HYT, the Swiss master of hydromechanical watchmaking, unveils an unprecedented collaboration with Fally Ipupa, a global afro-music icon. From this fortuitous encounter was born the S1 Gold Titanium Limited Edition Fally Ipupa, a rare timepiece produced in only eight pieces worldwide. A true horology enthusiast, Fally Ipupa is not merely the inspiration behind this exceptional watch—he is its very soul. We had the privilege of discovering this exclusive edition where it all began. In Neuchâtel, at the HYT workshops, the welcome reflects the House itself: discreet and refined. It is in this intimate setting that a singular vision comes to life, heir to the first water clocks of Antiquity. HYT remains the only watchmaker to master the art of indicating time through the movement of a liquid—a feat that combines heritage and innovation.
The ultimate expression of avant-garde craftsmanship and a strong artistic vision, this watch embodies the alchemy of precision technology and creative force. Inspired by the singer’s vibrant universe, it stands out with a bold case combining rose gold and black titanium, a refined setting for a revolutionary mechanism. Within an ultra-fine glass capillary, a black fluid traces the passage of time with fluidity, reinterpreting the spirit of ancient water clocks. Two ultra-thin alloy bellows orchestrate its movement with rare reliability. What one observes is not merely a technical feat—it is a new vision of time.
For Vahé Vartzbed, CEO of HYT, this creation embodies the perfect symbiosis of culture and innovation. As for Fally Ipupa, he sees it as a unique exploration of time a natural extension of his creativity. Featuring an interchangeable strap system and a sporty yet elegant design, this limited edition is aimed at discerning collectors and lovers of distinctive style, seeking a rare piece that enhances the wrist while embodying a singular signature.
