he S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare represents an unprecedented collaboration between two worlds of excellence: Swiss horological innovation from HYT and the technological precision of Hulecos. This exclusive creation, limited to only 8 pieces, brings together in a bespoke presentation case HYT’s hydromechanical mastery and the Hulecos H1 device, offering connoisseurs a complete experience dedicated to the refined art of living.

HYT Watches and Hulecos share a common vision: pushing the boundaries of innovation to create exceptional experiences. Where HYT revolutionizes time display through its patented fluidic technology, Hulecos revolutionizes cigar enjoyment with its HMC² (Hulecos Moisture Cigar Content) measurement technology, a scientific approach that calculates the true moisture level of cigars, ensuring each one is smoked at its optimal point.

This natural collaboration celebrates the alliance of Swiss watchmaking expertise and the refined culture of cigars, two universes where patience, precision, and passion converge. The S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare embodies this philosophy in a timepiece that transcends its primary function to become the ultimate accessory for the enlightened enthusiast.

The S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare is not simply a watch, it’s an invitation to savor life’s pleasures with elegance and discernment. Distinguished by its color palette evoking the noble world of cigars, the 5N gold and black DLC-coated titanium case creates a luxurious foundation, while the dial reveals brown and rhodium coated brass that subtly recalls the texture and nuances of finely crafted tobacco leaves.

The 5N gold plated appliques bring a touch of golden warmth that harmoniously dialogues with the case, creating a subtle play of contrasts between the warm tones of gold and the earthy nuances of brown. The red liquid flowing through the borosilicate capillary tube adds a note of passion and energy, recalling the glowing ember of a perfectly lit cigar, a hypnotic focal point that captures the very essence of time’s passage.

This aesthetic coherence extends to the brown alligator leather strap, whose distinctive texture and warm tones echo both the dial and the wrapper leaves of exceptional cigars. Like a fine cigar developing its patina over time, the alligator leather ages gracefully, becoming more beautiful with each wear. The simple pin buckle in black coated titanium ensures secure closure while preserving the aesthetic harmony of the ensemble, and HYT’s quick-release system allows alternating with a pure black rubber strap for more sporty moments.

Like a great cigare, this watch requires time to be fully appreciated. Each glance at the dial reveals new subtleties, the interplay of materials, the hypnotic progression of the red liquid, the gleam of gold appliques. It’s a watch that invites contemplation, pause, and the present moment: values dear to connoisseurs who understand that authentic luxury lies in quality, rarity, and attention to detail.

To make this unprecedented collaboration possible, HYT and Hulecos have created a custom-designed presentation case specifically engineered to house both the S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare watch and the Hulecos H1 device. This bespoke solution transforms the acquisition into a complete sensory journey, where every element has been thoughtfully considered.

The case features two perfectly dimensioned compartments: the first welcomes the HYT timepiece in all its splendor, while the second houses the Hulecos H1 device, a precision instrument that revolutionizes the way enthusiasts preserve and enjoy their cigars. This dual presentation symbolizes the common philosophy of both houses: excellence is not limited to a single object but extends to the entire experience.

The owner of the S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare acquires not simply an exceptional watch, but a true art of living where every moment is measured with hydromechanical precision and every cigar preserved in optimal conditions.

At the heart of the S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare beats the remarkable caliber 501-CM, a 352-component masterpiece representing over a decade of hydromechanical innovation. This manufacture movement delivers a robust 72-hour power reserve while maintaining a precise frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

HYT’s fluid movement is based on a mechanism that is both poetic and radically innovative. The passage of time is displayed inside a borosilicate glass capillary with an internal diameter of just 0.8 millimeters. Two immiscible liquids, one red and the other transparent, circulate inside it. The boundary between the two, called the meniscus, acts as an hour hand.

This dance of fluids is driven by mechanical movement: the force exerted by the sensor activates one of the two bellows, located at 6 o’clock. Derived from the aerospace industry, this component has extremely thin walls, equivalent to a quarter of the thickness of a human hair. An essential micro component, the thermal compensator, then regulates the volume of liquid according to temperature variations, thus ensuring the stability and precision of the mechanism.

Beyond the retrograde fluidic hours display, the S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare features a central minutes hand, a power reserve indicator, and a small seconds hand – all coated in 5N gold and enhanced with white Super-LumiNova® for optimal legibility.

This patented technology, protected by seven patents and honored with the Innovation Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2012, continues to captivate watch enthusiasts worldwide with its unique approach to displaying time.

The S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare offers exceptional comfort thanks to its carefully studied proportions of 45.30 × 17.20 mm. The 5N gold and DLC-coated titanium case combines luxury and lightness, creating a perfect balance between wrist presence and daily wearing comfort. The 5N gold crown, positioned between 2 and 3 o’clock, allows smooth and precise manual winding. The domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment offers an unobstructed view of the dial and the hypnotic spectacle of the red liquid flowing through the capillary.

Water resistance up to 50 meters ensures everyday reliability, allowing the owner to wear their S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare with complete peace of mind, whether during a moment of relaxation with an exceptional cigare or in daily activities.

The Hulecos H1 device, proudly Swiss-made, represents a major advance in the field of cigar preservation. The Swiss-made Hulecos H1 device represents a breakthrough in cigar analysis. Unlike traditional hygrometers that merely measure the relative humidity of the air, a reading that varies with temperature, the H1 calculates the actual Hulecos Moisture Cigar Content (HMC²) of each cigar, revealing its true moisture level and readiness for optimal tasting.

This technological innovation empowers enthusiasts to analyze each cigar individually, determining with precision whether it has reached the ideal moisture level for smoking. The H1 can also monitor your humidor’s conditions, indicating the optimal relative humidity needed to achieve your desired HMC² level at any given temperature.

The H1 is equipped with a fine needle specifically designed to analyze the heart of the cigar, offering personalized recommendations to optimize tasting

By including the H1 device in the S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare case, HYT and Hulecos create a unique synergy: the watch measures time with revolutionary hydromechanical precision, while the H1 ensures that each cigar you select has achieved the optimal moisture level for the perfect smoke. Two precision instruments, two philosophies of excellence, one shared passion for perfection.

As expressed by HYT: “The S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare represents much more than a commercial collaboration, it’s the meeting of two philosophies that share the same quest for excellence and innovation. With Hulecos, we offer enthusiasts of fine mechanics and great cigars a complete and coherent experience, where every detail matters and where precision reigns supreme.”

Lucien Vouillamoz, CEO of Hulecos, adds: “We are proud to partner with HYT, a manufacture that, like us, does not hesitate to challenge conventions to create something unique. The H1 device and the S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare share the same DNA: revolutionary technology in service of passion and pleasure. This collaboration perfectly illustrates our vision of intelligent luxury, where technological innovation enriches the human experience.”

The S1 5N Gold Titanium Cigare is not a watch one buys on a whim, it’s a thoughtful acquisition, intended for those who understand and appreciate the value of innovation, the beauty of mechanics, and the pleasure of authentic experiences.

It’s a watch for those who know how to take time, who know how to savor, who know how to live.
