When it unveiled its revolutionary MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium watch earlier this year, Hublot introduced a concept that uses linear axes each with gold weight instead of a traditional rotor to power the watch. Powered by the new 592-part movement, HUB9013, the watch boasts a patent-pending system wherein two vertical linear solid-white-gold weights on either side of the center time display wind the movement bidirectionally and are protected by a Hublot-developed system of shock absorbers. The watch also features two new patents, including multiple rotating roller-like displays across the watch to indicate hours, minutes and power reserve. The seconds are indicated directly on the inclined (tilted) tourbillon (that compensates for errors in timekeeping due to the force of gravity on it when it is in certain positions). Devoid of a dial and hands, the rectangular watch is being made in a limited edition of 50 pieces.

Fusing the past and present, craftsmanship with innovation and art with timekeeping, Hublot creates futuristic timepieces that despite their convention to watchmaking tradition, are truly unconventional. The first brand to dare combine gold with rubber in the same watch and to create an entirely ceramic-encased tourbillon, Hublot does not follow the pack. From its unique Unico automatic chronographs, revolutionary motor functions and unparalleled power reserve found in the Meca-10 tourbillon and MP-11 calibers, Hubolt pays homage to all scopes of human capability.Having partnered with sportsmen, artists, musicians and chefs, the brand's creative potential is also constantly challenged and refined in having to accommodate all wrists. Working also with Kevin Pietersean and his platform Save Our Rhino, and with the Polar Pod - a zero-emission, ecological explorer vessel - Hublot's dedication to being futuristic not only lies in its design, but in its values that seek to preserve our planet.
