When developing its own automatic chronograph movement, Hublot wanted it to be, like all its creations, the first, different and unique. As the soul of the watch, this “open heart” movement reveals its completely reinvented design, with a double coupling system and column wheel on the dial side, as well as a 72-hour power reserve. Its construction consists of 354 components that have been simplified to the maximum to improve its reliability and robustness.
For Hublot, materials are an essential element of watch design. They must merge with its design, while protecting its mechanism and resisting the adversities of the passage of time. For certain cases and bezels, the manufacturer has therefore decided to use high-tech ceramic, an ultra-hard and virtually scratch-resistant material (except for diamond) based on zirconium sintered at very high temperatures.
