GUARANTEE
In this manual, you can find the basic instructions for using and maintaining
your watch. Each HYT watch bears an individual identification 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 fluidic module. This device enables the time
to be displayed via the meniscus
The meniscus marks the boundary between the two immiscible fluids in the
capillary1 fixed on the main plate. Only a professional watchmaker approved by
HYT can replace this fluidic system. It bears a unique serial number3. The
watch movement drives the module via the bellows 2 The card you received when
you purchased your watch is the electronic guarantee certificate 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 specific 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 confirmation e-mail, please go to www.hytwatches.com/lounge. Then select the marketplace 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 five years
from the date it was purchased, if the watch was purchased from an approved
HYT retailer. This
the 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 find 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 fluid 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 (on the left below).
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.
Capillary 2 is then filled with transparent liquid (it is possible to still
see some colored liquid in “Zone I”).
Produced and tested to 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 seawater, rinse your HYT watch in freshwater.
GlOSSARY
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 flexible 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 fluidic module
represents this complete system.
-
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. -
Bellows:
The bellows are the two reservoirs located at 6 o’clock. They are made of a highly resistant, flexible alloy four times finer than human hair. The movement compresses the left-hand bellow which is emptied of its colored liquid. The other bellow then fills, and vice versa, moving the liquid within the capillary, and with it the meniscus which indicates the time. -
Capillary:
This tube, made from the best quality glass as used in the medical industry, is circular in shape and contains two immiscible liquids. Surface treatment is applied to the inside
of the capillary, which enables the two liquids to move smoothly without adhering to the glass. -
Rewind:
When the colored liquid gets to 6 o’clock (Zone II), it switches to rewind mode, flowing back to its original position (Zone I).

WINDING
Pos A.
INTRODUCTION
This function ensures that the power required to drive your watch is stored by
the movement.
HOW TO USE
• Wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise.
SETTING THE TIME
Pos B.
INTRODUCTION
This function allows the time shown on your watch to be set using the crown.
IMPORTANT
should be approached with much caution
- We highly recommend that the fluid is only moved for 10 minutes with each movement of the crown
- This should mean that moving the fluid for a full hour takes around 6 seconds.
- Moving the microfluidics within the capillary
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’s hand is at the time required
- Push the crown in completely against the case.
REWIND
• The automatic return of the colored liquid (rewind) 4. The speed is higher
when the retrograde is allowed by the pressure of the two bellows 2 starts in
“Zone II” and is minimal when the liquid approaches its starting point in
“Zone I”. 4 Z
SETTING THE TIME COUNTER ClOCKWISE
It is possible to set your watch counterclockwise.
Warning: counterclockwise movement of the crown must be stopped when the
colored liquid reaches “Zone I”.

POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
INTRODUCTION
This power reserve indicator function provides a real-time display of your
watch’s power, thereby indicating how long it will continue to run without the
spring being rewound.
HOW TO USE
The indicator uses a shaded disc. The more colorful it is, the fuller the
power reserve. To ensure optimal operation of the watch, we recommend that you
keep it fully wound (see WINDING).
