Fluid Time
HYT was born of a question. Time ows and only gains meaning through content. So
why limit its measurement to indicating the now in splendid isolation, with needle-sharp
hands or eeting digital displays?
Determined that its rebellion should make statements and waves, a multi-disciplinary
think-tank set out to create timepieces that visibly connect the past, present and future.
The HYT answer is a watch that overcomes the force of gravity to indicate the passage
of time with liquids. Highly advanced technology took its cue from philosophy to mirror
time’s intrinsic uidity.

GUARANTEE
In this manual, you can nd the basic instructions for using and maintaining your watch.
Each HYT watch bears an individual identication number, which guarantees both its
authenticity, and that all the work involved in its creation has been supervised by a master
watchmaker.
Each HYT watch is equipped with a uidic module0. The uidic module is the device
which enables the time to be displayed via the meniscus1. The meniscus marks the
boundary between the two immiscible uids in the capillary3. The watch movement drives
the module via the bellows2 xed on the main plate. Only a professional watchmaker
approved by HYT can replace this uidic system. It bears a unique serial number.
The card you received when you purchased your watch is the electronic guarantee
certicate for your HYT watch.
The QR Code on the front of your card gives you access to unique and interactive content,
once you have downloaded the app. This content explains the correct way to use your
watch, with specic videos and texts.
The guarantee is activated upon purchase in our network of approved HYT retailers. You
must present your activated guarantee card to be entitled to the guarantee.
If following your purchase you have not received a conrmation e-mail, please go to
www.hytwatches.com/lounge. Then select the market place corresponding to your mobile.
The app will ask you to scan the QR Code and enter your e-mail, in order to send you a
password.
By downloading this app, you will be able to contact our customer services in a single click
in case of an incident or if you have any questions.
Your HYT watch is guaranteed against all manufacturing defects for ve years from the
date it was purchased, if the watch was purchased from an approved HYT retailer. This
guarantee does not however cover damage caused by incorrect handling or improper use
of the watch.
For any service, repair or maintenance procedure, please ensure you only use retailers
approved by HYT or our customer services.
You can nd the list of our network of approved retailers on our website www.hytwatches.com.
Any repair or maintenance work carried out by third parties who have not been approved
by HYT will automatically void the guarantee. Any damage caused will then have to be
repaired at your expense.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Your HYT watch is set and ready to be worn.
A colored liquid documents the recent past; a transparent uid indicates the foreseeable
future. Their meeting point is a meniscus in the capillary3, aka the now.
Important : If you plan to store the watch for a
while, the colored liquid has to be stored in its
own reservoir (in the left bellow2).
To do this, pull the crown out to position B (time
setting). Allow the colored liquid to move into
“Zone II” until it starts rewinding (ensure the time
needed for this movement is respected). Once
the rewinding phase is complete (colored liquid
in “Zone I”), ensure that the crown remains in the
time setting position B. Your watch is now ready to
be stored for an extended period.
The capillary3 is then filled with transparent
liquid (it is possible to still see some colored
liquid in “Zone I”).
Produced and tested to very stringent criteria, the constituent components of your HYT
watch together form an exceptionally water resistant unit. To ensure these qualities are
preserved, we recommend that you have the gaskets replaced during a service at an
authorized retailer. Temperature variations, moisture, perspiration or repeated impacts
may adversely affect its water resistance over the years.
With its water resistant case, your HYT watch is fully washable. It should be cleaned
regularly in lukewarm, soapy water, rinsed and then carefully dried with a soft cloth. After
exposure to sea water, rinse your HYT watch in fresh water.

0. Fluidic module:
To create a liquid time indicator that is compact, and wearable, HYT has developed a
completely new high-tech concept, using two exible bellows at each end of a capillary
tube. The system is sealed in accordance with the most stringent standards used in
the aerospace industry, with each bellow containing immiscible liquids. The exclusive
patented uidic module represents this complete system.
1. Meniscus:
The two liquids are separated by their intrinsic repulsive properties. . The meniscus
marks the surface separating the liquids in the tube, indicating the time.
2. Bellows:
The bellows are the two reservoirs located at 6 o’clock. They are made of a highly
resistant, exible alloy four times ner than a human hair. The movement compresses
the left-hand bellow which is emptied of its colored liquid. The other bellow then lls,
and vice versa, moving the liquid within the capillary, and with it the meniscus which
indicates the time.
3. Capillary:
This tube, made from the best quality glass as used in the medical industry, is circular in
shape and contains two immiscible liquids. A surface treatment is applied to the inside
of the capillary, which enables the two liquids to move smoothly without adhering to the
glass.
4. Rewind:
When the colored liquid gets to 6 o’clock (Zone II), it switches to rewind mode, owing
back to its original position (Zone I).

SETTING THE TIME
Pos B.
10 minutes = 1 crown movement
= 1 sec of manipulation
INTRODUCTION
This function allows the time shown on your watch to be set using the crown.
IMPORTANT
• Moving the microuids within the capillary3 should be approached with much caution
• We highly recommend that the uid is only moved 10 minutes with each movement
of the crown
• This should mean that moving the fluid a full hour takes around 6 seconds.
HOW TO USE
• Pull the crown out to position “B”
• Then turn the crown in either direction until the colored liquid (hour display) and the
minute hand is at the time required
• Push the crown in completely against the case.
REWIND
• The automatic return of the colored liquid (rewind)4
is allowed by the pressure of the two bellows2. The
speed is higher when the retrograde4starts in “Zone
II” and is minimal when the liquid approaches its
starting point in “Zone I”. Zone I Zone II

SETTING THE TIME COUNTER CLOCKWISE
It is possible to set your watch counter clockwise.
Warning: counter clockwise movement of the crown
must be stopped when the colored liquid reaches
“Zone I”.
