In 2023, Hautlence once again redefined the boundaries of mechanical watchmaking with the launch of the Sphere Series 1, a breathtaking limited edition of just 28 pieces that transforms timekeeping into kinetic sculpture. Encased in the brand’s signature TV-shaped stainless steel case, the watch immediately commands attention—not with traditional complications, but with an avant-garde display that appears to defy logic. On the left side of the dial, a blue PVD-coated titanium sphere floats as if suspended in space, its white Super‑LumiNova numerals rotating on three axes every hour to reveal the correct hour with mesmerizing precision. This seemingly magical movement is no trick; it is powered by an intricate system of conical gears and crossed spindles, engineered to execute the sphere’s hypnotic pirouette with mathematical accuracy.

To the right, a retrograde minute hand sweeps across a sapphire arc, only to snap back to zero at the top of the hour—its action regulated by a cam-based system that tempers the recoil with elegance. The entire mechanism is driven by the in-house Caliber A80, a manual-wind movement skeletonized for maximum visual drama, offering a 72-hour power reserve and protected by a safety system to prevent mishandling. From the glowing Globolight® indices to the vivid blue rubber strap and 100 meters of water resistance, the Sphere Series 1 marries artistic boldness with practical engineering.

But the real marvel is its philosophy: the Sphere Series 1 doesn’t simply display time—it performs it. Every glance is an encounter with motion, mystery, and invention, making it not just a wristwatch, but a theater of horology.
