Hautlence adds a new calibre to its collection, featuring an idiosyncratic reworking of the jumping hour mechanism that introduces a new time display principle. HL Newton uses a system based on gravitational force, indicating the time only when required and entering a mechanical standby mode when the passing minutes are of no interest to the wearer. A central wheel, skeletonised in the form of the famous Moebius symbol, drives the blued minute hand, which is tipped with a white arrow. While the hours and minutes follow their trajectory, a mobile central flange, in contrasting blue DLC coating, features the minute track numerals and a window that displays the time when desired by the wearer. When the wrist is in a random position, the time is not visible and the minute track is out of phase with the minute hand’s travel. This is Hautlence’s mechanical version of the sleep mode found on connected watches.
