Hautlence is a brand that from its inception used retrogrades and the TV shape for its cases, both becoming distinctive signature of their timepieces. We had been teased last year with a sort of table clock showing a playful way of displaying time with spheres, but for this Baselworld they took this into a wristwatch.

The HL Sphere is one of the coolest watch seen at the show and seriously made us happy to see such an original watch coming them.

Hautlence Watch, the independent watchmaker from La Chaux-de-Fonds, has produced some interesting timepieces since it was founded in 2004.
