it is quite easy in the end.

Look at this pic:




The black liquid is between 10 and 11. So it is 10 o'clock. So now, let's check the minutes. You have two ways. The easiest one: you look at the hand on the subdial. It is 10 again. So it's 10:10.

Or you look at the position of the liquid again. it is at the beginning of the segment. So you know that you are basically in the first quarter.

Hope it helps!

 By: foversta : October 23rd, 2016-14:24
HYT has managed to occupy an unique place in the watchmaking world in a very short time thanks to the originality of its time display based on the move of a colored liquid in a capillary tube. But HYT is not only a brand that is distinguished by its techn...

Will the liquid leak after 10 years? Who can service it besides HYT itself? I checked with my very seasoned watchmaker and he confirms that not many people dare to open the watch and service it - simply because the watchmakers are not trained or equipped ... 

It is a good remark and I will answer you...

Who will repair the watch in 10 years? The same than today: HYT. HYT is a brand which managed to successfully increase its capital at the beginning of the year. They are currently working to reinforce the service to the customers with watchmakers who will...
