Hublot Unveils One of Its Most Audacious Designs to Date

Hublot‘s timepieces have long been anything but traditional, but the Swiss luxury watchmaker has outdone itself with its latest watch. Dubbed the MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis Watch, the new in-house design is Hublot’s first-ever multi-axis tourbillon and is highlighted by a HUB9009.H1.RA caliber with a five-day power reserve. Shown within a 49mm case and massive window, the gorgeous bi-axial tourbillon rotates fully around one axis every minute will making a full rotation around the other every 30 seconds. In typical Hublot fashion, additional details abound and, in this case, include everything from a power reserve indicator and time display to two numerical date arcs and a date corrector lever.

Soon to be available from authorized Hublot dealers, the MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis won’t come cheap: the titanium edition is limited to just 50 productions and priced at $169,000 USD while there are only 20 versions of the King Gold model for $211,000 USD each. And, as if the design wasn’t bold enough, the watchmaker has also crafted a second titanium version that’s studded with pavé diamonds throughout.
