Haute Time celebrated a special evening in partnership with Swiss luxury watch brand HYT to launch the brand’s newest collection: the H1 Colorblock Collection. Only fitting for the occasion, the group chose Soho hotspot and celebrity favorite, MAMO restaurant, to hold the intimate dinner. Here, guests experienced an evening of luxury as they admired the unique timepieces on display and indulged in the culinary excellence of Chef Massimo Sola.

The H1 Colorblock Collection is made up of three distinct colors: yellow, blue and red. Each radiant color features anthracite case in gun metal PVD, with the yellow version the most distinctive in the brand’s signature color, the blue the most subtle and the red the most radical and striking. Each timepiece features a new, ultra-resistant strap in fabric that was specifically designed to fit these models. Although this new collection just launched, it still holds some of the brand’s previous special features from contemporary models like the black liquid created for the H1 Full Gold, or the minute hand developed for the H1 Ghost, bringing old and new together to create one extraordinary model. Other models on display were the Skull Bad Boy, H1 Ghost, H2 Full Bronze, H4 Metropolis and the H3.
