Hublot MP-09 with futuristic technology aesthetics
As a young member of the top watchmaking family, the development of Hublot can be described as extremely fast. They only took a short period of time to become familiar with watch fans, and at the same time, they also quickly raised the complexity of the product to a considerable height. MP-09 is one of them.
Let’s first appreciate the overall appearance of this watch. The yellow-dyed 3D three-dimensional carbon fiber case makes the watch significantly lighter and has a strong texture. The irregular sapphire with a vertical angle and a rare and complex shape make the double-axis tourbillon All in all. In addition to the yellow color in my hand, there are three colors of red, green and blue. Only 8 pieces of each are produced, so they are quite rare.
The sapphire material on the dial and the 3D three-dimensional carbon fiber material case combine a large number of curved and angular elements. The function display of the dial is mainly composed of three parts, the hour and minute hands and the date part occupying 3/4 of the front of the dial, the fan-shaped power reserve indicator at nine o’clock, and the double-axis tourbillon extending to the vertical surface below six o’clock.
The usual tourbillon movement is placed under the mirror and can only be admired from the front. The tourbillon turns beautifully, but to see the side, sorry, it is difficult. And most tourbillons rotate around an axis. And this watch is dual axis.
The most interesting part of MP-09 is here. This sapphire mirror extends all the way to the lug part below the six o’clock position, so that you can see the tourbillon running clearly and clearly, plus the tourbillon surrounds two different The axis of direction keeps reciprocating.
The speed of movement of the dual-axis tourbillon of the MP-09 is also different. Let’s take a closer look. The outer side of the frame, perpendicular to the axis of the movement’s rotation, takes 30 seconds to make one revolution, and the inner speed is 60 seconds. In addition to the visual beauty to the wearer, the difference in speed is that the technical difficulty is greatly improved. More than 95% of tourbillons usually make one revolution in 60 seconds. The faster the tourbillon rotates, the higher the mechanical precision required and the more power consumption. Even so, the power reserve of this watch can still reach 120 hours, 5 days. In other words, you take it off on Monday morning and put it on at home on Friday night, with the tourbillon still spinning. Precise enough, beautiful enough, and practical enough.
Going back to the front of the dial, the area other than the nine o'clock position is occupied by the hour and minute hands and the date function. Its biggest features are two. The first is the sense of three-dimensionality. There are many watches with hollowed-out movements and many watches with three-dimensional surfaces. However, the MP-09 is the only one that perfectly combines hollowing and three-dimensionality at the same time. This is the truth. Prominent silver-gray time discs, yellow-embellished hour markers and hands make it easy to read the time. With the three-dimensional shape, it also enhances the sense of technology of the whole watch.
The left side of the time disc is composed of two semicircles, which is the date ring. The outer ring is the numbers 1 to 16, and the inner ring is 17 to 31. The current date display is distinguished by a yellow background. This is completely different from the traditional single-window date and analog date. From the actual effect, this new form is more eye-catching, and it is also one of Hublot's whimsical ideas on this watch. There is also a very practical function, and the operation is also simple. There is a date fast adjustment function button on the outside of the case, which is marked with D+1 and D-1. Push up to add one day, and pull down to subtract one day, both aesthetics. simplicity.
Because it is a 5-day power reserve, it is normal to place the power indicator at 9 o’clock. When the power is full, the pointer points to the longest white stick mark above. When the power is exhausted, the pointer points to the yellow stick mark below. . The entire power indicator disc is a very narrow sector, which is integrated with the movement below.
Going back and reviewing the creative layout of this watch again, the two o'clock dial allows you to see the time and date, the time indication part is in silver tone, the date ring on the outside is black, and the black and silver match highlights the silver. The fan-shaped power indicator at the nine o’clock position does not need to be read all the time, so the color matching does not need to be eye-catching. The large opening of the vertical surface below the six o’clock allows the most beautiful double-axis tourbillon of the entire watch to be seen at a glance. Hublot has divided these areas into extremely harmonious, not only beautiful, but also in line with user habits. The three areas are divided into three levels: low, middle and high, the tourbillon at the bottom, the power indicator in the middle and the time and date at the top. It can be seen that, as the most complex series of Hublot, MP has invested a lot of energy in all aspects of conception, design, production, assembly, and adjustment. There is no doubt about that.
Therefore, MP-09 can be regarded as a watch that integrates original aesthetics, advanced watchmaking skills, new material research and development and top processing standards. It is different from the traditional Swiss top watchmaking brand with a long history. Take an unusual path. Represented by the MP handed down series, the beauty of new materials, the beauty of new designs and the beauty of high technology embodies the essence of Hublot watchmaking.
