Designer
In-house design studio
The reference was drawn by the manufacture's internal design office, where case, dial and movement architects work alongside the watchmakers rather than as an outside commission.
Historical significance
HYT H0 36 mm Black 18k sits within HYT's H0 line, introduced in 2012. It carries the house codes established since 2012 — 18k yellow gold case, black lacquer dial and in-house tourbillon, manual-winding — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
- The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.

Brand history
HYT has spent more than 14 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's H0, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Vincent Perriard & Patrick Berdoz established HYT in 2012, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every HYT calibre produced today.
