HYT is proud to reveal its first timepiece released in collaboration with the renowned artist, Fally Ipupa. The S1 5N Gold Limited Edition “Fally Ipupa” is limited to 8 pieces worldwide only and will bear the signature of the artist on the back case.

In a stunning fusion of high horology and cultural artistry, HYT Watches proudly announces the launch of its first collaborative timepiece with internationally acclaimed artist Fally Ipupa. Following the recent announcement in January 2025, this bold creation marks the beginning of a dynamic partnership between the avant-garde Swiss watchmaker and the Congolese music icon, renowned for his boundary-pushing style and global influence.

Fally Ipupa, whose career has redefined African music on the global stage, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “This project allowed me to explore time in a new way. HYT’s innovative vision aligns perfectly with the rhythm of my own creative journey. Together, we’ve created something timeless.”

The S1 5N Gold Titanium Limited Edition “Fally Ipupa” confidently presents itself with an ergonomic 45mm 5N gold and titanium black DLC case defined by its chiseled solid looks and softened by a subtle satin finish. The hydromechanical caliber 501-CM takes center stage on the new S1's open-worked dial. Its hypnotic presence won’t allow you to look away, although the pink gold shimmer of the angular case is an attention seeker just the same.

With its two small bellows and finely sandblasted and satin-finished movement parts, the movement's unique looks might be disruptive even after 13 years – the first hydromechanical HYT creation burst onto the watch scene in 2012.

The movement’s traditional characteristics include a Haute Horlogerie level finishing of all the individual components and a mainspring you need to wind by turning the 5N gold crown between 2 and 3 o’clock.

The open-worked S1 5N Gold Titanium Limited Edition “Fally Ipupa” is an idiosyncratic sports watch with an open-worked design that reveals its hydromechanical ingenuity and power and accentuates its intricate design. Every S1 Series represents ground-breaking watchmaking fueled by creative inventions and uncompromising innovation that’s astonishingly comfortable on the wrist.
