Hublot MP-11: Extended Power Reserve + Sapphire Technology

In the Hublot Big Bang MP-11 watch (model: 911.JL.0129.RX), Hublot has created a new sapphire crystal case with a customized chemical formula, resulting in a truly icy blue hue. This not only boasts a unique transparency index but also ensures the robust and scratch-resistant stability of the sapphire crystal itself. The unique, exceptionally beautiful, and clear icy blue sapphire crystal case is polished using Hublot's signature polishing techniques.

Simply put, the Big Bang MP-11 combines Hublot's classic Big Bang case with its ultra-long power reserve technology. Given this extended power reserve, the mainspring barrels naturally occupy a significant portion of the case. Therefore, seven neatly arranged mainspring barrels are placed in the lower half of the dial, with the inscription "DAY POWER RESERVE" on the case. A slowly rotating disc at the top left displays the remaining power reserve time.



Placing seven mainspring barrels within a movement is extremely difficult, so Hublot took a different approach. While maintaining a standard thickness of 10.9mm, they moved the mainspring barrels outside the movement, placing them at a 90-degree angle in front of it, creating a raised section at the bottom of the case resembling a speed bump, reaching a maximum thickness of 14.4mm. It's certainly bold! Yet, the overall watch is remarkably harmonious and pleasing to the eye, showcasing Hublot's excellent aesthetic sense.

With a 45mm case diameter, classic Big Bang design elements are present: a round bezel, the iconic H-shaped screws, and the signature lugs on both sides of the case… The crown features a large, spiral-shaped design reminiscent of a tire, providing a comfortable grip and easy winding. The watch uses the HUB9011 manual-winding skeletonized movement, a 100% in-house developed movement by Hublot, equipped with a silicon escapement, operating at a 4Hz frequency. The internal movement is visible from any side, front, back, left, or right. The finishing is minimalist yet modern, with the bridges and plates featuring both brushed and frosted finishes.
