IO DOUBLE ORBITALEClose

The Double Orbitale is the latest addition to Hysek’s IO collection, based on a fully manufacture-made movement: the HW63 caliber.

The hours are displayed in a window at 12 o’clock, while the minutes and seconds appear on an orbital display, resulting in the watch’s name – “Double Orbitale”.

The minutes are displayed in a module that completes a full revolution around the dial. This orbital module includes a central hand that points inwards to the minute display: this takes the form of two semi-circles showing minutes 05 to 25 and 35 to 55: the time shown on the photo is thus 23.25.

The seconds are embedded within the minutes module itself. They are marked out by a smaller, more discreet hand, positioned beneath the minutes hand and pointing to another semi-circular display.

The piece comes in four configurations, combining a case in titanium or rose gold with either of two dial variations.
