Hysek Unveils the IO 45mm Skeleton Tourbillon A Radiant Redesign of a True Classic
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – October 29, 2024
This ultra-minimalist masterpiece continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking with its bold aesthetic and technical innovation. The new model boasts two unique sapphire crystals, which transform the timepiece into a radiant display of light and artistry. The front crystal features engraved hour markers, eliminating the need for a dial, while the back showcases an intricate sunburst guilloché motif, drawing light through the watch to create an extraordinary visual effect.
First introduced at BaselWorld 2014, the IO Skeleton Tourbillon became an instant icon with its striking 49mm diameter and transparent skeleton design. The 2024 edition preserves the watch’s minimalist spirit while offering a more understated 45mm case size for enhanced wearability. The tourbillon, located at 11 o’clock, and the asymmetrical layout of the components remain at the heart of this timepiece, a signature of Hysek’s creative genius.
In addition to its captivating design, the IO Skeleton Tourbillon is driven by Hysek’s in-house HW14 calibre, a manual-wind movement composed of 164 hand-decorated components. The barrel is positioned at 7 o’clock, balancing the timepiece’s unique geometry. The watch offers an impressive 74-hour power reserve and is decorated with Hysek’s hallmark Rose des Vents finish, a rare and intricate compass rose pattern that embodies the maison’s dedication to fine craftsmanship.
With engraved Roman numerals on the inner side of the sapphire crystal, Hysek has removed the need for a traditional dial, further enhancing the timepiece’s ethereal, contemporary look. This minimalistic design, combined with the tourbillon and skeletonization, makes the IO 45mm Skeleton Tourbillon an extraordinary fusion of past and present, blending the best of traditional watchmaking with modern innovation.
