HU-02
Horologically Unique has released the HU-02, a wristwatch tribute to Robert Cart's Art Deco Chronoscope design, famously seen in a Breguet pocket watch. The HU-02 features a rotating arrowhead motif with a wandering hour aperture, presented in a 38mm "disco volante" style case to evoke its pocket watch origins. This release taps into the current collector interest in jumping and wandering complications.
- Price: $3,850
- 38mm case
- ETA 2824-2 movement with custom wandering hour module
- 32 hours of power reserve
- Limited production
The HU-02 is a wristwatch adaptation of the Robert Cart Chronoscope design, originally a Breguet pocket watch, notable for its Art Deco style and a rotating arrowhead motif with a wandering hour aperture.
The "disco volante" style 38mm circular case with hooded lugs was chosen to maintain a pocket watch feel and keep focus on the dial.
Two variants are offered: naval brass with a cream dial, and steel with a silver dial and grained finish.
The movement is an ETA 2824-2 with a custom wandering hour module, decorated with perlage and Cotes de Geneve, visible through a display caseback.
The power reserve is approximately 32 hours, slightly less than a standard ETA 2824-2 due to the wandering hour module's power consumption.
Horologically Unique states that the HU-02 is "limited by production" and will not be remade after the current allocation.
