No dial, no hands, no oscillating weight: Hublot pulled out all the stops for its original MP-10 Tourbillon, which transcends and defies conventions of all kinds. Just for starters, it took the Manufacture's watchmakers three years of work to deliver 50 examples of the first iteration to collectors who think outside the box. The new edition has now been announced, interpreted as two variations in black ceramic or translucent sapphire (50-piece and 30-piece series). Both materials - with which Hublot has been working for over two decades - showcase the MP-10 Tourbillon's breathtaking mechanism.
Past, present and future merge in a composition dominated by the 35° inclined tourbillon, flanked by the two linear weights of the automatic winding mechanism. The sculptural MP-10 Tourbillon with its 592 components features four permanently rotating displays: the hours and minutes in the upper third of the dial, covered by an invisible magnifying glass, the circular power reserve in the central third and the seconds in the lower third, directly on the tourbillon cage.
