New for 2010. Hautlence is giving its "TV screen" style watch line a redesigned face. Inside the watch is the HL08 manually wound movement that features a dial for the hours, retrograde minutes dial with a really unique hand, and a small seconds dial (the most traditional dial of the bunch). The HL08 seems to play with three dimensionality. Everything seems to have height to it. Much of the dial is actually the movement, all nicely hand-decorated for a unique look which is all Hautlence. The case is in 18k white gold and 43.5mm wide by 37mm high (not really as large as it looks). Hautlence has made a great name for itself with these unique looking dials and ways to indicate time, but I think that have boxed themselves in a bit as it is hard to innovate or add complications based on what they have designed. Nevertheless, I look forward to what the brand will release next.
