Dominique Renaud Joins HYT Watches
Earlier today at the new HYT headquarters in Neuchatel, the "hydro-mechanical horologists" announced that concept watchmaker Dominique Renaud? (the "R" in APRP) would join the team as head of the?Fine Watchmaking department - presumably an arm of the company involved in items such as the HYT H2 watch and what is meant to come next.In case you're wondering who on earth Dominique Renaud is, his last name should ring a bell. A graduate of the National Watchmaking School of Besan?on back in the 1970's, Dominique went on to work as a watchmaker at Audemars Piguet. While working at their skeleton workshop, he met another talented watchmaker by the name of Giulio Papi. Both having a thirst for working with complications, they decided to leave Audemars Piguet and set up their own manufacture, Renaud et Papi. With a mission to come up with totally new complications and build on existing ones (this was back in 1989), it didn't take long for their former employer to take interest in their work.In

White Metals
garner interesting opinions. Some think them to be too cold, while others think they are very cool.I think it would be very cool to obtain a platinum chrono piece (perhaps a pre-owned ALS Datograph or PP 5960P/Blk dial) to join the other two white metals I have. Then I could have a trilogy of metals. But in the meantime, I shall enjoy the other two white metals - steel and white gold & appreciate them for what they offer.
