MP-10 TOURBILLON WEIGHT ENERGY SYSTEM TITANIUM: HUBLOT OPENS A DOOR TO THE FUTURE OF WATCHMAKING
The Manufacture's tenth MP revisits the
fundamentals of watchmaking: no dial, hands or oscillating weight,
instead a roller display, a circular power reserve and an inclined
tourbillon automatic winding by two linear weights.

The announcement of a new Manufacture
Piece (MP) is always eagerly awaited at Hublot. This MP-10 Tourbillon
Weight Energy System Titanium will be no exception. The piece is
immediately arresting. With its rounded angles, sleek design and
sapphire crystal of an unparalleled complexity, it houses a movement
which is no less sophisticated. A fusion of form and substance. The
mechanical and aesthetic power are inseparable – one of the key concepts
guiding the MP collections.

And at the point where they intersect,
the Manufacture offers a bold reinvention of the classic watchmaking
complications. These are avant-garde pieces which are resolutely
disruptive in their movement, display and complications. But they are
neither concepts nor exercises in style.

Like all the other
MPs, the
MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium is a complete,
accomplished and practical watch that will soon adorn the wrists of a
select few collectors.
Limited to 50 pieces
Instinctively, we seek to characterise
the piece in the time-honoured way... Firstly through the figures, which
make for impressive reading: 592 components, 5 years of R&D, 2
linear weights, 1 inclined tourbillon, a circular power reserve, for a
model to be produced in a limited edition of just 50 pieces.

Next, its indications. Here, things get a
little more complicated: The MP-10 has no hands. In their place are
four constantly rotating displays: the hours and minutes in the upper
third of the dial, combined with an invisible magnifying glass; the
circular power reserve in the central third, with a very clear green
zone and red zone; and the seconds in the lower third which are
indicated directly on the tourbillon cage. It is made from monobloc
aluminium, suspended and inclined, and a patent application is pending
for this unique mechanical configuration.

The piece has no dial: Hublot has fused
the calibre with the dial. The movement is the face and soul of the
watch. The gaze is drawn directly to the mechanism to read the time. The
MP-10 features a highly architectural design and a particularly
expressive movement built around volume and depth.

Yet, this in no way
interferes with reading. Instead, it makes it simpler. The time is read
from top to bottom, fluidly and naturally. The power reserve is
particularly expressive, with a two-tone disc (red and green) set
coaxially to the hours and minutes.

This design eliminates the traditional
space constraints, which are usually dictated by a central display in a
horizontal plane. The
MP-10 can be easily read vertically: hours,
minutes, power reserve then seconds. The movement of the eye is fluid
and natural. The indications are aligned. They share the same white
lacquer typography on black aluminium rollers. For each indication, the
current time is read via a red triangular marker.
Reinventing automatic winding
Its winding system follows the same
logic. A traditional movement is formed of a flat dial paired with an
oscillating weight on the case-back side. However, this type of
construction is incompatible with the MP-10. The piece has no dial or
hands, it is not flat, and it is read vertically. So, how is it wound?

The engineers at Hublot retained the
weight principle but verticalised it, just like the movement, then
duplicated it. On either side of the central architecture sit two blocks
of white gold, arranged on a vertical axis along which they are free to
move.

To prevent them from colliding with the
banking,
Hublot developed a system of shock absorbers. These two
vertical weights engage a rack and are able to wind the movement
bidirectionally – an exclusive
Hublot development for which a patent is
also pending, that gives the
MP-10 a power reserve of more than 48
hours.

The watch is wound manually via the crown at 12 o'clock, while
the time is set using a second crown nestled on the case-back side to
preserve the fluidity of the design.
Unprecedented complexity
The exterior is finally on a level with
the movement. While the case construction is simple (two pieces, middle
and case-back in shiny micro-blasted titanium), the sapphire crystal
atop it is Hublot's most complex to date, and combines inclined planes
on three axes.

The same applies to the integrated rubber strap – also
the most refined ever designed by the Manufacture. Until the next
MP...
