The New Hautlence Linear Sequence 2 Full Black

In September 2022, Hautlence opened a brand new chapter in its historical past. After a number of comparatively quiet years, with hardly any new fashions introduced, the MELB Holding (additionally the proprietor of H. Moser & Cie.) determined to relaunch the model with a brand new assortment, with a mode that was coming again to the basics of this indie watchmaker – TV-shaped case and unique shows. This took the form of two watches, the Vagabonde Sequence 4 with wandering hours and, essentially the most putting of the 2, the Linear Sequence 1, a watch that takes on the basic cues of the model. And now, it’s again in black, with the Hautlence Linear Sequence 2.

Hautlence was once one of the crucial prolific impartial watchmakers of the 2000s, with fairly beautiful and really expressive creations similar to the HL collection and rectangular case, opening up on unique shows usually consisting of retrograde and leaping indications. Distinctive and distinctive, it made fairly an influence, but the model barely fell into oblivion. However final yr, the homeowners determined it was time for a grand comeback, which has been completed (principally) with the Hautlence Linear watch.

The dial of the Hautlence Linear Sequence 2, identical to final yr’s mannequin in metal and blue, is all about depth and layers. Historically, Hautlence watches relied on leaping indications and retrograde palms, with full publicity of the mechanism driving these advanced shows. This hasn’t modified within the latest collections. The Linear Sequence 2 combines contains a scale on the left facet, displaying the hours in a linear means, due to an uncovered linkage. A small white pointer on the top of the linkage signifies the hour on the vertical scale.

The linkage then jumps and returns to the 1 numeral. Minutes are displayed centrally in a basic means, and skim on a sapphire crystal disc with raised white numerals. And naturally, the decrease half is dominated by the one-minute flying tourbillon below a blue openworked bridge. The dial right here follows the theme of the case, with most areas coated in gray or black, with only some elements within the model’s signature blue color.

The show module was created along with Agenhor. It’s mounted on high of the calibre D50, also referred to as the automated tourbillon calibre HMC 804 when encased in Moser watches.
