At PAUSE Montres, we like to take our time to select the brands we offer. More than just a catalog, our main goal is to build a coherent universe of watches that we would enjoy wearing ourselves, giving as gifts, and introducing to our customers.
It is precisely in this spirit that we are pleased to announce the arrival of HTD Watches to our selection.
Still too confidential in France in our opinion, this young Italian brand has, however, been attracting the attention of micro-brand enthusiasts for several years. Its approach is simple: offer watches with original design, excellent value for money, with a true personality and an excellent level of finishing.
If you're just discovering HTD watches today, you're probably in the right place.

HTD: an Italian micro-brand created by two passionate friends
In a market where many brands sometimes resemble each other, HTD has chosen a different path. Based in Florence, Italy, the brand develops its own collections with a very clear vision: to create watches inspired by different sports universes while maintaining a strong identity.
Since 2020, HTD has been producing collections in defined quantities. Once a collection is sold, they are already looking towards the next. This creative spirit is HTD's strength: the Italian brand is dynamic, you never get bored. No more collections squeezed for several years to extract every last remaining euro.
This probably explains why the brand has gradually built a loyal community of enthusiasts worldwide.
Â
A worthy representative of Italian watchmaking
What immediately strikes you when you discover an HTD watch is its identity. The brand's designers do not seek to multiply artifices. The watches remain legible, balanced and comfortable to wear.
The attention to detail and the level of finish, at an affordable price, uphold Italy's reputation in watchmaking.
HTD joins Echo/Neutra and Venezianico in our selection of Italian brands, confirming our particular affection for this country's vision of watchmaking.

The different collections
HTD Hesagraph
With the Hesagraph collection, HTD explores the world of chronographs. This was also the first HTD watch to be released in 2020.
It features richly detailed dials, easy-to-wear color combinations, and a strong vintage inspiration.
The HTD Hesagraph is primarily for those who appreciate chronographs with character, capable of providing a real presence on the wrist.
This is probably the brand's most expressive collection.

HTD Aquatic
The Aquatic collection is probably the brand's most well-known.
It adopts the codes of a dive watch while adding a more personal touch.
It boasts excellent features for under €800:
- 200 meters water resistance
- Double-domed sapphire crystal
- SuperLuminova BGW9
- Premium Miyota 9039 movement
These are watches capable of accompanying you both daily and on vacation, with a style that never goes overboard.
For fans of "desk divers," the Aquatic is definitely worth a look.

HTD Tennis
More recent, the Tennis collection brings a lighter dimension to the HTD universe.
Inspired by the world of sport, it offers colorful, modern watches that are particularly comfortable to wear. It's a collection that perfectly matches the sport-chic spirit many are looking for today.
The Tennis models are often the ones that immediately catch the eye in-store.
Tennis Chic
A more elegant variation of this Tennis collection, the 4 colors that make up the collection are very versatile. With legible applied white indexes, a subtly sunray-brushed dial, and a 3-link steel bracelet, HTD has the recipe for a perfect everyday watch.

Why HTD watches are attracting more and more enthusiasts
HTD's gradual success is no accident. The brand now ticks several boxes particularly sought after by enthusiasts:
- originality and personality
- proximity to customers
- manufacturing quality
- consistent pricing
- strong identity
In a market sometimes saturated with very similar models, HTD offers a refreshing alternative.
It's a brand that maintains a human dimension and continues to produce watches designed primarily for enthusiasts. So it's only natural that they end up in the store, in Toulouse, at PAUSE.
Â
HTD: an alternative to major brands?
Many of our customers are now looking for something different. They are already familiar with the major brands on the market and want to discover more niche projects.
HTD perfectly meets this expectation. The brand does not seek to multiply launches or artificially renew its collections every season. On the contrary, it takes the time to evolve already well-established ranges, building coherent and dynamic collections. We particularly appreciate this more measured approach: the emphasis is placed on the product itself, on its identity and quality, rather than on a permanent succession of new products.
It's also an opportunity to wear a watch that you won't see on every street corner.
Â
Where to buy an HTD watch in France?
Recently, HTD watches have become available at PAUSE Montres, the first and only HTD retailer in France.
We are particularly happy to be able to introduce this brand to our customers, both online and in-store.
Our goal remains the same: to help you find the watch that truly suits you.
Â
Come discover HTD at PAUSE Montres
The arrival of HTD marks a new step in the development of our selection. We are convinced that this young Italian brand has its rightful place alongside the other houses we already offer.
If you appreciate micro-brands, watches with character, and projects led by true enthusiasts, HTD clearly deserves your attention.
And as always, the best way to form an opinion is still to come and try them on.
