HTD is channelling strong 1980s vibes with its new Miami Vice racing chronograph.
The pink-dialed Hesagraph Miami has a 39mm steel case that is a slender 12.4mm thick thanks to the lack of a rotor on a SW510 Special Elaborè Swiss hand-wound chronograph movement that powers the watch.
Watches are designed at the HTD workshop in Florence, Italy.
HTD stands for Horological Tools Department and the company was founded in 2020 by university friends Federico Del Guerra and Federico Zulian.
“We don’t make watches, we make tools,” they say.
“And so we bring back to life the spirit of the last century, the crazy one, characterised by motor racing on the edge of legality, exploring the depths of the sea and the good life away from the racetracks, poolside, or aboard hulls riding the waves. Let’s give watches back their true use as instruments.”
The HTD Hesagraph Miami is limited to 150 numbered watches and costs € 2500 plus local taxes.
It could be considered an attractive alternative to the sold-out Tudor Black Bay Chronograph made in pink for Inter Miami, the city’s soccer club that plays its home fixtures in pink.
Online orders are being taken now for delivery in December.
