Description

The HAUTLENCE Sphere Series 3 transforms time into kinetic art. Housed in a newly designed, more compact titanium case with a fully skeletonized dial, it reveals a hypnotic violet Jumping Sphere that brings the hours to life. On the left side of the dial, the sphere rotates on three axes, executing a mesmerizing ballet every sixty minutes. Driven by a differential with four conical gears set on crossed axes inclined at 21 degrees, it performs a gyroscopic jump—spinning, twisting, and switching direction up to three times before locking precisely on the next numeral. The effect is as architectural as it is emotional: a mechanical sculpture in constant motion. Opposite, the retrograde minute hand traces a suspended arc, gliding smoothly before snapping back to zero in one swift motion—an elegant punctuation to each passing hour. Beneath the openworked structure beats the manual-wound calibre A82, redesigned for the smaller case yet retaining the same 72-hour power reserve and mechanical drama. Light, daring, and perfectly balanced, the Sphere Series 3 captures the essence of HAUTLENCE—where mechanics become movement, and time becomes theatre. Limited to 28 pieces worldwide.

Details

Rectangular Horizontal Case

Dimensions: 37.0 × 45.0 × 17.4 mm (11.5 mm without crystal)
Due to the integrated bracelet and absence of lugs, the watch wears extremely comfortably and appears smaller on the wrist.
Grade 5 titanium — satin-finished surfaces with finely polished angles
Water-resistant to 10 ATM — a notable achievement, as rectangular cases are typically harder to seal effectively

Dial Design

Spherical jumping hours at 9 o’clock: a polished titanium “orb” with violet coating and luminous numerals that rotates on three axes via a conical-gear differential—visual drama every hour.
The sphere’s jump follows a ~450° choreography (~1¼ turns) to reach the next hour, creating those mesmerizing, gyroscopic direction changes you feel on the wrist.
Retrograde minutes at 3 o’clock on a sapphire minute track with 3D Globolight® indexes—white by day, electric blue by night. Titanium minute hand with purple PVD treatment and white Super-LumiNova®
Architectural, skeletonized, openworked stage with frosted and bevelled surfaces that showcase the gearing and the retrograde mechanism.

Function & Talking Points

Hours: instantaneous jump on the sphere; motion driven by four conical gears on two crossed spindles
set at 21°—the secret behind that seemingly random, multi-axis spin.
Minutes: sweeping retrograde that snaps back at :60, synchronised with the hour jump.
