In 2012, HYT created a buzz within the watchmaking community with its hybrid mechanical-fluidic technology allowing the time to be displayed using fluids. After a short hiatus ceasing operations in 2021, HYT was taken over by Kairos Technology Switzerland SA and appointed Davide Cerrato as CEO. Davide, a veteran of the watchmaking industry comes with a proven track record having worked with brands such as Panerai, Tudor, and Montblanc/Minerva. Now, in 2022 HYT returns with a totally new watch, the Hastroid.
