The Hublot MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium

At first glance, the MP-10 Tourbillon Titanium appears more like a piece of contemporary art than a conventional watch. And, let’s be honest, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, with dimensions of 54.1 x 41.5 mm, its case exudes a commanding presence, crafted from shiny microblasted titanium that exudes an aura of strength and refinement. This material not only enhances the watch’s durability but also contributes to its lightweight feel, ensuring optimal comfort for the wearer.

The dial of the MP-10 Tourbillon Titanium is a symphony of precision and innovation. Hours and minutes are elegantly displayed through anodized black aluminum cylinders, adding a touch of modernity to the classic analog display. The power reserve indicator, a vital feature for automatic timepieces, is seamlessly integrated into the design, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Meanwhile, the seconds are indicated by an anodized black aluminum element affixed to the suspended tourbillon, a mesmerizing complication that enhances accuracy by counteracting the effects of gravity.

Beneath the surface of the Hublot MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium

Beneath the surface lies the heart of this watch – the HUB9013 Manufacture self-winding movement. This intricate mechanism boasts a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, ensuring reliable performance even during extended wear. The skeletonized design not only showcases the inner workings of the movement but also adds to the watch’s futuristic allure.

One of the most innovative features of the MP-10 Tourbillon Titanium is its linear winding system, aptly named the Weight Energy System. Unlike traditional rotor-based automatic movements, this groundbreaking mechanism harnesses the kinetic energy generated by the wearer’s movements and channels it into the winding of the mainspring. This innovative approach not only increases efficiency but also eliminates the need for a conventional rotor, allowing for a more streamlined and visually striking movement.

Completing the ensemble is a black structured rubber strap, meticulously designed to complement the watch’s aesthetic while providing exceptional comfort and flexibility. The titanium deployant clasp ensures a secure fit, allowing the wearer to enjoy peace of mind knowing their timepiece is firmly in place.

The verdict

We have a confession to make: The new MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium isn’t really our type of watch, and chances are, you might feel the same. But what we truly admire is Hublot’s fearless attitude toward criticism. In a world where many brands tiptoe around feedback, striving to appease a hypothetical audience, Hublot marches to the beat of its own drum. They’re unapologetically bold, unafraid to break the mold and challenge conventional norms. And in an industry often plagued by uniformity, Hublot’s refusal to conform is refreshingly rebellious.

New Ming 37.02 Ghost watch draws inspiration from architectural finishes
Ming's latest platinum watch is reminiscent of architectural components
Ming 37.02 Ghost

Popular for its minimalist aesthetic, Ming is now setting the standards with a new titanium watch, based on a previous 2024 model, the Ming 37.02. While the latest model has the same design as the 2024 edition, it is accentuated by a brushed finish that reflects light stylishly, making the watch look more modern. Ming’s main inspiration for the new watch was metallic finishes from different architectural components—baffles, claddings, struts, and buttresses.

Every Ming watch aligns with a certain theme. The LW.01 model, for instance, is made from a lightweight material and holds the title of the lightest model from the brand. Given that architectural finishes inspire the new Ghost model, the casing is made of Grade 2 titanium, a material that can be molded to align with the architectural theme.
