H2 Alinghi |
For the second year of their partnership, HYT and Alinghi
hoist their sails even higher with the H2 Alinghi, which follows in the wake of
the H4 Alinghi. “It’s a very
successful twosome – just like the Alinghi team, twice winner of the
America’s Cup,” says Vincent Perriard, member of the board &
co-founder of HYT.
For the first time in its history, HYT has built an H2 with
a fully untreated titanium case. This is also the very first H2 to feature the
new black liquid, unveiled at the beginning of the year. The H2’s caliber has
been suitably adapted: for the first time, it’s been crafted in two-tone black
and grey; above it glides a brand new central minutes hand, drawing inspiration
from marine-style hands.

Lastly, the hour flange has also been redesigned with a twin
satin/glass blasted effect, making the hour markers stand out both more clearly
and more gently. The piece is mounted on a new ultra-resistant technical strap
in matching shades.
Maintaining its original diameter of 48.8mm, the timepiece
will be produced in a limited edition of just 25.
