HAUTLENCE – PLAYGROUND Labyrinth


HAUTLENCE ATELIER PLAYGROUND Labyrinth NEW

In 2004, HAUTLENCE shook the world of watchmaking by revolutionising the way we tell the time. In 2016, HAUTLENCE offers a new vision of time altogether: LABYRINTH, the watchmaker’s invention that does not tell the time.

HAUTLENCE is stopping time. Through the Playground collection, HAUTLENCE brings new chronometric element to the table, extending beyond the original goal of telling time. In an increasingly connected world where everything, including the time, is available at the push of a button, the Playground collection plays with the idea of absolute disconnect. Immersing yourself in the game provides a very necessary and pleasant slowness.

LABYRINTH is the first model from this collection, a useless yet entirely essential object: a game of skill worn on the wrist, a portable labyrinth requiring absolute concentration and skill.

It is a flashback to childhood where we allowed ourselves time to let our imaginations run wild and cut ourselves off from the rest of the world. The game is pulled from Sandro Reginelli’s youth, co-founder and CEO of HAUTLENCE, as a reminder of the out-dated games he played when he visited his grandparents when time came to a halt itself.

LABYRINTH may not tell the time; however, it is perfectly aligned with the excellence in watchmaking that is embedded in HAUTLENCE’s DNA. Moving the crown activates a clever mechanical lift, which feeds the ball onto the board using a camshaft system visible through the transparent backing.

The maze-like dial is carved in solid gold with a forged platinum ball. The titanium case is rectangular, going back to the brand’s roots. LABYRINTH is the ultimate luxury product, made according to the most authentic watchmaking traditions and using only the finest materials.

In a world dictated by time, HAUTLENCE has launched the Playground collection, a collection of mechanical games in an attempt to buy stolen time. The collection is due to expand in the future and is guaranteed to surprise you, again and again: nothing less than what you would expect from a collection of never-ending time games.

A Myth to the Future

Vuelo, a myth to the future, to a new era, a new concept that exceeds the limits, new challenges, new ideas. Time moves, and Cuervo y Sobrinos too.


Developed, designed and produced 100% in Switzerland, the cradle of Haute Horlogerie, Cuervo y Sobrinos combines perfectly the Swiss traditional knowledge with modern technology.

The case is designed with an incomparable complexity, its construction is highly sophisticated, with lugs separately built and perfectly screwed to the case. Their shape is highly in accordance with the pushers' design.

The “Vuelo” has a contemporary touch underlined by the multilevel and complex dial, with small seconds and minutes counters on the first level, 24 hours, index and numbers on the second level and minutes and seconds printing on the third level.

The stainless steel case diameter 44 mm personalized with “Vuelo” on the lateral side houses a Dubois Dépraz 30342 movement with date and 24 hours, a power reserve of 40 hours. A tachymeter scale is engraved on bezel.

A modern yet captivating look comes by the CyS designed hours and minutes hands in steel with white superluminova, a central second chrono in steel color with an empty triangular tip in red to highlight the Cuervo y Sobrinos blazon, and 24 hours hand shining-steel.
