The watch comes as the latest addition to their ‘MP’ or Manufacture Pieces collection which follows insane looking watches including the MP-05 LaFerrari with a 50-day power reserve, the MP-07 which was designed to look like an engine block. According to the CEO, Ricardo Guadalupe “With our Manufacture Pieces, we are taking the expression of our watchmaking savoir-faire very far and making the most of it to give each watch a specific aesthetic.”
And so, true to their words the new MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis is a watch that looks like nothing else in the Hublot line up. The first thing you’ll notice is the massive bi-axial tourbillon that was purposefully designed to be extremely visible within the case of the watch. To achieve this, Hublot worked to create a crystal that is composed of a three-sided sapphire letting the wearer be totally immersed in the mechanical theatrics of the tourbillon.
Built into the HUB9009.H1.RA manually wound movement, the tourbillon rotates on two axes where it completes a full rotation in 60 seconds on the first axis and 30 seconds on the second. Although this dramatic complication may be the star of the show, the movement offers other innovations too, namely the date corrector which can be set forwards or backwards via a simple winding of a lever. The movement also has a power reserve of 5-days and has been made entirely within the manufacture.
The Hublot MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis will be available in the brand’s signature King Gold (limited to 20 pieces) or with a titanium case (limited to 50 pieces) and there’s also an option which is encrusted with diamonds.
It is definitely a must-have!
