The 4N MVT01 Four Numbers Disc Watch by François Quentin

Published: March 09, 2010 | 06:22

An interesting new concept watch from new brand 4N is being developed by François Quentin, one of the co-founders of the very cool independent watch brand HAUTLENCE.

4N was born from the desire to create a simple digital display and propose a mechanical alternative to analogue timepieces with moving hands. The name of the brand is derived from "4 Numbers", which refers to the four digits on a digital counter which represent the tens of hours, hours, tens of minutes and minutes. For more, visit the official 4N website.

Limited edition of 16 in 18-carat white gold and 16 in platinum

You'll need a cigarette after being this intimate with the HL and HLS models of Hautlence. A great animated video of both styles of this exciting new brand. (previously featured here-->link and link)

At 3:05 of the YouTube video is when you finally see the kick-ass retrograde and jump hour functions of the watch. Or you can view it at their website in higher resolution in the HLS and downloads section.

Hautlence HLs Collection

Published: April 02, 2007 | 13:54

The second model from Hautlence (previously featured here), the brand new independent Swiss brand will display their new HLs collection at the upcoming BaselWorld watch fair. With similarities such as the mechanically visible retrograde minutes and a jump hour display that is blurred until the correct hour enters the porthole. The case has been streamlined and is available in editions of 88 of titanium, white gold and pink gold.

I'm glad to see they didn't cut corners this time.
