Bold, colorful, and captivating, this flamboyant watch will be offered as a unique piece for sale at the Time For Art charity auction in New York. The HYT Hastroid Rainbow Nebula unique piece combines the artistic masterful expertise that guides Davide Cerrato, HYT CEO and creative director, and the feats of the mecafluid technology that are unique to this independent Swiss watchmaking brand.

For lovers and collectors of luxury watches, the rainbow display has always been very attractive. Here, HYT has enhanced the concept using luminescent material to obtain a double rainbow effect: the day, using Super-Luminova, and the night, through unique and spectacular shading reflecting bright emotions.

This luminescent and surprising effect is boosted by the same use in the section behind the capillary with the effect of gradual coverage with the black fluid as time moves ahead and the wow effect of the retrograde fluidic movement

This artistic feat is displayed at the heart of a watch from the HYT Hastroid collection, distinguished by its astonishing black-coated titanium 48 mm case and a thickness of 13.3 mm.

Like a flight deck, the watch, waterproof up to 50 meters, is topped by domed sapphire crystal offering a largely unobstructed view of the overall dial. The centerpiece of the mecafluid mechanism remains, of course, the fluid system, with two central ‘bellow’ reservoirs, whose design, unique to HYT creations, reinforces the character and feeling of power and the capillary surrounding the dial.

The watch is powered by a manual winding mechanical movement the calibre 501 CM with a 72-hour power reserve, designed by Eric Coudray —a highly renowned master in the field, and an artist of watchmaking design.

TimeForArt is a biennial charity auction of extraordinary watches. The organizer, the Swiss Institute, in collaboration with the auction house Phillips, in association with Bacs & Russo, has approached the greatest watchmakers in the world. HYT is especially proud to take part. It should be noted that 100% of profits will go directly to the most visionary artists of today, through exhibitions, public programs, educational workshops, and community engagement by the Swiss Institute, all free of charge, of course, through the funding allowed by the sale.

TimeForArt will be incorporated to the Phillips New York Watch Auction on December 10, 2022.
