Hublot stands at the forefront of cutting-edge technological advances and breakthrough research in new materials. Innovation and audacity make up the core of its DNA, while passion is its driving force.

Melding the past and future, the master of the Art of Fusion was the first maison to have dared to combine gold and rubber in the same watch. However, the trailblazing manufacture remains committed to traditional watchmaking by the most talented artisans of their craft.

Beyond revolutionary composite materials, the Art of Fusion is further expressed at the heart of Hublot movements. The manufacture is renowned for creating a range of unique in-house movements, such as the standout design of the Unico automatic chronograph.

Let's not forget the unparalleled power reserve of the Meca-10, Tourbillon and MP-11 calibres. Then, there's the radical motor approach with the MP-05's 11 barrels and record-setting 50-day power reserve.

In its slew of new offerings, Hublot takes a new look at watchmaking by merging high-tech materials with expert craftsmanship. Here, we single out the new models that caught our eye.

Simplicity is clearly the guiding principle when it comes to the movement. The watch has a sapphire crystal on the face and back, where the Big Bang's iconic oscillating weight is housed. Here, you'll find the perfectly adjusted compact MHUB1710 calibre in its 40mm space. Each surface is satin-finished for perfect legibility.
