HAUTLENCE

Hautlence is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 2004 in Neuchâtel by Renaud de Retz and Guillaume Tetu. The word “Hautlence” is an anagram of “Neuchatel”. The first watches featured a Peseux 7001 manual winding movement. Hautlence watches are famous for their original dials and cases but the brand sells high-quality watches. Hautlence’s first iconic collection featured the in-house “HL” calibre and was presented in 2005. Two years later, in 2007, the brand introduced the HLS sports range. In 2010 the brand annouched the third in-house manufacture calibre. In the current collection, there are four different lines. The first one, the “Concepts d’Exception” are the most complicated watches available. The second one, the “Atelier” collection is made of entirely in-house calibres and features innovative materials and shapes. The third one, the “Signature” collection embodies the everyday timepieces featuring outer calibres and a recognizable design. The last one, the “Playground” collection, is a collection of three watches which feature a game on the dial.
