What started as a secret surprise at the 2024 Watches & Wonders in Geneva is now the talk of the town. HAUTLENCE is pleased to announce the RETROVISION ’47 Limited Edition, based on the striking and unique RETROVISION ’47 watch. Launched initially as a buzz-worthy watch during the watch show, the watch attracted a lot of attention and won the hearts of the media, retailers, and watch collectors. Cheap replica watches.
It all started with a simple question: “What if…?”. For the brand’s 20th anniversary, HAUTLENCE imagined what it would have created if it had been born in the 1940s. The positive response to the watch at the watch show was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise and a perfect affirmation of the brand’s 20th anniversary. Therefore, HAUTLENCE launched the RETROVISION ’47 Limited Edition watch, and only ten pieces will be available.
Hautlence’s distinctive rectangular case with rounded edges is inspired by the shape of old televisions, which showed exciting programs. Therefore, the TV-shaped case best interprets the brand’s unique and intelligent mechanical watchmaking. But what if Hautlence was founded in the 1940s instead of 2004?
The Hautlence RETROVISION’47 Limited Edition watch looks like this old radio receiver, with a rectangular hand-painted titanium case with soft rounded corners and green and white marble patterns. The inspiration for this outstanding piece is not the old TV, but it is pretty close. In the 1940s, General Television & Radio Corp. Chicago manufactured a radio receiver called the “Model 5A5”, whose design became the template for the overall shape of televisions at the time, including the separation of the screen and speakers and the dial and knobs. The Model 5A5 of Chicago General Television Broadcasting Company is easy to move around the house and more like a sculpture with a striking visual effect, representing the perfect combination of form and function, presenting a unique look of its own.

The titanium connectors that serve as lugs are like radio handles, and the crown is located at 6 o’clock to maintain symmetry. The red leather strap adds a retro touch to this extraordinary masterpiece from another timeline in a parallel universe.
The RETROVISION’47 limited edition watch is the most traditional watch Hautlence has ever made, as it has regular hour and minute dials and central hands. The off-center subdial on the right is covered with a rectangular flat sapphire glass, and the red hand presents the 3D shape of the FM dial. The dial is brass and 2N gold and is decorated with a relief pattern of the Hautlence Möbius ring logo. On the left side of the case is the “speaker” grille, and below the grille, the wearer can see the 60-second flying tourbillon rotating.
The back of the case imitates the bottom of the Model 5A5 radio receiver, and the brand name and serial number are engraved on both sides. The round sapphire transparent caseback displays text information in the same style as on the radio and offers a glimpse of the D20 automatic movement with a 72-hour power reserve.
Ingenious, evocative, and extraordinary, the RETROVISION’47 limited edition watch is a re-imagination of the past and the present, showcasing the remarkable watchmaking creativity and novel and unique artistic conception that the brand represents.
