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.

Les Cabinotiers Solaria feature

Watches are one of our favorite topics here at The Manual. So, we all tend to tune in during Watches and Wonders in Geneva and await what awesome chrono-technology we have to look forward to for the year. This year, we were all graced with the unveiling of the most complicated watch in the planet's history. The Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Ultra Grand Complication is a sight and a wonder of innovation.

"Because it is the most complicated wristwatch in the history of horology, with an unprecedented 41 complications, the mechanism had to be arranged in the most logical and compact way possible," says Style and Heritage Director Christian Selmoni. "The main objective was to bring together all the main complications, timekeeping, astronomical, chronograph, and chiming, on a single base plate. Thanks to this construction, it was possible to create a wristwatch with harmonious proportions. Many of the innovations of this watch are related to the solutions found to avoid adding bulk and to gain in energy efficiency. The 72-hour power reserve attests to the latter."
