Hautlence Atelier HLRS 03-001; Retrograde Men's Watch

Description

---

Time for some adventure with the Hautlence HLRS 03-001. This is retrograde perfection in an industrial design. The Hautlence HLRS 03 is a true manufactory masterpiece for those who choose the unconventional. This rare model from the avant-garde HLRS Artelier series combines a retrograde timepiece with a mechanical heart that exudes pure craftsmanship. With a retail price of €32,000, this is an absolute rarity and a truly high-end example of watchmaking. Naturally, this watch has also been sold at (heavy) discounts, which is also the reason for its considerably lower price/market value. The HLRS 03-001 is not a watch for everyone, and that is precisely the intention. Hautlence stands for independent watchmaking and with this model demonstrates how technology, geometry, and aesthetics converge to create a unique experience of time. Ideal for the collector or connoisseur looking to enhance their collection with a piece as rare as it is stylish. This is a rare, high-quality creation from this Swiss microbrand from Le Brassus, by the former director of Audemars Piguet. What a stunner, what detail! A top-of-the-line manufacture movement with beautiful retrograde complications. Sapphire crystal on both the front and back provides a perfect glimpse into the unique technique behind the gorgeous layered honeycomb dial. What a striking appearance! A class apart and absolute value for money! This high-quality watch is equipped with a Swiss Made retrograde manufacture movement. The movement runs perfectly and accurately with an amplitude of over 300 degrees and a deviation of 2 seconds per 24 hours. A retrograde watch is a watch in which one or more hands do not revolve in a full circle, but instead move over a curved scale and then return to the starting point in a single jump, which is called a retrograde (derived from the Latin for "going back"). Instead of a hand that rotates continuously (like a normal minute or second hand), a retrograde hand gradually moves in one direction across a scale from 0 to 60 minutes. When the end of the scale is reached, the hand rapidly jumps back to the beginning thanks to a mechanical spring mechanism. The hours are displayed on a rotating disc on the left. A remarkably rare watch with a significant head cut in a top offer! This watch comes in a luxury in-house box with a Hautlence warranty card (blank and not pictured) containing an in-house warranty report and a 1-year warranty.
