H1 Azo Project developed the science of resin: tinted fluorescent yellow, the brand’s favourite color, its polyepoxyde resin is translucent, four times lighter than titanium and three times as resistant to abrasion.
This hybrid interpretation of the concept has been given an architectural stage-setting better serving the purpose of the mechanical nature of the H2. A double barrel visible on the back delivers an 8-day power reserve to this patented fluidic mechanism that is more clearly highlighted in this new configuration, such as with the balance spring displayed at noon on its bridge. Another H2 feature is the 9 o’clock hand serving as a thermometer indicating if the watch is in its optimal temperature segment. Opposite the latter, the crown-position hand (H-N-R) indicates if you are either setting the time (H), winding up the power-reserve (R), or central (N) when the crown is in its original position.
The H2 last complication is the large structured minute hand with a “dephaseur angulaire” meaning that it jumps across the inner end of the bellows.
