Hublot 2017 Baselworld: New Timepieces

Now a distinctive character trait, ‘The Art of Fusion’  forms the brand’s very DNA. Hublot’s story began with this motto, which now guides all its actions, its innovation, its developments and its partnership. Hublot is proud to present its newest timepieces for 2017 Baselworld:

TECHFRAME FERRARI TOURBILLON CHRONOGRAPH
A Ferrari Design for a Hublot watch celebrating Ferrari’s 70^th Anniversary
To celebrate Ferrari’s 70th anniversary, the Italian marque and its partner Hublot are presenting a new original collection. Conceived with the same approach used for designing a car at the Ferrari Design Centre and integrating Hublot’s watchmaking expertise, the Techframe Ferrari 70 years Tourbillon Chronograph opens a new chapter in the partnership that unites Hublot and Ferrari. The Techframe Ferrari 70 Years is available in three versions — King Gold, PEEK Carbon, and Titanium — each of which is produced in 70 limited editions. It is destined to be a collector’s item.

BIG BANG UNICO SAPPHIRE
Hublot celebrates a new world’s first. The Big Bang Unico case now features sapphire in an array of colours
For Hublot, it seems there are no limits when it comes to colour. Its application brings depth and distinction to materials. Hublot has now fused sapphire and metals to create a Big Bang case in blue sapphire — marking the first time this colour sapphire has been used in watchmaking. The Big Bang Unico Sapphire made its name in 2016 as part of the sapphire revolution. A year on from this world’s first, the Nyon-based manufacture is celebrating another in the context of its tireless pursuit of innovation and R&D.

SPIRIT OF BIG BANG SAPPHIRE
The watch mechanism exposed. Sapphire, the new Holy Grail of Hublot.
After the MP-05 “LaFerrari” Sapphire, the Big Bang Unico Sapphire, it’s now the turn of the emblematic barrel-shaped case of the Spirit of Big Bang to become transparent. When the decoration of your watch becomes invisible, the secrets of its architecture and its movement are revealed directly to your gaze. Thanks to 3D machining and almost 100 hours of work, the Spirit of Big Bang Sapphire is as hard and scratch-resistant as diamond (9 on the Mohs scale, versus 10 for diamond).

MP-09 TOURBILLON BI-AXIS
Hublot’s watchmaking expertise and creativity knows no limits. The 1^st Hublot multi-axis tourbillon designed for unique visibility, all-new case and movement made at the manufacture.
With its new Manufacture Piece (MP), Hublot is pushing back the boundaries in terms of multi-axis tourbillons. The MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis is thus the result of a powerful idea: to provide a maximum of visibility on the tourbillon—and its fascinating double rotation – by designing a fine watchmaking movement devoted to this objective, and then creating an original case that highlights the 100% manufacture calibre. Here, the function defines the form.

BIG BANG ONE CLICK ITALIA INDEPENDENT
The inventiveness of Lapo Elkan and Italia Independent is put to the service of women, for the first time since the partnership began in 2014.
The Hublot Big Bang One Click Italia Independent crafts black ceramic, diamonds and velvet. A deliciously elegant cocktail! A style maximised by the versatility enabled by the One Click strap’s interchangeable system. A concept of personalisation further enhanced by a material as surprising as it is chic: velvet, a fabric held dear by the Italia Independent house. It covers the strap and the dial. Three different colours are available: dark blue, blue and purple. And the three can be mixed with a simple click at your leisure!
