MECA-10 Black Magic 45MM

ARCHITECTURAL BLACK CERAMIC AND THE SEAMLESS TRIUMPH OF HIGH-TECH METALLURGY

This exceptional timepiece projects absolute dominance through its signature 45mm multi-layered sandwich case, beautifully sculpted from Hublot’s high-tech Black Ceramic. Sintered at incredibly high temperatures, this zirconium dioxide matrix achieves extreme hardness, rendering the ultra-tough shell practically scratch-proof and entirely skin-inert. The manufacture introduces a bold dark aesthetic by flawlessly combining microblasted matte treatments across flat surfaces with mirror-polished bevels, resulting in a rich multi-dimensional texture. The robust silhouette is seamlessly crowned by a matching ceramic bezel, secured by 6 H-shaped black-plated titanium screws. Engineered with a robust 100m water resistance and completed by an integrated black structured lined rubber strap, this advanced ceramic structure delivers an unparalleled statement of authority and dark luxury.

SKELETONIZED MATTE BLACK DIAL: A MICROSCOPIC STAGE FOR ARCHITECTURAL AUTONOMY

The mechanical soul of this masterpiece is fully laid bare through its captivating matte black skeletonized dial. Void of a conventional watch face, the open-worked architecture functions as a miniature stage that aestheticizes what is normally hidden, revealing an intricate engineering system constructed layer by layer, brick by brick. The oversized hands and applied dark indices feature luminescent inserts for crystal-clear legibility under any lighting condition, viewed with pristine depth through the anti-reflective sapphire glass. The visual drama is elevated by an intuitive, asymmetric power reserve display driven by a rare rack-and-pinion “crémaillère” system at 12 o’clock, working alongside a circular digital day-autonomy counter at 6 o’clock with a red warning zone to create an enthralling horological choreography.

MANUFACTURE CALIBRE HUB1201: MECHANICAL DOMINANCE WITH A 10-DAY AUTONOMY

Ensuring absolute reliability and timing precision is the manual-winding manufacture Calibre HUB1201 movement, a masterclass in micromechanical engineering entirely designed, developed, and manufactured in-house by Hublot. To display its extraordinary power reserve in a highly innovative way, the movement replaces conventional plates with long architectural bridges secured on either side of a ring-shaped baseplate, maximizing visual depth from both sides of the case. Driven with absolute stability by two mainspring barrels and operating at a 3Hz frequency (21,600 vph), this mechanical powerhouse comprises 223 components and 24 jewels to deliver an outstanding 240 hours of autonomy, fully reviewable from every angle through the exhibition sapphire caseback.
