Earlier in September of 2016, while HYT’s new man at the helm, Mr. Gregory Dourde was in Singapore, kicking off his tour of Asia, he spoke to press and friends — outlining the incredible strides the brand has made in the short time since it has existed.
And now buoyed by the CHF23 million in capital that the brand has managed to raise to carry forward its ambitions for years to come — HYT has no doubt grown bolder (odd thing to say, when you consider the extreme timepieces these guys already produce).
Just before Mr. Dourde came to town, the brand had announced their new bespoke service, signaling that the company has become so brave in the knowhow involved in creating HYT watches that they are now able to allow customers in on the action to create truly unique timepieces.
Next Mr. Dourde announced that HYT was starting a program where their entire warranty period is being given a steroid shot to a 5-year period. On top of that, he’s also initiated what he’s calling the brand’s Squad Team, who will travel the globe to HYT’s various points of sale to provide HYT collectors with the upfront servicing that they deserve.
There was more — in fact, Mr. Dourde shared the entire road map laid out for the brand from 2018 all the way to 2023. But it’s not time yet to tell you that story. It is, however, time to celebrate a watch brand, three years in the making, who have achieved phenomenal success and with an incredible horological technology, the likes of which the world absolutely has never seen before
