What a refreshingly honest interview, great stuff. Honestly, I think that rationalising your product lines, focusing on execution, and playing to your core market is a no-brainer. I just hope that market is still there after the historic issues. Lastly: bravo to Vincent in not taking the easy path, but the challenging one in sitting at the helm of something new.
Exactly! they weren't my kind of watch but I think it's better, if you have something unique, to exploit it... the watch I want from them is open so you can see the pistons and a skull at entry level... just go rock 🤘🏿
How about this imaginative concept: envision a valve-injection system enabling us to effortlessly alter the color of fluids at will. As an added touch, picture a secondary fluid tube, perhaps with a distinct size or shape, cleverly displaying the date.
I like HYT as a brand and I actually have a H0 which I wear on regular rotation. But I think what HYT seriously needs to consider is their price point. Does the company want to just make a quick cash grab or slowly cultivate an interest and audience. We all understand that a lot of capital went into R&D etc but for a relatively new brand that has had so many issues with investors and CEOs, a lot of potential customers definitely will be skeptical and be hesitant to purchase anything. Even more so when your entry level model is coming in at a whopping 50k. For 50k, potential customers are spoilt for choice in terms of what they can purchase. Should they make a purchase from reputable brands that also offer something innovative/interesting, or should they take a risk with a trouble child. Lowering the price point by 30k could help them make that decision. The new models are definitely more wearable in dimensions; the Moon Runner and the monochromatic Japan limited edition S1 are totally killer. In comparison, the new T1 looks really plain and basic in comparison, especially with all that empty dial but then again it could be a future base model to incorporate a chronograph, moonphase or calendar complication.
I think it's one of those things where, people will claim to be "traditional", but hate dress watches...Claim to want innovative and new, but won't spend the money, so they just find themselves back on a rolex waitlist for a stainless steel Daytona. lol

They have always been a favorite. Happy for them. They are headed in the right direction. Big improvements. Well executed.

Love to see innovation on the frontier of technology
Dear HYT ceo, how much damage did Davide Cerrato do? I can't bear to look at what he's doing to Bremont
Give out one free watch to Mr. Wonderful with a red band, Ed Sheeran and John Mayer, marketing done for the comeback

To me they are overpriced, but MUCH better value than richard mille
