This photographer, adventurer and mountaineer has climbed Mount Everest twice. But this year, along with […]
If watches tick discrete seconds, time is continuous. It flows. Literally. Reading time on an HYT watch is an original experience.

It makes sense […]

This year, as you’ve probably noticed, is the 50th anniversary of two important milestones for the watchmaking industry. On one side is the Moon-Landing. More important for today’s topic, 1969 marked the introduction of the Zenith El Primero, part of the first automatic chronographs launched on the market.
