Sapphire Case Ultra-long Power Hublot

Hublot is a famous watch brand that was established in 1980. It was acquired in 2008. It belongs to the LV Group together with TAG Heuer, Zenith and Bulgari, and has become the highest-positioned famous watch in the LV Group. Therefore, Hublot has been following the modern watchmaking style from the beginning. Therefore, in addition to the traditional complex functions such as minute repeater, perpetual calendar and tourbillon, Hublot can always "ingeniously" launch "innovative functions" that traditional watchmaking such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin do not have, such as long power.

Hublot's long power is not the 7-day long power of IWC Portuguese 7, but directly pulls the power to "tens of days", such as Hublot's most famous MP-05 "Lafa" (Ferrari cooperation model), which has a power of 50 days and is powered by 11 barrels. A special "small electric drill" must be used to wind the watch. Putting aside the public price of 2.4 million at that time, its huge "Iron Man"-like case alone is not a watch prepared for daily wear. Therefore, Hublot designed the "super long power" into a Hublot watch that can be worn daily, which is the Big Bang MP-11, with a power of 14 days.

MP-11 first uses the Hublot Big Bang case, and the size is reduced to 45 mm, which is now a normal size for daily wear. The round bezel has H-shaped screws on the bezel and two "small ears" on both sides of the case. MP-11 has various cases, among which the carbon fiber case and ceramic case are relatively low in public price. The best Hublot Big Bang replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hublot's ceramic case and sapphire case technology are the "top" among Swiss watches. Hublot not only solved the problem of yellowing of early sapphire cases after a long time, but also has a full range of colored transparent sapphires. This water blue sapphire model is the top configuration. Even the former president of Patek Philippe (the father of the current president, Thierry Stein) once said in an interview that the reason why Patek Philippe does not make new materials such as ceramics is that brands like Hublot are very advanced in new materials, and Patek Philippe does not need to dabble in them.
