Hublot, the renowned Swiss luxury watchmaker, continues to push the boundaries of innovation with the debut of its latest masterpiece, the MP-11, now adorned in a captivating water blue sapphire hue. This new addition to Hublot’s iconic MP collection marks a significant milestone, showcasing the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence and creativity in watchmaking.
Originally introduced at Baselworld 2018, the MP-11 instantly captivated enthusiasts with its groundbreaking design and unparalleled performance. Six years on, it remains a symbol of innovation and sophistication, setting the standard for avant-garde timepieces.
At the heart of the MP-11 lies its sculptural 7-barrel movement, boasting an extraordinary 2-week power reserve. This feat of engineering is a testament to Hublot’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking. The vertically aligned barrels, set at 90° to the movement, deliver an impressive 336 hours of power reserve, thanks to a unique 90° transmission system utilizing a helical worm gear.
The MP-11 is powered by the Hublot HUB9011 calibre, featuring 270 components and a patented index-assembly system. Its silicon escapement ensures optimal performance, protecting the movement from electromagnetic and thermal interference.
In a striking visual representation of its power reserve, a slowly rotating disc indicates the remaining energy directly at the head of the seven aligned barrels, magnified by the sapphire crystal. This attention to detail extends to the manual winding mechanism, which can be operated using either a large fluted crown or an electric Torx stylus.
While the MP-11 has been celebrated for its daring aesthetic interpretations, including ceramic, SAXEM, and 3D carbon, the latest iteration introduces a new era of elegance with its water blue sapphire construction. Developed through a custom chemical formula and exclusive transparency index, this unique shade epitomizes Hublot’s mastery of sapphire.
The water blue sapphire maintains all the exceptional properties of sapphire, including brilliance, durability, and resistance to scratches. Achieving this flawless finish required meticulous attention to detail and several years of development and testing to ensure impeccable water resistance and longevity.
With the unveiling of the MP-11 in water blue sapphire, Hublot continues to redefine the boundaries of luxury watchmaking, combining innovation with timeless elegance. As a true “Manufacture Piece,” it embodies the spirit of excellence that has defined Hublot for decades.
