[Watch House Brand News] Hublot, a well-known Swiss watch brand, has made huge investments in the industrialization of sapphire, successfully conquering this extremely difficult material and creating sapphires of various colors ( transparent, black, yellow, blue and red), mass production to meet the needs of different models. Given that the emerald color scheme cannot be completed in this material, Hublot has now explored a new path. Hublot uses innovative materials that have never been used in the watchmaking industry to create a case, and launches a new MP-11 watch that combines extraordinary technology and modern design. SAXEM material is turquoise in color, comparable to fine jadeite, and its wear resistance and lustre are comparable to diamonds. In this fully transparent case is inlaid the factory-made hand-wound skeleton movement, 7 serial barrels provide a power reserve of up to 14 days, and every detail is clearly displayed through the dial.
Green SAXEM material makes the new color of BIG BANG MP-11 watch
This new Big Bang MP-11 watch once again confirms Hublot's strong innovation ability in technology research and development and design aesthetics. By seeking advanced materials in the field of high-tech applications, especially in the satellite field, combined with the manufacture movement of the watch factory with a record level, Hublot is reinterpreting the concept of "the art of fusion". ——Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot
Hublot has once again demonstrated its position as an innovative leader in the field of watch manufacturing. Following the introduction of 3D three-dimensional carbon fiber and transparent sapphire case on the previous MP-11 watch, a new high-tech material was introduced for the first time. Applied in the manufacture of watch cases. The full name of this SAXEM material is sapphire alumina and rare earth minerals (Sapphire Aluminium oXide and rare Earth Mineral). To achieve its unique green hue, transparency and lustre, the Hublot Manufacture, a master of fusion, blends rare earth elements such as thulium, holmium and chromium with aluminium oxide, the base component of sapphire. The resulting material is harder than the soft and difficult-to-polish jadeite and more lustrous than sapphire. In addition, the SAXEM material has other advantages, such as the hardness of the material, which enhances the stability of the grinding process, and the cubic crystal structure allows the case to show the same color and saturation from any angle. The overall polished green SAXEM contrasts sharply with the six H-polished and microbead-blasted titanium screws on the bezel and the black titanium rubber-coated crown.
high performance machinery
On the basis of innovation and the blessing of strong power, the Big Bang MP- 11 watch is equipped with a hand-wound skeleton movement with a power reserve of up to 2 weeks. This is all thanks to Hublot's own spectacular movement architecture, 7 horizontal in-line tandem springs, which control the thickness of the movement to a reasonable 10.92 mm. Another technological breakthrough is that the power transmission adopts a 90-degree vertical worm-type helical gear transmission mechanism, which is extremely rare in the watchmaking industry, so that the power of the parallel shaft can be smoothly transmitted to the gear system that displays the hours and minutes. The balance wheel design at 2 o'clock on the side of the dial forms a harmonious symmetry with the spiral gear at 10 o'clock. The 270-component Hublot Manufacture HUB9011 movement features a new patented index assembly system, as well as a silicon escapement and other black components. The in-line drum time display is located to the left of the 7 mainsprings in series, visually connecting the words "DAY POWER RESERVE" engraved on the sapphire crystal. The hour/minute hands and hour markers on the dial are covered with green luminous coating for easy reading of the time. The sapphire mirror is anti-reflective treatment, and the green SAXEM bezel is raised in a drum shape, which has the effect of amplifying the power reserve display.
Limited edition of 20 pieces
The Big Bang MP-11 Green SAXEM watch can be wound by manually turning the crown with the worm-shaped nostalgic embossed helical gear or using the electric Torx stylus inspired by racing cars. The black twill rubber strap echoes the crown design. This ingenious fusion of technology and material innovation is limited to 20 pieces for connoisseurs.
