Hublot unveiled its 10th manufacture piece, the MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium, during the ongoing LVMH Watch Week. This model lacks a dial, hands, or rotor; instead, it features a roller display, a circular power reserve, and an automatic inclined tourbillon with two linear weights.

Displays
The MP-10 has no hands. Instead, it features four constantly rotating displays. The upper third of the dial displays the hours and minutes combined with an invisible magnifying glass, while the central third displays the circular power reserve with crystal-clear green and red zones. The lower third displays the seconds directly above the tourbillon cage. Crafted from monobloc aluminum, this unique suspended and inclined mechanism is patent pending.

The MP-10 has no dial. It is fused with the movement. The movement is the face and soul of the watch. When reading the time, your eyes are directed directly at the movement. The MP-10 movement features a highly architectural design and expressive features centered around volume and depth. However, this does not impede legibility; rather, it enhances its simplicity. The time is read from top to bottom in a natural, flowing manner. The power reserve is particularly expressive, thanks to a two-tone red and green disc positioned coaxially with the hour and minute indicators.

This design eliminates the traditional space constraints typically dictated by a central display in a horizontal plane. The MP-10 offers an easy vertical readout of the hours, minutes, power reserve, and seconds. The eye's movements are fluid and natural. The displays are arranged in a straight line, with white lacquered typography on black aluminum rollers. Each display features a red triangular marker indicating the current time.

Reinventing the Automatic
Regarding the winding system, traditional movements feature a flat dial and a rotor on the case back. However, this configuration is not compatible with the MP-10, so Hublot's engineers replicated it by keeping the weight principle intact but making it vertical, just like the movement. On either side of the central structure, two white gold blocks are positioned so they can move freely along a vertical axis.

To protect the watch from collision with a bank, Hublot developed a shock absorber system. These two vertical weights engage with a rack, allowing the movement to be wound in both directions. This is a patent-pending mechanism developed exclusively by Hublot, and the MP-10 has a power reserve of over 48 hours. The watch is wound using the crown at 12 o'clock, and the time is set using a second crown on the case back.

Unprecedented Complexity
While the case is simple in construction (two pieces: a polished microblasted titanium middle piece and a case back), the sapphire crystal that sits on top of it is the most complex in Hublot's history, with three inclined planes. The same goes for the integrated rubber strap, which represents the most sophisticated design in the Manufacture's history.
