Perriard thrives when two things are in order. First, that he has a lot of creative freedom (I still think that TechnoMarine should have run his "Ocean Addict" ad campaign), and second, when he is able to work on a product that isn't limited by too many budget constraints.So who or what are the Hydro Mechanical Horologists? The world will find out soon, and I will keep you updated. For the time being enjoy the fun teaser video. Oh, and now I have been able to add an image of the watch caseback.UPDATE: I have now updated this article on HYT watches with images of the watch movement and information on what it does.

Uniform Wares 150 Series

What makes the Uniformwares line so intriguing, is that they are one of the few brands on the market that mixes a passion for watches with the aesthetic and restraint of experienced industrial designers.With designs that hearken to the philosophies of Dieter Rams and Max Bill/the Bauhaus, but an eye towards contemporary fashion, Uniformwares successfully reinvented, or perhaps reintroduced, classic design into the watch market. ?Furthermore, save the movements, every piece of these watches are designed from the ground up, which is extremely rare for a small company.So, I was extremely excited to see this morning that they had released a new line of watches: the 150 series.

5990-1a or 5960-1a
Just picked up the 5980-1r but already thinking of other moves...(still need to move the skyD as part of the 5980-1r transaction as promised to the wife). Now thinking whether to swap the 44mm RG ROO and jumbo for a 5990-1a or 5960-1a. The only concern is 5990-1a may be too similar to 5980-1r but 5990-1a would allow me to wear to work as I usually do not wear gold to work. Seeking expert advice from all the great members of TRF.

Why so few 15300 for sale?
So I did a search in the for sale section and found that in 2012 (so far) only two 15300 have been offered for sale vs six in 2011.So what gives? Why are there so few 15300 being flipped?Are there not many of them out there? not popular or are they simply so popular that people make them a permanent part of their collection?
