Linear In Red

Released in a limited edition of only 28 pieces, the Hautlence Linear Series 3 Red brings a vivid pop of colour to this exceptional collection. Featuring a spectacular openworked dial arrangement that showcases a one-minute tourbillon and retrograde jumping hour indication, the rhodium-plated brass dial of the watch is finished with a vertical satin finish, and is dressed with red Zapon lacquer. The model is presented in the iconic Hautlence TV-shaped case, measuring 50.8mm across and 43mm end to end and with a height of 11.9mm, manufactured from stainless steel, and finished with satin and polished techniques. The bevelled sapphire crystal, adds a sense of depth to the arrangement of the dial, which is enlivened with brilliant white double digit numerals for the central minutes and the retrograde hours, with each element enhanced with Globolight ensuring after-dark illumination.

Beating at a frequency of 21’600 vib/h (3Hz), and with a reserve of power of 72 hours, the Hautlence D50 automatic tourbillon movement is highly modern in architecture, with dark grey rendering and a finely brushed decoration on the bridges. Appreciable through the rear sapphire crystal, the movement also features a partially openworked rotor embellished with the brand’s signature Moebius logo. The model wears on a red rubber strap secured with a steel pin buckle.

Founded in 2004 and acclaimed for their unconventional time indications and masterful micro-mechanics, Hautlence are now a sister company H. Moser & Cie. Having marked their renaissance in 2022, the Linear Series 3 Red watch is a superb addition to their portfolio.
