A French watch brand is shaking up the industry's codes with an innovative concept that could well redefine our relationship with time. Discover how this one-of-a-kind innovation will allow you to multiply your looks without breaking the bank.
A patented system that pushes the limits of customization
The Hegid house, a young Parisian brand founded in 2019, has made a sensational entrance into the watch market with its EVOL system. This patented innovation allows owners to change cases and straps in just a few seconds, offering unprecedented flexibility in the world of luxury watches.
The heart of this innovation lies in what the brand calls โcapsulesโ. These central modules house the movement โ โโan improved version of the Sellita SW200 automatic โ, the dial and the hands. Thanks to a screw-down crown, these capsules are water-resistant to 100 metres, ensuring their reliability in everyday use.
Technical ingenuity at the service of style
The trick of the EVOL system is a sophisticated bayonet locking mechanism. This technical feat allows the capsule to be inserted and secured in a case using just two fingers, by simply rotating the back of the watch. Changing the strap is just as easy thanks to quick-release spring bars.
In practice, this system is not only functional: its design exudes quality and demonstrates meticulous attention to detail. Each manipulation becomes a real pleasure for the watch enthusiast.
A collection that adapts to all lifestyles
Hegid offers its capsules in a variety of designs, complemented by an even wider range of cases and straps. With most of these items sold separately, a relatively modest investment can radically transform the look of your watch.
This versatility offers unprecedented options: a single watch can now take on several different roles. Whether itโs an elegant evening, a day at the office or a sporty weekend getaway, your Hegid will adapt to any situation.
An effortless French design
Hegidโs aesthetic language could be summed up in one word: โeffortlessโ. In a few clean lines, the brand manages to express a distinct character while infusing its creations with that typical French โjoie de vivreโ.
The result: the different cases share a family resemblance while each displaying their own personality. Some do not hide their sporty side while others opt for a more classic look, thus offering a wide range of stylistic possibilities.
The ideal solution for demanding travelers
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Hegid concept is particularly practical for travelers. Rather than carrying several different watches and storing them in the hotel safe, a single Hegid accompanied by one or two additional cases and a few bracelets offers almost infinite possibilities to adapt to all the activities of a business or leisure stay.
An artistic collaboration that pushes the boundaries of watch design
Hegid doesnโt just challenge the status quo with its EVOL system: the brand also innovates in terms of design. Around the theme of space-time, Hegidโs artistic director, Jรฉrรดme Coste, has designed a collection in collaboration with Hervet Manufacturier.
The co-founder of this company is none other than Cรฉdric Hervet, former artistic director of the electronic music duo Daft Punk. This collaboration gave birth to the Celeste, a watch with a charismatic faceted design that immediately evokes the futuristic universe of the group.
Combined with a uniquely designed dial and hands, the Celeste highlights the experience of time and space in a completely new way. Available in white gold, yellow gold and stainless steel in limited editions, this exceptional piece remains compatible with the rest of the Hegid collection, offering unlimited possibilities for customization.
The arrival of Hegid on the watchmaking scene undeniably marks the beginning of a new era. By combining technical innovation, avant-garde design and unprecedented flexibility, the Parisian brand redefines our relationship with the watch.
