Geneva Watch Days, our way.

A unconventional perspective on time, with Geneva as the backdrop.

From the wrist to the table, Hautlence finds its place in the moments that make Geneva Watch Days memorable.

Time, served differently.

Geneva Watch Days, in excellent company.

A special moment with René Schmitt, celebrating independent watchmaking, creativity and a shared passion for approaching time differently.

Proud to be in Geneva, where remarkable people, ideas and timepieces come together.

In the lead up to our art installation at Geneva Watch Days 2026 in partnership with Gallerist Rene Schmitt, artist Via Lewandowsky offers us an explanation and contemplation on time and our relationship with it. We at Hautlence love to take the opportunity to allow our collectors to think about and feel time differently; and this installation is an extension of this intention.

Come an experience Via’s thought provoking experiential art installation at the Beau Rivage hotel in Geneva from the 2nd to the 6th of September on the 5th floor, in the Imperial suite - presented alongside our latest innovations.

To book an appointment please contact [email protected] as soon as you can, so we can facilitate your visit.

A special shout out to our unexpected guest 🐝

Announcement: Hautlence at Geneva Watch Days.

For five days in September, Hautlence steps outside the usual booth format. Working with artist Via Lewandowsky and gallerist Rene Schmitt, we’ve built an installation that treats the watches as part of the room, not apart from it. Sculpture and horology sharing the same air.

2–6 September. Open Wednesday through Saturday, 9am to 7:30pm, Sunday until 4pm.

Appointments open to press and public. Write to [email protected] to secure a slot.

See you there.

Announcement: Hautlence at Geneva Watch Days.

From 2–6 September we open the doors of the Imperial Suite at Beau-Rivage, Geneva, to present our latest novelties in an immersive setting created in collaboration with artist Via Lewandowsky and gallerist Rene Schmitt. An original art installation, conceived to sit alongside the watches themselves, offering collectors and fans a new way to experience Hautlence.

Wednesday to Saturday, 9am–7:30pm. Sunday, 9am–4pm.

Press and public are warmly invited to reserve a time slot to view the new releases and the installation in person. Contact [email protected] to secure your appointment.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Convention is comfortable. The Helix isn’t interested.

Rather than a smooth sweep or a hand that eases forward unnoticed, the hours arrive twice a day as a jump, staged where anyone can see it. Two arms hold their position for twelve hours at a time, then release together in a single coordinated instant, arriving without warning and needing none. For the rest of those twelve hours, they simply hold still, refusing to move before their moment comes.

Every part of the construction argues against the easier path. A bridge is shaped to be seen rather than concealed. A spring is wound upward instead of flat, because flat was never really the point here. The watchmaker builds a mechanism that most collectors have never had reason to understand, then places it at the very centre of the watch instead of tucking it away.

What emerges from all of this is not a watch content to fit in. At its centre, a tourbillon turns continuously, governed by a hairspring coiled into a true helix, the geometry that gives the watch both its name and its character. Two arms extend outward from that rotating heart, and twice a day, entirely on their own terms, they make the hour impossible to ignore.

Most watches tell you where you stand. The Vagabonde tells you where you’re going.

Its TV-shaped case refuses the round dial’s easy symmetry, choosing sharp lines that catch light instead of hiding from it. Every plane is deliberate, built to shift depending on where you’re standing when you look.

The wandering hours don’t sit still. They drift across the dial in a slow orbit, never settling into the fixed position convention expects. Time here isn’t a location. It’s a trajectory.

At 6 o’clock, a flying tourbillon holds the whole composition together, spinning in open air with nothing above it to get in the way. It’s not performing for anyone. It’s just running, the way a mechanism does when it stops worrying about being watched.

This isn’t a watch that tells time. It’s one that stages it.

Some collaborations are purely transactional. Ours with Agenhor is anything but.

The Geneva-based atelier has worked alongside us across multiple references, each time taking a brief built on creative ambition and translating it into functioning mechanical architecture. They don’t produce off-the-shelf complications. Every module they develop is conceived from scratch, tailored entirely to the brand it serves, from initial technical design through prototyping, quality control, and final assembly.

What makes Agenhor different is the philosophy behind the engineering. They build complications where apparent simplicity conceals absolute mastery, a balance between the beauty of movement and horological logic. That alignment with how we think about watchmaking is why the relationship works.

For the Kubera, that process reached a new level of complexity. The result is a movement that reflects both what Hautlence demands aesthetically and what Agenhor is capable of mechanically. Neither half of that equation compromises the other.

This is what genuine creative partnership in haute horlogerie looks like.

Speed has a shape. You see it in a racing line, in the tension of a bodywork curve, in a case that refuses convention.

At Speedlab Scaldasole with Motoring Attitude during the Milano Design Week, Hautlence placed the Kubera in the company it belongs to, surrounded by historic racing cars and motorcycles that redefined motion. At the centre, a handmade glass sculpture by designer Astrid Luglio suspends the watch mid-air, as if time itself were in flight.

Launched at Watches and Wonders 2026, the Kubera Series 1 marks a new chapter for the brand. Its eight-sided, pyramid-tiered case houses a 244-component movement based on the self-winding La Joux-Perret B60 calibre, upgraded with an anti-magnetic escapement making its Hautlence debut. The jumping hours and peripheral minutes module, co-developed with Agenhor, eliminate traditional hands: the hour jumps instantaneously through an octagonal aperture, while a turquoise cursor traces the dial along a hidden peripheral track. Beneath it all, a 70-hour power reserve runs in near silence.
