Hautlence Sphere Series 3 Hands-On: The Gyroscopic Jumping Hour Watch Gets More Wearable
The Hautlence Sphere Series 3 is a limited edition watch that showcases a fresh design approach, making it more wearable and practical compared to its predecessors. With a smaller case size of 45mm by 37mm and a water resistance of up to 100 meters, it combines an eye-catching aesthetic with functionality. The watch features a unique jumping hour indicator that utilizes a purple titanium sphere, which rotates dramatically to display the hour, making it not only visually appealing but also easy to read. The manual movement, caliber A82, has a power reserve of 72 hours and operates at 3Hz, showcasing Hautlence's craftsmanship. The overall design emphasizes comfort and usability, with a titanium case that is just 11.5mm thick without the sapphire crystal. The attached suede leather strap integrates seamlessly with the case, enhancing its modern look. While the watch is currently available in a striking violet color, there are expectations for future variations in different hues. Priced at 69,000 CHF, the Hautlence Sphere Series 3 stands out as a fun and reliable timepiece, suitable for everyday wear, marking a significant step in the brand's evolution towards more appealing products.
