Hublot vowed to push the limits of multi-axis tourbillon watches, and another brand new work (MP) was launched at the Basel Watch Fair. It all started with this extraordinary idea: a fully visible double-rotating tourbillon. In this regard, Hublot designed this exquisite self-produced movement, and created a new original case to highlight the movement’s mystery 100%. Practicality determines the sense of form, which also follows the design philosophy of the Hublot “MP” watch, that is, developing an exclusive movement for original functions, and specializing in external parts to highlight the characteristics of the movement.

   The Hublot MP-09 dual-axis tourbillon watch is equipped with the excellent performance of the MHUB9009.H1.RA automatic winding movement, with a 5-day power reserve. The dual-axis tourbillon exhibits the extreme beauty of mechanical movement. The first axis rotates every minute and the second axis rotates every 30 seconds, which is pleasing and interesting.

   The hand-held MP-09 Tourbillon dual-axis watch also stands out for its original date adjustment system. The design is original and practical, and the calendar can be adjusted quickly in both directions by simply pushing up and down. Multi-layered dial structure, alternating black, white and red, makes the MP-09 more elegant. Near the hour and minute display, the date display is arranged in two semi-circles, which can be changed instantly at different levels. A 5-day power reserve display is provided at 9 o’clock.

   In order to highlight the movement as much as possible-the ‘beating heart’ of the watch, the professional watchmakers in Hublot Watchmaking Factory have created a unique case for MP-09. The dial has a large hollow window at 6 o’clock. Through the super-complex three-sided sapphire mirror, the frenzied swing of the dual-axis tourbillon can be seen at a glance. This dual-axis design can overcome the influence of gravity more than the ordinary tourbillon.

   The watch integrates a number of Hublot iconic designs, including a 49mm diameter case and a water resistance of 30 meters. There are two styles: titanium and king gold (bezel / upper and lower plates / back). . As a super-complex watch with cutting-edge technology, Hublot’s MP-09 dual-axis tourbillon watch is issued in a limited edition worldwide: a limited edition of 50 titanium editions and a limited edition of 20 gold editions.

Crystal Treasure
   The jewels of nature are amazing. Among them, sapphire is representative in the precious gem category. From a scientific point of view, the mineral name of sapphire is corundum, which is the second-hardest substance. It is second only to diamonds and hardly wears. The watch industry also refers to synthetic crystal glass as sapphire.
