The HYT Skull Green Eye combines futuristic aesthetics and classic horology with fluid technology. Two large cylinders encircling the skull are the focus of the multi-layered dial. Interestingly, as time passes fluid is pressed from one through the clear tube around the dial, the exclusive "capillary" system does not display the minutes but only the hours which are shown on the outer chapter ring. The minutes can only be gauged roughly based on the position of the liquid between two hour markers.  Once the hour reaches 6 o'clock, the fluid is released and returns back to the originating piston, to begin progressing for the next 12 hours. This is achieved through a mechanical movement to the top half of the watch, which houses the cam influencing the fluid pistons, as well as the dial for power reserve indication and seconds.

Limited in only 50 pieces, this timepiece is not only for villains but all watch enthusiasts with quirky sense of humour.
