Notes

Hautlence HL2.0 Titanium – Pièce Unique

A rare and mechanically spectacular PIÈCE UNIQUE from Hautlence’s innovative Concepts d ’Exception collection. Presented in a titanium rectangular case with multi-finish surfaces (satin-brushed, polished and sand-blasted elements) and full sapphire exhibition crystals on the front, back, and side for a full three-dimensional view of the movement.

The in-house automatic Calibre HL2.0 (552 components, 92 jewels) features the brand’s signature half-trailing jumping hours on a 12-link chain, central retrograde minutes, a power-reserve indicator, and the patented rotating baguette-style escapement bridge that turns 60° every hour to compensate for positional gravity errors — a ground breaking world-first at launch. It is equipped with dual barrels (one dedicated to the complications) and an automatic micro-rotor engraved “UNIQUE PIECE”.

Beyond its striking aesthetics, and thanks to the manufacturer, it comes as a complete set featuring a fitted box and a Certificate of Authenticity freshly re-issued by the brand in 2026. This is a rare, unrepeatable treasure that combines avant-garde innovation with a verified history.
