GUaRaNTEE In this manual, you can find the basic instructions for using and maintaining your watch. Each HYT watch bears an individual identification number, which guarantees both its authenticity, and that all the work involved in its creation has been supervised by a master watchmaker. Each HYT watch is equipped with a fluidic module1. This device enables the time to be displayed via the meniscus2. The meniscus marks the boundary between the two immiscible fluids in the capillary4.
Precautions for use Your HYT watch is set and ready to be worn. A colored liquid documents the recent past; a transparent fluid indicates the foreseeable future. Their meeting point is a meniscus in the capillary, aka the now. important : If you plan to not wear the watch for a while, the colored liquid has to be stored in its own reservoir (on the left bellow). To do this, pull the crown out to position C (time setting). Allow the colored liquid to move into “Zone II” until it starts rewinding.

glossary 1. Fluidic module: To create a liquid time indicator that is compact, and wearable, HYT has developed a completely new high-tech concept, using two flexible bellows at each end of a capillary tube. The system is sealed in accordance with the most stringent standards used in the aerospace industry, with each bellow containing immiscible liquids. The exclusive patented fluidic module represents this complete system. 2.

Winding Pos B. A B The power reserve indicator is visible on the case back of the H20 INTRODUCTION This function ensures that the power required to drive your watch is stored by the movement. HOW TO USE • Pull out the crown from “A” to “B” before changing the watch settings • Wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise “B” • Afterwards, push the crown back in against the case “A”.

setting the time Pos C. Turning the crown for 1 second represents one crown rotation, equivalent to a time shift of 20 minutes. C INTRODUCTION This function allows the time shown on your watch to be set using the crown. IMPORTANT • The microfluids in the capillary are moved via the smooth turning of the crown. • We recommend moving the fluid by a 20-minute interval per crown manipulation. • This means it should take three manipulations of 1 second to move the fluid a distance equivalent to 1 hour.
setting the time counter clockWise It is possible to set your watch counter clockwise. Warning: counter clockwise movement of the crown must be stopped when the colored liquid reaches “Zone I”. Zone I IMPORTANT NOTICE A spring is loaded to activate the jumping section of the minute hand when it reaches “30”. When setting the time counter clockwise, the minute hand must go back up to the minute “50” in order to load the spring.

PoWer reserve indicator Empty Full INTRODUCTION The power reserve indicator function provides a real-time display of your watch’s power, thereby indicating how long it will continue to run without the spring being rewound. To observe this indication, you have to turn the watch over. HOW TO USE The two barrels use two different signals: “lOw”, located on the left barrel, and “hIgh” on the right barrel (see the image above).
thermal indicator <15°C >15°C INTRODUCTION This thermal indicator shows if the watch is in its optimal temperature range to be handled. When the hand points to the area, the temperature of the watch is less than 15°C. In this case, we recommended that handling of your watch is avoided - particularly any rewind movement. When the hand points to the area, the temperature of the watch is higher than 15°C. The watch can be handled with care (see SETTING THE TIME).
croWn Position indicator (h-n-r) Neutral position (P. 8) Time setting position (P. 10) Winding position “Remontage” (P. 9) INTRODUCTION The crown-position hand (H-N-R) lets you know whether you are in time setting mode (H), power reserve winding mode (R) or in the centre (N), when the crown is in its original position.
