    If you're a fan of high-end watches and really want to stand out, one of your slicker options is HYT's H series. Instead of relying solely on spinning hands to tell the time, it uses a hydro-mechanical system that fills capillaries with fluid. Sounds niche? Well, it won't be for much longer: HYT and its sister brand Preciflex are receiving $23 million to fund not just more of these liquid-based watches (including at "different," likely more affordable prices), but to a "new type of fluidic jewelery." Preciflex has also been using it in the automotive and medical fields, too, so don't be surprised if you see the microfluidic tech grow there as well.
