Introducing a flamboyant watch from a flamboyant brand, the Jorg Hysek V-King.

To fully appreciate the watch, it is essential to understand the man behind it, one of the most influential yet often understated figures in modern watch design.

Jörg Hysek ranks among the most renowned and successful watch designers of the late 20th century, a creative force whose work helped define the visual language of modern luxury sports watches.

Born on May 14, 1953 in East Berlin, Hysek moved with his family to Geneva in 1960, shortly before the construction of the Berlin Wall. He studied micromechanics in Biel and later trained as a watchmaker in Pforzheim. His artistic ambitions led him further into sculpture studies at the London Academy of Art, an influence that later became central to his design philosophy.

Hysek began his career at Rolex before founding his own design studio, Hysek Styling, through which he collaborated with some of the most prestigious names in Swiss watchmaking, including Vacheron Constantin, Breguet, Cartier, Omega, TAG Heuer, Tiffany & Co., and others.

Hysek lead the design of "Project 222" for Vacheron Constantin, which later became the Overseas model, though many erroneously credit it to Gerald Genta. His work earned major recognition, including the Grand Prix de la Ville de Genève.

In 1999, he launched his own brand, Hysek, continuing his vision of independent, design-driven watchmaking.

Hysek is often described as the “architect of modern sports watches”, thanks to his sculptural, structural approach to case design where form, tension, and proportion matter as much as function.

***********************************************

Hi there! I’m a long-time watch enthusiast and collector with over 20 years of experience in the hobby. I’m mainly into Japanese watches: Grand Seiko, high-end Seiko, Casio Oceanus — basically anything that offers great value and proper watchmaking without the silly price tags. I like watches that punch above their weight, and that’s exactly the type I tend to buy, wear, and sell.

Every watch I sell is carefully inspected and photographed by me. I take pride in showing the watch honestly — no hidden marks, no stock photos, no surprises. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you’ll receive.

I’m based in Lixnaw, Co. Kerry and have built a solid track record here on Adverts.ie for being straightforward, reliable, and easy to deal with. I don’t entertain lowballing, as my prices are already fair. Lowballers and other 'exotic offer' experts, please ignore this sale.
And just to be fully clear: I’m not looking for swaps or part exchanges. I prefer straight cash sales only.

All my watches are graded using my standardised condition scale:

N (New) — unworn condition. Typically includes full set (box, papers, tags).

S (Like New) — almost indistinguishable from new. No visible scratches or marks. Crystal and case flawless.

A (Excellent) — Lightly worn with minimal signs of use. Minor hairline scratches visible only on close inspection.

V (Very good) — Gently used with only minor signs of use; the crystal may carry minor traces consistent with normal wear, but they do not stand out. Overall condition remains clean and attractive.

B (Good) — Regularly worn with moderate signs of use. Noticeable scratches on case or bracelet; crystal may have faint marks but remains in good condition.

C (Fair) — Clearly worn with pronounced scratches, dings, or crystal marks. Functional but cosmetic wear is obvious; may benefit from servicing.

Cheers!
