1 minute read
The new Hublot Manufacture calibre – the HUB1201 – sees its mechanism housed in a case made from Magic Gold, the first scratch-resistant gold and the hardest variety in the world, developed and patented by Hublot with the EPFL five years ago.

The Big Bang Meca-10 Magic Gold is the very archetype of the Hublot philosophy. This watch confirms the Maison's pioneering spirit, one which sees materials as an endless source of possibilities and movements as the opportunity to escape watchmaking norms.

This new timepiece comes in a 45 mm case in Magic Gold, a unique material, the pure product of the brand's innovation. Certified by the Central Office for Precious Metals Control, only diamond is capable of machining Hublot's 18-carat gold. It is the first scratch-resistant gold in the world and demonstrates a hardness of almost 1000 Vickers. Now produced at the brand's manufacture in Nyon, this patented material was created by the fusion of 24-carat gold and ceramic.

The Big Bang Meca-10 Magic Gold is equipped with the new Hublot Manufacture calibre, the HUB1201. Two parallel barrels with a rack-driven power reserve indication system, two racks sliding on a 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock axis thanks to a rack and pinion system, a double power reserve display, and a Meccano-inspired architecture for an innovative construction. On the dial side, the Big Bang Meca-10 Magic Gold reveals the mechanics of the movement and the unusual architecture of its rack-driven 10-day power reserve. Its manually wound skeleton mechanism displays the regulating organ at 7 o'clock, paired with small seconds.
