Hysek Watches, an Overview

Perhaps the name of the designer Jorg Hysek may not be very familiar to many.  But almost all people appreciate the designs made by him though the designer himself may not be known to some people. This is in keeping with the true tradition of creativity in all fields, literature, painting, sculpture and cinematography. The truth of the artist or designer is not in his person but in his work. That is why a name becomes unimportant in the long run. True art becomes immortal even when the artist is forgotten by posterity. This timeless quality of Hysek’s designs is indeed a lasting legacy to his name.

The stamp of Jorg Hysek can be found in great names like Tag Heuer Kirium, Breguet Marine, Seiko Kinetic, Tiffany Stream America and many models of Damiani. At first glance these watches are indeed dissimilar but on closer examination we recognize the signature of the master craftsman in all these designs. There is the unique Hysek style in all of them. It is this style that is successfully captured by the affordable replica Hysek watches.

We come to know of Jorg Hysek only by about 1999. Perhaps he was in a sort of voluntary exile till then. In the autumn of 1999 he decided to come out of his hide out and decided to come to the centre stage in the fascinating world of luxury watches. Each watch is known for their stunning uniqueness. They are full of power, audacity and stand apart in any milling crowd. It is due to the fact that a host of details have been packed into the watches. Hysek is trying to create a unique identity in his watches.

One of the central motifs of his design is the two arches. This theme is harped on all watches. This creates a powerful identity that cannot be missed. The dial is very classic is design but the image of classical nature is blasted by the display of only numbers 1, 5, 7 and 11. It is an amazing strategy of an artist who is traditional at the same time iconoclastic in design. The molded rubber bracelet fuses perfectly that the watch is no more distinct from the bracelet. This is a feature that you find in Rado.

Among the popular Hysek watches, Hysek Abyss Explorer seems to be very much loved by the watch lovers. Three versions of the watches are found. One has a white dial, while the other has a black dial. The third type is golden in look.
