HYT x Seddiqi: When Time Flows Like Heritage



Three one-of-a-kind timepieces celebrate 75 years of passion for watchmaking and the art of crafting beauty.

On the occasion of Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons' 75th anniversary, Swiss watchmaker HYT has created three unique S1 Bespoke Edition watches, redefining the intersection of innovation and heritage. The S1 Seddiqi Titanium Green, S1 Seddiqi Titanium Blue, and S1 Seddiqi Titanium Sand each capture a facet of Dubai's journey, interpreted through color, movement, and the poetry of liquid time.

This collaboration is a dialogue between two worlds—Swiss precision and Middle Eastern vision—brought to life by a fluid mechanical heartbeat and adorned with a commemorative "7S" engraving.

Each S1 Bespoke Edition piece tells a story, narrating Seddiqi's roots and Dubai's rise.

Titanium Sand evokes the brand's origin story: in 1950, Ahmed Seddiqi realized his dream in the desert, a tribute to heritage and timelessness. Titanium Green symbolizes an oasis, a symbol of growth and prosperity, and embodies Seddiqi's role in nurturing horological culture in the region. Titanium Blue looks to the future, embracing the boundless horizon of the Arabian Gulf, where innovation and curiosity drive the brand forward.

Together, they embody the brand's philosophy: to view time not just as a commodity but as a cultural experience, blending tradition and modernity, craftsmanship and meaning.

Each S1 Seddiqi Edition watch is powered by the HYT 501-CM caliber, a 352-part mechanical movement that brings time to life through fluids. Two immiscible liquids, one colored, the other transparent, flow through glass capillaries, a nod to ancient water clocks, reimagined with aerospace-grade precision. The boundary where they meet—the meniscus—becomes the hour marker, a fusion of mechanics and physics that feels more like art than engineering.

Protected by seven international patents and awarded the Innovation Award at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, this patented fluid system is both radical and poetic, a poignant reminder that time, like life, is in constant motion.
