Exceptional Timepieces

MP-17 MECA-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire 42MM

Ref. 917.NJ.6909.RX

A definitive and highly structural masterwork of architectural horology and contemporary art, this exceptional limited edition of only 99 pieces worldwide stems from the historical inaugural watch collaboration between Hublot and celebrated American sculptor Daniel Arsham. Reimagining contemporary horology through Arsham's signature lens of "fictional archaeology," this wearable sculpture pairs a compact 42mm water-droplet-inspired titanium chassis with a laser-textured frosted sapphire bezel and Hublot's newly downsized in-house Meca-10 movement packing a record-breaking 10-day power reserve.

ORGANIC WATER-DROPLET TITANIUM HULL ARCHITECTURED WITH A LASER-TEXTURED FROSTED BEZEL

This exceptional timepiece projects absolute dominance through its fluid 42mm multi-layered chassis, precisely sculpted to mimic the perfect geometric volume of a flowing water droplet. Breaking conventional watch structures, the case body is crafted from high-performance Grade 5 Titanium treated with a shiny microblasted routine to achieve a sleek, premium industrial texture.

The structural stance is brilliantly elevated by a complex box-shaped bezel executed from synthetic Sapphire Crystal, polished and meticulously laser-etched to create an organic frosted texture. This transparent, frozen-water aesthetic captures the clarity and motion of fluid in flux, revealing the mechanical engine below while offering extreme diamond-level hardness. Integrated with a black high-grade rubber strap molded with the Arsham Monogram asset and secured by a solid titanium deployment buckle, the robust framework satisfies a daily resilient 50m water resistance (5 ATM).

RHODIUM-PLATED “ARSHAM SPLASH” INTERFACE EMBEDDED WITH VIBRANT ART SUPERLUMINOVA

The visual soul of this creation perfectly mirrors Daniel Arsham’s vision of collapsing time by bridging ancient artifacts with the future. Fusing the movement caliber entirely with the face, the rhodium-plated and shiny microblasted dial face features a bold, organic splash-shaped opening—a direct aesthetic evolution from the MP-16’s droplet inspiration. Through this dramatic fluid silhouette, the open-worked matrix of the skeletonized gear train is beautifully exposed. The indices and hands stand out in sharp relief against the raw industrial canvas, treated generously with a custom vibrant Green Arsham Superluminova coating to ensure optimal, highly scannable legibility under dark settings behind an anti-reflective sapphire shield.

MANUFACTURE CALIBRE HUB1205: THE NEW DOWNSIZED MECA-10 MATRIX WITH 240-HOUR POWER RESERVE

Ensuring absolute operational precision and authority is the mechanical manual-winding Calibre HUB1205 Manufacture skeleton movement, designed, calculated, and built entirely within Hublot’s foundry in Nyon. This specific execution introduces a downsized re-engineering of Hublot’s legendary Meca-10 blueprint, allowing the massive 10-day runtime to reside inside a compact, wearable 42mm profile. Driven by twin mainspring barrels coupled in series, the caliber delivers an unparalleled power reserve of approximately 240 hours (10 full days) of constant rate stability.

The remaining energy level is read via a digital display operated by an exceptionally rare linear “crémaillère” rack-and-pinion system. This mechanical calculation moves two counter-rotating superimposed disks linked via an internal spiral spring, providing an incredibly intuitive differential readout. This manual-winding masterpiece stands as a legendary hallmark of avant-garde watchmaking curated strictly for the global elite collector.
