Haute Time Meets with Bovet’s Pascal Raffy and Views the Brand’s New One of a Kind Pieces

HYT’s CEO Vincent Perriard and Haute Time Managing Editor Seth Semilof. On Thursday, I had lunch with Vincent Perriard from HYT and was joined with his Artistic Creator Xavier Casals. We met up at the Kempinski Hotel, as Vincent was excited to show the actual watch, since the last time we saw him was at Basel World, and he only had prototypes.
