The award-winning LM series is now available in stainless steel Salmon-colored dials and stainless steel cases have been present for a very long time, but only occasionally and usually only for special versions.and that have developed a small niche following. Over the past 18 years, MB&F have only occasionally made stainless steel cases and even less frequently—just once—salmon dials. The new LM Perpetual Stainless Steel with Salmon Dial Plate is an absolute first for MB&F when you combine those two characteristics.Collectors will be happy to learn that this special pairing from MB&F won't be officially considered a limited edition, though it will be constrained by our manufacturing capacity due to the complexity of the LM Perpetual calibre and its 581 components. The Legacy Machine Perpetual, which was first unveiled in 2015, has emerged as one of MBandF's top models. The perpetual calendar mechanism was practically reinvented by our friend and independent watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, who produced a more user-friendly, more dependable (and incredibly beautiful!) machine. Among other accolades, it won the Best Calendar Watch prize at the GPHG / Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève. The first pieces ship as of now; you’ll also find them at eShop. Retail price of the LM Perpetual Stainless Steel is CHF 164,000 + VAT (USD 180,000 / EUR 172,000 + VAT).

Susan Hargreaves, founder of Animal Hero Kids, empowers all ages to be heroes to all species of animals via her award-winning, interactive education presentations, activism, speaking engagements and writing. International and national media have lauded her over four decades-long work to stop animal cruelty. Susan’s mission to create animal heroes has been covered by Yahoo News. Susan emigrated into the United States as a person of extraordinary ability in the field of humane education, a category reserved for Olympic athletes. She has received references and praise for her empathy fostering work from Jane Goodall, Michelle Obama, Ingrid Newkirk, Joaquin Phoenix and Paul McCartney. The global news magazine, Formidable Woman, wrote a feature article on Susan and her goals to save all species of animals. Susan founded the youth empowerment education charity Animal Hero Kids and infuses it with the passion, wisdom, and determination acquired during a lifetime devoted to animal activism. The Hollywood Times focused on her empowering work. Shaun Monson, the acclaimed Earthlings filmmaker has completed an original short documentary entitled The Heart Whisperer featuring Susan. Influential People Magazine covered the documentary. Her recent Veganza Animal Heroes young adult novel and vegan guide debuted at number one in the New Release categories for young adults, teens  and ecology on Amazon. The global tour was featured in International news media including Dublin Live News. Cruelty-free vegan fare tastings and activities are a featured component in her programs, which often showcase stories of outstanding acts of rescue and courage by youth. Susan unites, celebrates and informs at the vegan events she organizes. She dreams of opening an education center with a vegan cafe and a small sanctuary for school field trips. The Be an Animal Hero summit united pro-active youth and was covered by the Sun Sentinel. Susan can be reached at BEanAnimalHero.org You have been educating and empowering others to act on behalf of animals and the planet. What changes have you witnessed? Are you making progress? We are witnessing a global mindset shift around animal based agriculture and its negative effects on the planet. It has been and continues to be an uphill battle to empower, educate and activate others to be heroes to ALL animals and to the earth. When I first began my mission of fostering empathy and awareness of the plight of the most abused group of sentient beings and their suffering no-one knew what the word vegan meant. People were still believing the public relations spin of the factory farming industry. Part of your service with the “Be an Animal Hero” initiative with the AnimalHeroKids.org charity is to give free programs for all ages and grade levels. Can you give the Moralmoda readers an idea of what your presentations offer? A custom program for kindergarten to adult levels, each program is catered to specific audiences, like a bespoke virtual or in-person interactive event. The elementary grades enjoy true, animal rescue stories from my Skipping Stone Honor award winning book “Animal Hero Kids Voices for the Voiceless” and “Veganza Animal Hero” picture book, whose characters include an Irish flying vegan super hero and the first ever vegan brown mermaid superhero. Large costumed characters like Ronnie V Cow, Horace B Horse, Rocky Raccoon and Kitty T Cat help to get the kind to all animals message across for the younger audiences. Interactive programs for higher grade levels including adults are peppered with facts from the United Nations study,  “Livestock’s Long Shadow” and current world trends. You are an author as well as an activist and an educator. Tell us about your newest book. I was thrilled with the reception of the Veganza Animal Heroes world book tour last summer. At every event, and tour stop the positive reactions rebounded. Debuting at Number One on the Amazon new release list for young adults and ecology was my first game changing clue. When the Dublin Live news featured the Veganza Animal Heroes on the cover page with a headline proclaiming this is the “World’s First Vegan Superheroes Book …”  I was thrilled. I am grateful to the volunteers who helped with this latest initiative. Freedom is a new vegan superhero added in the last Veganza Animal Heroes book, his character was inspired by Korin Sutton, a vegan professional body builder who assists with Animal Hero Kids programs. Courage the mermaid character was played by Mitali  Deypurkaystha during the United Kingdom and Ireland tour stops. Sean Russell is a producer who helped with his smarts and filming for a future documentary. What are your signposts of progress? Vegan products are on a rising trajectory.  Emirates Airlines have noticed a 154 percent increase in vegan meals in one year. Saudi’s Prince Khaled, Leonardo DiCaprio, Snoop Dog and Bill Gates have all invested in vegan meats. Major trendsetters and popular singers like Billie Eilish, Jay Z and Beyonce have all encouraged their  billions of followers to go vegan for the animals, the planet or their health. Comedian Kevin Hart just opened his vegan fast food restaurant in Los Angeles and the line up to get in trailed down multiple  blocks, he’s laughing all the way to the bank! People are turning away from captive wildlife displays including circuses with animal acts and aquariums. Here in South Florida there is a tanking of animal act attendance. What has created this evolving away from cruelty or environmental harm? Activists of all ages have a larger audience thanks to social media. The education gleaned from books, films and the media have all contributed to this developing reality. Some may call it an adaptive form of evolution. In 2022, an original documentary film with a cameo by Joaquin Phoenix and other high profile celebrities premiered in Los Angeles called “ The Heart Whisperer “ which features you and your 43 years of dedication. What is your next step with the film? The power of film to change hearts and minds cannot be underestimated. I am now faced with helping to get this film seen by as many eyes as possible; an entirely new and unknown arena for me. University classes are invited to book screenings of the short film and I will lead a discussion around our changing economy and progress in terms of how we treat other animals. Free, vegan samplings are included. Here’s the trailer and booking link https://www.animalherokids.org/the-heart-whisperer/ There are some murmurings of live streaming opportunities, perhaps by the time your readers read this it will be a finalized deal. I am a perennial optimist and feel confident true people will come forward to assist as education is vital to the sustainability of our planet. We human animals can demonstrate remarkable courage and compassion. My lifelong goal encourages more of the same, more animal heroes. Help the “Animal Hero Kids Voices for the Voiceless” book be gifted to every school library at AnimalHeroKids.org Learn more at www.animalherokids.org

All images in Paris, courtesy of Marwan N. Fall Winter 2023/2024. Marwan grew up with fine fabrics and an artisanal know-how as he watched his father craft bespoke suits for Lebanese noblemen in his 1960s atelier. His journey into womenswear stared in the 1980s when he fled his war-torn country for a new beginning. Once he settled in the west, a handful of customers who sought made-to-measure pieces encouraged the emerging designer to transform his talent into women’s fashion. On his way back to Lebanon, Marwan was determined to flourish and rebirth the family business and the rest became history. An award-winning athlete, Marwan takes nature as an inspiration for his ethereal designs. The Mediterranean waves and evergreen mountains of his homeland serve as a canvas for his creative process. His recurrent muse is the modern woman: “She is constantly changing, growing and adapting to today’s world. In a way, her empowerment and success translate into my very own,” explains the Lebanese couturier. After the establishment of Gattinolli by Marwan almost 25 years ago, today, Maison Marwan N. launches a couture collection of unique and exclusive creations to be flaunted by celebrities and affluent personalities globally. A thrilling journey Marwan is excited to embark on after he first designed the wedding gown of his wife, who serves as his eternal confidant and artistic partner.

Mon Amour et Mon Dieu . 2013 Private collection Pierre Lagrange Las Meninan lll. Private collection Michael Portillo, Spain Visionnaire had the pleasure of talking to her at her home in London. V. What is the connection between art and high jewelry? High jewelry is another medium of artistic expression. A work of art or "objet d’art" that triggers a certain feeling, a memory, or a thought These are forms of expression of the sublime, of the soul, and of nature; they use different "languages," but "all roads lead to Rome," in this case to the heart. Artist-jewelers historically were artists who used ceramic, gold, textiles, paint, metal, film, and any medium to express an idea, an emotion, etc. Medium is also often a way to explore new transformations. The process becomes both the medium and the message at the same time. Cardiology Bracelet, Gold & Enamel COBALT CARDIAC The Cardiology Collection 2014 Private Collection, Rome, 2008 T: What is your practice about? I have an art and design practice. They are two separate entities; I am different people in both; however, they both have parts of my heart and brain in them, and they both work with certain systems, principles, and methodologies of thinking and developing that combine years of studio life as well as my constant research practice. In my life, I have been formulating thoughts and emotions through the means of creating art. Even in design, whether jewelry or other works, it always goes back to the essence. It connects art to life through science and math. It is about deconstructing what we perceive as truth and reconstructing it through love and transcendence. BLUE BRAIN RECOGNITION SYSTEM 1 V. How did it all start? I was sent to an art school at the age of 4. It was an Armenian school in the ancient city of Aleppo in Syria called "Sarian Academy". There I was tutored by classical fine artists from Soviet Armenia. Contemporary art and conceptual thinking were very foreign to that place at that time. I suppose this is how I started in art... They asked us (and expected us) to paint the classic landscape with a hut, a sun, a bird house, etc. Instead, I painted buildings, an urban surround, a heart, imaginative places, and Cubist flowers. We were taught to paint "Nature Mort"—dead nature, fruit bowls, Roman sculptures, classical imagery of nature, musical instruments, etc. I learned the rules through all this education; however, I broke every one of them. Since then, I have painted metallic square flowers and melting suns. The way of seeing the world in a completely unique and new way has never been an intentional one, but it is how I perceive the world. In the later years at St. Martins, this vision took yet another flight, leading to a much more complex twist in the way I perceived things, or even more how I observed the world around and within. We can never undo this transformation. A Private Collection of Floral Century L 2012. Paul Smith, London Above: Pink Khamajig, 2002, Paris "The Paris Collection". Armenia, 2002, Paris, The Paris Collection Oil, stylization, and collage on card. Oil and acrylic stylization are cut from canvas paper and mounted on card. While doing this, I was also in elementary school, ballet school, and a classical choir in addition to the piano lessons! This went on for at least 10 years. Here is where I learned the principles of classic fine art school. As well as learning sculpture, life painting, water color, oil, etc. Later, it was time to break all the rules. This appeared clearly in my Paris collection, also called "Burlesque at the Backstage of Theatre Gothic" and also influenced by the iconic Armenian couture duo, the Tarloyan brothers, who designed for Galliano, Lacroix, etc. This was my first figurative expressionist attempt (post-couture school). These works were inspired by the couture jewels that Coco Chanel created, but also by the Armenian Christian relics—Kachkars are crosses—which are historic tombstones that are very particular to Armenian history and Christian heritage. It was the name that I liked, and I called it burlesque, not really understanding its’ meaning. I was only 20. Fast forward to 2004 at London's Central St.Martin’s School, where I learned to unlearn everything, and something changed in the way I saw the world, which changed my art forever.

Since I was a child, back in Aleppo, my mother took me with her to buy jewelry pieces for her, and occasionally I got to have my own jewelry pieces too. In later years, she used to commission very unique pieces for her concerts. She had a great stage presence; she was a classical singer with a unique soprano coloratura voice, and her jewelry was a subtle work of art and self-expression, not a commodity. Similarly, my aunt used to take me with her to other jewelers, where she ordered bespoke fancy jewelry pieces for her and her daughters; these were more pearls or sapphires. My aunt was value-savvy, not so much into the art side. I absorbed both outlooks towards jewelry. Art jewelry, even when it is high jewelry, is quite different from what we see in the current luxury market. I love both, but somehow it influenced how I inherently challenge that difference. Art Deco, the Bauhaus, and what I call "gallery jewelry" are not necessarily what the great jewelry maisons are doing. There is a huge spectrum, although different cultures and purposes inform the art and commercial jewelry. Is it a design masterpiece? Or an object of investment—a "financial statement"?!—or rarely both. Great jewelry houses like Van Cleef & Arpels, where I briefly studied a few courses and explored their history, Cartier, and Bvlgari often have a great balance of all the elements that make a piece great, which involves great design, artistry, and value. Van Cleef & Arpels being on top in terms of creativity It is also worth mentioning one of my favorite jewelers in recent history, Paul Flato, who continuously inspires my design process. We can feel the art and story through his pieces. They hold meaning and an independent life of their own, beyond carats and market value. Every design starts with an idea. Some ideas take their spark from a stone, a diamond, an architectural monument, a color, etc. When I first showed my art to Mark Evans, the managing director of Bentley & Skinner, he looked at one of my artworks and said, "This is art, but it is also jewelry." Only recently did I fully understand the weight of his words. At the time, I was always feeling "judged" for doing both artwork and jewelry design. As if one of them was not serious enough. But the more I dove into researching and learning about jewelry throughout history, auctions, and the world of collectibles, the more this connection became apparent. And it all comes down to my main philosophy: everything is connected. 21st-CENTURY TAKE ON A FAMILY CREST Private Commission - Padova, Italy – 2012 David Bailey in action. Photograph at the David Bailey studio All rights reserved. London in the photoshoot session, 2013. How do you come up with all these ideas? Where do they come from? To begin with, the question that pauses itself is "What is an idea"? and "what is an artwork"? An idea is an invitation to perceive and feel in a certain way. An artwork is the means by which an artist tells their version of the world. It can just be an experience, like we see in new media. An idea comes from everywhere, yet there is always a system behind the creative process. It is more accurate to ask, "What is the reason and system behind an artwork or an idea? Why rather than where? An artwork or object of art reflects our internal and external worlds, a result of the connection between the heart and the brain and all that happens in between. Pavillions of Memory 2018 CCA Montreal New Media Time-Based Sculpture Painting, electronics, screens, cameras, codes, interfaces, sound systems, wires, metal sculptures, Perspex sculptures, latex, and interactive video content Supported by Gluon, Bozar Lab, and Printemps Numerique What is the relationship between art and life? Does art imitate life? Or vice versa? It always starts with the heart. Even the idea is first an emotion, a feeling. And without a happy heart, there is no art, no creativity. It all becomes meaningless. This is why the heart—love—is of utmost importance to me. More than any art or design I create. 2012, FRAGILE CARDIAC, oil, mixed media, and stencil on canvas paper Private Collection, Germany How do you describe your designs? Both jewelry and rugs? I somehow strive to bridge the gap between form and content, realism and poeticism, originality and classicism, east and west, bohemian and noble, the spiritual and the glamorous. In 2007, when I launched my first and only couture collection "Bright Young Things" at Kensington Gardens in London, my slogan was "Minimalist expression of a maximalist decadence". In art as in design, it is all about creating an idea and presenting it within a space (both physical and imaginative) and a time (that captures the L’air du Temps, yet it remains timeless), and dealing with aesthetics—the external world and the depth of the internal—with a certain obsession that creates the complex relationship and balance between the minimalist and maximalist. "Royal jewelers and royalties who wore my pieces have the same playful expression as those who collect my art. There is always an element of surprise, an unpredictable moment that gives the subject "Delight". A term specifically expressed by Professor Koen Kas in the innovative and advanced medical industries." Everything in our universe is connected. Science, art, technology, the divine proportion, architecture, and design/archaeology—even future cities. These are also some of the sources of her inspiration when creating artwork or projects. Research is the basis of everything, coupled with imagination, meditation, passion, and love!

“Ajarian Bride’s Treasure” - Irma Sharikadze’s short Documentary is a peculiar manifest giving voice to women living in mountainous Ajara, because this tradition of creating embroidery was passed down from generation to generation through the line of women. Director and photographer Irma Sharikadze with celebrated fashion writer Diane Pernet Since her first solo exhibition “Phantom” took place in 2004 in Old Tbilisi as a part of the Tbilisoba festival, Sharikadze has worked on both artistic and commercial projects with great success. Her most well-known exhibition named “Letters” dedicated to Frida Kahlo, the Mexican Artist was held at the GMG Gallery in Moscow 2010, in St Petersburg Museum of Contemporary Art Erarta 2013 and Contemporary Art cent M17 in Kiev 2015. Various works from this exhibition were purchased by the Moscow Museum of Modern Arts and by private foundations. Sharikadze states Niko Pirosmani, the world famous primitive artist, and Sergei Parajanov, a famous Gerogian/Armenian film director as her main inspirers, not only for their style but also for their personal life convictions. Irma Sharikadze lives and works in Tbilisi. Her photograph of the royal couple of Georgia was featured as a coverstory of Moralmoda Magazine in December 2020. Her most recent documentary project “Ajarian Bride’s Treasure” is a peculiar manifest giving voice to women living in mountainous Ajara, because this tradition of creating embroidery was passed down from generation to generation through the line of women. It is especially obvious today that this voice must be heard clearly and loudly. Therefore, the dowry embroidery of Ajarian women is an art form that can freely present Georgia from a completely new perspective to the culture of the world. Irma tells us about the handicrafts of women living in highland Ajara, the Ajarian embroidery, as one of the greatest and most significant constituents of Georgian traditional handicrafts, is in danger of being completely lost today. In 2019 Irma went on her first expedition to Adjara to work on her project. In 2020, the Embroidery of Ajara was awarded with the status of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Monument. In 2021 she got published in National Geographic and began filming of her documentary “Adjaran bride's treasure” with TBC’s support. In 2022 film won three best documentary awards at international film festivals.

Made for extreme diving adventures- like cave dives, DOXA presents the new SUB 200 C-GRAPH II that is a new version of the steel chronograph, with a more contemporary 42mm diameter case and a new, subtly luminous dial with a sunray finish that makes the collection’s six colors pop! All courtesy DOXA - Your call to adventure – Doxa Watches Available from April 2023 at DOXA retailers, and the e-shop on the official DOXA website. The world of underwater caves and caverns! A unique scenery of out-of-this-world rock formations, stalactites and stalagmites. Crystal-clear waters that offer incredible visibility deep and far, an uncanny diversity of fish and other creatures. A fascinating and mysterious universe that is attracting more and more divers who are passionate about exploration. These divers, always with their trusted dive watch on the wrist, venture deep into the caves to discover nature’s hidden wonders. High-risk diving As exciting as cave diving is, it is not risk-free. This is an ultra-technical activity that requires not only a certain level of proficiency but also the temperament to deal with stress, to surpass oneself, and overcome one’s fears in extreme situations when confronted with narrow passages, violent currents and reduced visibility. With cave diving, situational awareness and time management can be challenging. Divers must sometimes get through winding gullies, which can impair freedom of movement and orientation. They must also keep aware of their immediate surroundings, as they can easily scrape against rocks and coral formations that can cause serious injury. And always keep the clock in mind. Then there is the darkness. In caves, natural light can be nonexistent, making it difficult to spot obstacles and navigate your way around in an environment where strong currents make it even harder to keep a steady course. So, while diving in caves can be great fun, the risks are real, and they quickly amplify. That is why cave diving calls for extra purpose-designed equipment, like a powerful primary light, a backplate for the buoyancy vest, markers, guidelines, safety reels... and a reliable and easily readable watch. The right dive watch is in fact crucial. Cave divers sometimes go for up to 9 hours without surfacing, and returning to the surface is not just a matter of ‘going back up’: it is often not possible at any given moment and requires some navigating and planning; that is why time management is key in terms of depth and air supply. Safety, reliability – always with a mechanical back-up! While it is a given that all divers today are equipped with latest-generation high-tech digital instruments, it is also true they never go on a dive without reliable, mechanical, safe back-up equipment – like a SUB. Across the wide range of dive watches that have earned DOXA its reputation for reliability and a distinctive aesthetic, the mechanical chronograph – with its true ‘tool’ function – has always played a leading role ever since the first SUB was launched in 1967. A new, slightly smaller and more contemporary 42mm case The SUB 200 C-GRAPH II was developed to fulfill the role of a tool watch on these high-risk dives. With a more contemporary diameter of 42mm and a reduced thickness of 15.85mm, it offers the same functionality and features as its larger 45mm sibling presented in 2020. The SUB 200 C-GRAPH II is also made of the highest quality 316L stainless steel. The mechanical automatic chronograph (28,800 vph, 4.0 Hz, 27 jewels) is a Tri-Compax model with three counters for keeping track of dive times and a unidirectional rotating steel bezel with the minute indication highlighted in white Super-Luminova™. A new finish detail: the sunray dial Beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, the dial dazzles with a new finish that echoes the collection’s vintage spirit: a luminous sunburst effect that gives the dial a subtle, distinctive elegance. The SUB 200 C-GRAPH II's sunburst finish, with its almost-imperceptible brushed lines that radiate outward from the center of the dial, like the rays of the Sun. Obtained using metal filament brushes, it effectively magnifies, even truly illuminates each of the collection’s six dial colors. With its slightly lighter heft, a revisited integration of the bracelet (there is the option of the iconic stainless-steel ‘beads of rice’ bracelet or a softer and suppler FKM rubber strap), 20 ATM (200 meters or approx. 650 feet) water-resistance rating, and a power reserve of up to 56 hours, the SUB 200 C-GRAPH II should quickly earn its place as an indispensable tool-companion for divers seeking a reliable, high-performance watch for their more extreme underwater adventures, while cultivating a sporty-chic look in urban surroundings that remains as elegant and contemporary as ever.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland, H.E. Massimo Baggi, Swiss Ambassador to the UAE and Bahrain, in collaboration with Reto Gaudenzi, Founder & CEO World Polo GmbH, organised a polo friendship game in Dubai. This took place on Sunday 19 March 2023 at Ali Albwardy's Desert Palm Polo Club. The match was won by Team Dubai, who defeated Team St. Moritz/Switzerland by 5 goals to 3. The original idea for the polo friendly in Dubai came from Ambassador Massimo Baggi, himself a passionate polo player. He decided to present it to his long-time friend Reto Gaudenzi. Gaudenzi, founder of the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz & CEO of World Polo GmbH, was immediately enthusiastic and spontaneously agreed to support Baggi with his organisation in the planning and implementation of the game. The extraordinary project quickly aroused the interest of Marijana Jakic, Brand Manager St. Moritz & Member of the Management Board ESTM. The destination used the high-calibre platform as the main sponsor to perfectly showcase St. Moritz's unique diversity in this important market. In addition, the two event partners SWISS and Switzerland Tourism were also on hand to invite their partners, tour operators and customers to the event.

UNDONE’s management team will present the brand’s strategy and new product lineup during Geneva Watch Week. In 2022, UNDONE manufactured 20,000 watches, of which 70% were unique made-to-order watches, all of them on UNDONE production lines in Hong Kong and mainland China. In 2023, the company will also be launching exclusive collections made in Switzerland. Additional production sites will be opening in Japan and the US. The US market accounts for 60% of the brand’s business, Asia for 20% and Europe for 20% as well. The UNDONE community is passionate and loyal – some customers own no fewer than 18 UNDONE watches. In the last five years, UNDONE has grown from a 3-person startup into a 40-strong team. The mantra of UNDONE: Individuality matters It’s not about making watches for everyone, but for every One. And why UNDONE? Rémi Chabrat, the brand’s Co-CEO puts it like this: “Because until the customer gets what they want, we're not done.” In the immortal words of the unforgettable Popeye: I'm strong to the finich, ‘cause I eats me spinach! In 2023, the brand is shifting into high gear with its ultra-advanced watch customization concept first developed 8 years ago under the impetus of its founder Robert Tran. Joining forces with Rémi Chabrat, CEO of Montrichard Group, a Hong Kong-based industrial group with substantial manufacturing capabilities, means UNDONE will be able to scale up to up to 500 unique made-to-order watches per day! At the core of UNDONE’s strategy: push the boundaries of ‘made-to-order’ even further, right down to customizing the smallest components of the watch movement; enhance the brand’s watchmaking cred by with Swiss-made products for certain collections during the year; develop collaborations with big names in fashion, lifestyle, design and streetwear; and leverage licensing agreements to bring back pop culture icons from comics and cartoons that will make even the most nostalgic collectors happy. The UNDONE Story: Making ‘exclusively made-to-order’ affordable For decades, “made to order,” “bespoke,” “one-off” and “unique creation” were part of a vocabulary reserved only for the rarefied spheres of Haute Horlogerie. 8 years ago, into this reality was born a lifestyle watch that would change the course of history with a story of its own: UNDONE. “Luxury is no longer about price. It’s about the exclusiveness of owning something unique, something special, something that no one else has – something that is You." Next-level personalization With UNDONE, you design your own watch. UNDONE takes you through an amazing creative building process: from selecting a basic collection style with the color and material for the watch case, to choosing practically all the components that make up the watch. Dial, indexes, bracelet, different engraving options, color, strap... you can even have an image of your choice printed on the caseback. At the end of the day, what you are purchasing is a unique product that, like nothing else you can buy, reflects your own personal tastes. Since 2014, UNDONE has been leveraging its incredibly flexible and efficient manufacturing equipment and processes with one goal: to give as many people as possible the opportunity to own a unique made-to-order watch, to design, to express who they are through something they create. At UNDONE watches, happy customers are those who feel fulfilled. UNDONE is the brand with the ability to listen to its consumers and let them make their own choices. BASECAMP Cali. Everyday California Dial Watch Watches that inspire, that make you smile when you see them on the wrist. When UNDONE started out on its journey in 2014, the brand entered into licensing agreements to bring iconic pop culture characters from cartoons and comic books – like Popeye, Pinocchio, Snoopy, Astro Boy, Batman… – onto the watchmaking scene, creating new possibilities for ‘bespokeness with a twist’. More recently, UNDONE began engaging with artists and creators in the fields of fashion, street art and streetwear, letting their cool creative-disruptive energy flow into new watch creations that echo and amplify the Individuality matters message.

For ten years, HYT has been continuously pushing the boundaries of high-end contemporary watchmaking in both technical and aesthetic terms. The HYT Conical Tourbillon is the result. HYT Conical Tourbillon marks 10 years of watchmaking revolutions, celebrated with an innovative tourbillon. HYT Conical Tourbillon. All images HYT Watches The new HYT Conical Tourbillon is a hypnotic, technical response to the promise made by the Neuchâtel company ten years ago: to take high-end watchmaking into the future. A symbiosis between science and the expertise of the finest watchmakers, this mechanical fluidic watch is fitted with a conical tourbillon. Created by master watchmaker Eric Coudray, who took inspiration from the unique inclined balance tourbillon developed by Walter Prendel in 1928, it provides a new solution to improve the stability and performance of the tourbillon. The new HYT Conical Tourbillon watch is both visually captivating and technically fascinating. By combining its animations and the complexity of an innovative, original conical tourbillon with the exclusive mechanical fluidic technology from HYT, this new timepiece expresses the independent Swiss brand’s utterly unique vision of watchmaking. This contemporary timepiece is the most accomplished of those designed by HYT. The HYT Conical Tourbillon stands for everything that makes this independent Swiss watchmaking brand – founded in 2012. The HYT Conical Tourbillon is clearly the start of a new chapter. “HYT is entering a new phase in its history, a phase of maturity,” says Nicolas Sestito, the brand’s product director. “For ten years, we have been positioning ourselves as the ‘Mechanical Fluidic Engineering’, opening up numerous fields of research in order to make our approach a reality. From the very beginning of the adventure, we have brought mechanics back to its most beautiful and noble form. Something which can not only be seen and touched, it can also be felt with tools. It has taken lots of discipline and excellence to perfect these complex devices. We were then able to further develop our creative approach by giving it a conceptual dimension at an intellectual level” to illustrate that the fluidic indication made possible by the mechanical movement in HYT watches goes far beyond the status of a simple instrument. TEN YEARS OLD, AND A TIME FOR A BOLD APPROACH The brand's desire for growth and development also allows for more structured experimentation. Based on this philosophy, the new HYT Conical Tourbillon watch is a return to the purity of the brand’s creative sources, a full expression of its singular character. It is both animated and sensual thanks to the dual movement effect created by the retrograde fluid hour markers and the turning of the conical tourbillon with its dynamic movements. The HYT Conical Tourbillon is a new form of life, symbolised by the central mechanism at its heart. On the wrist, the seductive lines and finish of the HYT Conical Tourbillon are beautifully showcased. The piece symbolises a contemporary approach to watch design perfectly combined with the most refined work of the Swiss watchmaking sector’s master craftsmen. A careful eye will spot the sand-blasted and satinised finish of the 701 TC calibre, a hand-wound mechanical movement beating at a frequency of 21,600 vib/h (3 Hz). More discerning lovers of high-end watchmaking will be interested in the specifications of the suspended tourbillon movement with a spring-balance inclined at 30 degrees to horizontal, the escape wheel at 15 degrees, and a pallet at 23 degrees. This bold technical achievement takes its inspiration directly from the works of German watchmaker Walter Prendel and his inclined balance tourbillon. WHEN ERIC COUDRAY AMPLIFIES PRENDEL'S TOURBILLON The tourbillon is a mechanical device invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet to improve the precision of mechanical watches by counteracting disruptions to the isochronism of the balance caused by Earth’s gravity. The principle is to place the movement’s regulator and escapement in a cage rotating around its own axis in order to obtain a range of vertical positions and ensure mutual compensation and thus release itself from the pull of the Earth. Watchmakers have been working on perfecting this system for more than two centuries and there are numerous interpretations and variations on the theme, from the original principle patented in 1801 by Abraham-Louis Breguet to Omega’s central tourbillon in 1995. However, one of the most important steps in the evolution of the tourbillon is not one of the most well-known. This was the development in 1928 of an oblique tourbillon by the German watchmaker Walter Prendel. In his workshops in Groitzsch, a part of Saxony which is as well-known as Switzerland for the development of cutting-edge watches, Walter Prendel aimed to prove the relevance of his research – based on the theories of master watchmaker Alfred Helwig – into improving the stability and regularity of the rate of his oblique tourbillon with a spring-balance inclined at 30° to horizontal. This would be demonstrated through the creation of a unique pocket watch equipped with his ingenious device, completing one rotation in 6 minutes. A key milestone, this historic watch has not been seen since it was sold at auction in Geneva in 2021. It was in the early 2020s that master watchmaker Eric Coudray, winner of the Prix Gaïa and familiar with the complex works of Walter Prendel, decided to continue this work to improve the tourbillon, using this oblique tourbillon as his base. Eric Coudray devised his conical tourbillon, which he called the “Cônillon”, a revision and reinterpretation of Prendel’s oblique tourbillon. Given its advances in contemporary fine watchmaking, it was only logical that HYT would decide to include a tourbillon in the design of the mechanical movement for its new watch. Of course, the independent company turned to Eric Coudray, closely associated with the development of the brand for many years, to help it achieve this. In the same way that the ebb and flow of the fluids in HYT watches are visible and evident, the capacities of the conical tourbillon can be understood without a magnifying glass or other tools by any discerning watch lover thanks to the unusual dynamic animation. At the very heart of the dial, where the conical tourbillon completes a clockwise revolution in 30 seconds, there are three spheres rotating at different speeds which are easy to observe: the first completes four turns a minute, the second five turns a minute, and the third six turns a minute, clockwise. These rotations introduce a particularly bold form of chaos as, paradoxically, they demonstrate the stability of the conical tourbillon’s rate. Any observer would intuitively be tempted to think that their contradictory forces would cause disruption, upsetting the equilibrium, which seems to fly in the face of strict watchmaking logic. On the contrary, they demonstrate the perfect stabilisation of the rhythm of the tourbillon as, unlike other types of animation which are positioned after the balance in the chain of movement, the animated spheres in the HYT Conical Tourbillon are cut across by the energy produced by the four cylinders in order to reach the regulating organ. The unconnected, rapid movements of the animated spheres ensure the conical tourbillon keeps perfect time, providing a tangible demonstration of its technical efficiency. EXCELLENCE AND ARTISTRY ON A MICRON SCALE If we look closer, these spheres provide yet another indication of the level of quality put into the production of the HYT Conical Tourbillon. Each of these three spheres measuring 2.5 mm in diameter is produced individually by a glass blower using traditional methods. This ancient technique relies on skilled craftsmanship and extreme precision, the latter taken to remarkable extremes here, requiring work to the nearest micron. The walls of these spheres are extremely thin, with very minute tolerances of just five hundredths to one tenth of a millimetre. This makes each sphere completely unique and requires bespoke calibration. The difficulty does not end with the dimensions as the spheres are then filled with fluorescent liquid so that their rotations can be seen. In order to contain this glow-in-the-dark liquid, the first stage is to guarantee the spheres are completely sealed at a molecular level. Last but not least, the spheres are filled with luminescent fluid, which is another complex, precision manual operation which can only be carried out by the expert hand of a true artisan. This is why HYT has two dedicated qualified watchmakers working solely on producing this exceptional movement which marries technical watchmaking skills with craftsmanship. There are 533 components in the assembly. The tourbillon cage alone has 159 components. If you add the 39 dial components and the 66 case components, the whole of the HYT Conical Tourbillon is made up of 750 components, all of which are assembled and checked by hand. The entire mechanism, made up of HYT’s proprietary fluid module, here with a green liquid, and the conical tourbillon in its modernist cage, sits beneath a dome of sapphire crystal which encloses a 48 mm case made of hydrocarbon and titanium. Telling the time using liquids: a sophisticated contemporary response to an age-old principle. HYT was born in 2012 from a dream of using liquid to display the time on a mechanical watch. The independent Swiss watchmaker has developed a very personal approach to the art of watchmaking, guided by the ambition to return to the very sources of timekeeping as they were first established many thousands of years ago. In order to do this, HYT has developed cutting-edge technology which allows it to transfer the energy developed by the watch movement to animate the fluid mechanics. Specifically, it involves using a very fine glass capillary tube connected to two bellows with walls one quarter the thickness of a human hair but 10,000 times more watertight than even a traditional diver’s watch. The mechanical movement uses pressure to move two immiscible liquids contained in two flexible reservoirs known as bellows. One of the liquids is transparent, the other is coloured. Where the two liquids meet is the point of reference in order to tell the time. This is a retrograde reading as the compression energy is transferred to the first of the two reservoirs after six hours. The liquid then reverses its course in about a minute before starting a new 12-hour compression cycle. To enable a link between the liquid system and the watch calibre, the movement has an oversized lever known as the feeler. It establishes a connection between the functioning of the cam and that of the bellows, whose role is to control the movement of the two liquids. This cam allows perfect synchronisation between the fluidic time and the mechanical time. By improving the energy regulation of the mechanical calibre, the tourbillon increases the precision of this coordination. In order to keep the liquids separated while controlling their movement using the bellows, the engineers harnessed a physical phenomenon which uses the force of repulsion of the molecules of each fluid and the walls of the capillary tube. The liquid module needs to be perfectly hermetically sealed and able to compensate for the expansion of the liquids due to temperature fluctuations. This is a particularly challenging constraint for an item worn on the wrist, which is exposed to changing body temperature, changing external temperatures and other hazards of everyday life, both indoors and outdoors. The key element is the thermal compensator inside one of the two bellows. For more than ten years, HYT has been constantly improving both its system and its movements. 2023 sees an important step forward. HYT is entering a new phase in its development, reaching a certain level of maturity. Its limited-edition timepieces are sophisticated, complex and highly unusual, while still exemplifying a form of hedonism. The brand’s course is set, and exclusivity is the watchword.
