ColossalClose

Today, Hysek has the honour of presenting the Colossal: a major Grande Complication piece boasting unprecedented technology – the most ambitious undertaken by the manufacture in over ten years, featuring over 1,000 components.

This guide reviews the key milestones in the story of this exceptional achievement. Our aim is simple: helping you, almost literally, to get the feel of all the watchmaking complications and underlying decisions that have gone into the development of the Colossal.

The Colossal has no historical precedent. It’s a watchmaking Everest that cannot be climbed without serious levels of commitment. Designers, Engineers and Master Watchmakers have been working towards this end for years. A great deal of care has gone into creating every one of the aspects you’ll be learning about here. This guide is a first for Hysek, and we trust that the initiative will prove to be the perfect way of sharing the tireless labours of our watchmakers with you, as clearly and completely as can be.
