MARKET | Updates & Debuts HYT H4 NEO WHEN THEY DEBUTED IN 2016, the glow-on- demand dial on certain models of the HYT H4 only added to the already heightened wow factor built in to the entire premise behind this one-of-a-kind Swiss hydro- mechanical timepiece maker. In this just- released H4, the light source is under the dome at 6 o’clock. Two purple LEDs are activated by the wearer and immediately fl ood the entire dial with light. At night, the fl uorescent colored fl uid and the dial (made with fl uorescent particles) are energized by this light source and set the dial glowing. HYT emphasizes that no battery and no electronics are required here. Price: $95,000.
