  • Catalogue Essay

    - Established in Neuchatel in 2004 by Renaud de Retz and Guillaume Tetu, Hautlence was born out of their desire to revolutionize the watchmaking industry with their unique perspective. Drawing from their extensive experience working with esteemed brands such as Longines, TAG Heuer, and Jaeger-LeCoultre, they aimed to leverage their expertise to propel their new brand forward.

    - Hautlence timepieces stand out for their impeccable execution of the jumping hour and retrograde minute display, showcasing the duo's boundless creativity. The HL Ti 01, with its iconic TV-shaped case, is instantly recognizable and possesses a distinct aesthetic. Instead of a fixed aperture displaying the jumping hour on a disk, Hautlence employs a fixed disk with an aperture that jumps to reveal the hour.

    - Upon closer inspection, the movement's rods and bridges work harmoniously to ensure flawless functionality of the retrograde minutes. The semi-skeletonized dial unveils the captivating inner workings of the watch, further showcasing the brand's innovative mechanisms. Hautlence's design prowess shines through as they seamlessly integrate seemingly disparate elements into a cohesive and visually pleasing composition. The honeycomb dial adds to the watch's unconventional yet futuristic appeal.

    - With only 28 pieces made, the current timepiece, numbered 11, is especially collectible due to its rarity and durable titanium case. It is also accompanied by a full set of accessories, further enhancing its desirability.
