THE ARCHITECTURE
OF TIME, BY HAUTLENCE
Since it was founded in 2004, Hautlence has continually explored alternative ways of displaying the time. This ongoing quest has now found another exquisite expression in a new collection. Named Kubera, after the god of wealth and the world’s treasures in Hindu mythology, this line lays the foundations for a new watchmaking architecture.

A new case, a new aesthetic, a new movement: the Kubera Series 1 model combines a sculptural design inspired by Cubism and its fragmented approach to form with a mechanical, handless time display. Embraced by a steel case that extends into an integrated bracelet, seemingly carved from a single block, a jumping hour is paired with a peripheral minute display. Balancing graphic minimalism with tactile richness, Hautlence transforms the watch into an object as compelling to touch, handle and explore as it is to observe.

At Hautlence, emotion and sensation come first. This is exactly what the Kubera model evokes. Capturing the attention from the very first glance, its steel case features a layered architecture composed of successive levels that sculpt the light and enhance the watch’s three-dimensional presence, forming an almost monolithic silhouette. Each surface reflects the light differently, revealing a subtle interplay of volumes and textures.

The integrated bracelet seamlessly extends this effect. Its links cascade like a geometric sequence of articulated shapes, gradually decreasing in size to ensure visual continuity and a smooth fit on the wrist. The deep green dial echoes this same formal language. Its structured surface creates a subtle geometric relief that catches the light while preserving a strong sense of graphic purity.

The minimalist time display mechanism is equally restrained. The hour appears in a window, jumping instantly every sixty minutes. The minutes, meanwhile, are indicated with precision by a cursor moving around the dial’s periphery, guided by a track hidden beneath the surface. This element, an iconic Hautlence signature, embodies the brand’s graphic essence and its unique approach to giving time a tangible form.

The Kubera Series 1 is powered by a Lajoux-Perret self-winding movement, featuring an anti-magnetic escapement introduced for the first time at Hautlence.

The jumping hours and peripheral minutes module, developed by Agenhor in collaboration with Hautlence, completes this mechanical architecture and turns the act of reading the time into a dynamic visual experience, where the movement replaces the traditional hand.

In naming this new collection, the brand took inspiration from Hindu mythology. Kubera, the god of wealth and guardian of underground treasures, is associated with the earth, mountains and precious minerals. This reference reflects the watch’s aesthetic: an object with sculpted surfaces and rich textures, evoking the layers and contours of a material shaped by time.

True to its independent spirit, Hautlence breaks free from convention to offer a free and experimental vision of contemporary watchmaking. With the Kubera, it asserts a clear vision: watchmaking driven by design and by an unprecedented approach to displaying time.
