Hublot MP-13 Bi-Axis Tourbillon and Bi-Retrograde Complication Watch Review

Hublot once again defies tradition and pushes boundaries with the launch of a new watch model named "MP-13." Housed in a 44mm case crafted from brushed titanium, the MP-13 combines two complications – a tourbillon and a retrograde display – for the first time in a single watch. More importantly, these are not common complications. Best Hublot clone watches online, buy replica watches at firstwatchclone.co.

Firstly, the bi-axial tourbillon's structural design is a feat in watchmaking, and Hublot is one of the few watchmakers capable of independently manufacturing a bi-axial tourbillon. In 2017, Hublot first introduced this bi-axial tourbillon in the MP-09 movement. This bi-axial construction allows the tourbillon to rotate once per minute on its first axis and once every 30 seconds on its second. Operating at two speeds within the same movement, the tourbillon creates a sense of playfulness while showcasing the brand's avant-garde mechanical aesthetic.

To further enhance the bi-axial tourbillon's allure, Hublot meticulously crafted its skeletonized structure and suspended design. This structural design imparts a sense of weightlessness lacking in many traditional tourbillons. Hublot also eliminated the tourbillon's upper bridge and significantly reduced the size of each component, allowing greater light penetration into the tourbillon movement. Furthermore, to enhance visual impact, the tourbillon at 6 o'clock is skeletonized on all sides and protected by anti-glare sapphire crystals on both sides.

Hublot consistently strives to meet the daily needs of its watch wearers. The MP-13 boasts a power reserve of up to four days (96 hours). Compared to other watches with bi-axial skeletonized tourbillons on the market, the new MP-13 undoubtedly holds a leading position in watchmaking in terms of power reserve. In fact, achieving a four-day power reserve presents a more challenging challenge for Hublot's new watch than the few other tourbillons of its type.

The MP-13 features a tourbillon-driven movement, but it does not feature a retrograde display, but a bi-retrograde one. This is another pioneering innovation in Hublot watchmaking. A bi-axial structure, a bi-retrograde display, and a four-day power reserve—three key features not typically found together in a single watch, as the retrograde display is already energy-intensive, and the bi-retrograde display consumes even more energy. Another unique feature of this new watch is that when the minute hand moves steadily, the hour hand instantly jumps from one hour to the next, further enhancing readability and the wearer's daily comfort. The Hublot MP-13 boasts a 96-hour power reserve, with a power reserve indicator at 11 o'clock.
