The “T1D1” Mechanical Wristwatch

The very first model of the Hong Kong based watch brand is “T1D1 (Type 1 / Design 1)”, a sporty timepiece that mixes heritage design with modern creative ideas. Inspired by the vintage design of classic vehicle from the 1960s, the 45mm timepiece makes reference to the dashboard of the vehicle – the centre seconds sub-dial is an incarnation of the tachometer, while the upper minute display with a red line indicator resembles the speedometer, whereas the hour is indicated through a window at the 6H position.

In-house Automatic Mechanical Movement

To honour the Heritage of Haute Horlogerie, T1D1 houses a self-developed, locally manufactured automatic mechanical movement with 173 parts, and hence the model number “Caliber: 173”. The movement features a balance system with 4Hz (28,800 A/h) frequency, 21 jewels, sweep second, and offers up to 80 hours (3 days) of power reserve via a single barrel system winded with an efficient bi-directional rotor. The movement not only is an epitome and direct inheritance of Hong Kong’s century-long watchmaking craftsmanship, but also a bold gesture and an assurance in quality.

Interchangeable Outer Case with Unique Locking System

With Innovative and Design etched in their DNA, the watchmakers at H.I.D. painstakingly created a one-of-a-kind design with interchangeable outer case for the brand’s debut timepiece. For the ease of transformation, the start-up company conceived a simple yet functional patented locking system for locking the outer case securely on the inner case body. The quick release design allows the wearer to conveniently remove the strap from the case, then just unscrew the crown to unlock position, one can effortlessly switch for another outer case. To ensure that the outer case will be locked soundly, the manufacturer deliberately placed a four-point secondary locking system near the lugs area. With the double locking system in place, the watch is remarkably reliable even under extreme conditions such as vigorous sports activities.
