The Hublot MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium

At first glance, the MP-10 Tourbillon Titanium appears more like a piece of contemporary art than a conventional watch. And, let’s be honest, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, with dimensions of 54.1 x 41.5 mm, its case exudes a commanding presence, crafted from shiny microblasted titanium that exudes an aura of strength and refinement. This material not only enhances the watch’s durability but also contributes to its lightweight feel, ensuring optimal comfort for the wearer.

The dial of the MP-10 Tourbillon Titanium is a symphony of precision and innovation. Hours and minutes are elegantly displayed through anodized black aluminum cylinders, adding a touch of modernity to the classic analog display. The power reserve indicator, a vital feature for automatic timepieces, is seamlessly integrated into the design, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Meanwhile, the seconds are indicated by an anodized black aluminum element affixed to the suspended tourbillon, a mesmerizing complication that enhances accuracy by counteracting the effects of gravity.

Beneath the surface of the Hublot MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium

Beneath the surface lies the heart of this watch – the HUB9013 Manufacture self-winding movement. This intricate mechanism boasts a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, ensuring reliable performance even during extended wear. The skeletonized design not only showcases the inner workings of the movement but also adds to the watch’s futuristic allure.

One of the most innovative features of the MP-10 Tourbillon Titanium is its linear winding system, aptly named the Weight Energy System. Unlike traditional rotor-based automatic movements, this groundbreaking mechanism harnesses the kinetic energy generated by the wearer’s movements and channels it into the winding of the mainspring. This innovative approach not only increases efficiency but also eliminates the need for a conventional rotor, allowing for a more streamlined and visually striking movement.

Completing the ensemble is a black structured rubber strap, meticulously designed to complement the watch’s aesthetic while providing exceptional comfort and flexibility. The titanium deployant clasp ensures a secure fit, allowing the wearer to enjoy peace of mind knowing their timepiece is firmly in place.

The verdict

We have a confession to make: The new MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium isn’t really our type of watch, and chances are, you might feel the same. But what we truly admire is Hublot’s fearless attitude toward criticism. In a world where many brands tiptoe around feedback, striving to appease a hypothetical audience, Hublot marches to the beat of its own drum. They’re unapologetically bold, unafraid to break the mold and challenge conventional norms. And in an industry often plagued by uniformity, Hublot’s refusal to conform is refreshingly rebellious.

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards
Turn back time with the new Santos
Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.
