HYT H3 is a very unusual hydromechanical wristwatch worth $290,000.
The HYT H3 hydromechanical clock uses liquid to display the time.
The market for mechanical wristwatches is quite conservative. Yes, of course, some well-known Swiss watchmakers have started to look towards the smartwatch segment, but that's not the point. The bottom line is that almost all mechanical watches do not differ from each other in their design. The number of stones increases, the accuracy changes, the appearance changes, the materials of the case, but the essence remains the same — the clockwork mechanism moves the gears, and those in turn set the arrows in motion. There are very few models that would be radically different from the usual watches.

HYT company produces just such. Its assortment already includes several models of hydromechanical wristwatches. Now it has been replenished with a novelty — H3.
The essence of the company's developments is that the basis of the watch is a tiny hydraulic mechanism with two pumps and two types of liquid. One is transparent and the other is colored. Liquids fill a glass tube about 1 mm thick. By changing the pressure, the mechanism changes the level of liquids in the tube, which, together with the dial, indicates the current time. However, it is easier to understand this from the videos of previous models.
The new model uses the same principle. The difference is that the watch case is rectangular in shape, and the tube is not curved. The time is displayed not only by the liquid level, but also by moving cubes with numbers. A more classical hand is responsible for displaying the minutes, although the dial itself is also quite original.
As for the technical side of the issue, the watch is made of titanium with PVD coating and platinum. Of course, sapphire glass is also used here. However, judging by the wording on the website, it does not just cover the mechanism. All the insides of the device are enclosed in a small capsule made of sapphire glass. The watch strap is made of crocodile leather.
The number of stones in the mechanism is 53 units. The device also boasts a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The power reserve is 170 hours. The rest of the parameters that may be of interest to some category of people can be read on the official website.
