After the three initial versions in titanium , King Gold and black 3D carbon , Hublot is continuing the adventure of the MP-09 with not one , but four new versions . What they all have in common is a new 3D carbon case in colour . Every word in this description counts : “ new ”, because of the conception , but above all the method , because machining a case made from a multi-layer composite , such as carbon , is nothing like machining a case made from titanium or gold , which are homogeneous metals . Not to mention , new plans , new tools and new finishings : the MP-09 has a truly ultra-high-tech chassis .
“ 3D Carbon ” is a material that nobody masters like Hublot , which is capable of sculpting it to form curves , angles and inclined planes of a rare complexity , whilst always guaranteeing its water resistance and durability . Carbon also offers the new MP-09 a significant weight saving , accentuating the sensation of a piece with an extreme look and a unique complication ... that is as light as a feather on your wrist .
Finally , “ colour ”, which is what sets this new MP-09 family apart . It comes in a choice of four : yellow , blue , green and red . Four radically different approaches , with solution-dyed 3D carbon cases that have matching structured rubber straps , hands and hour markers . Sporty , stealthy or flashy , there is one for every taste , but not for everybody : only eight numbered pieces will be made of each version .
The new Hublot MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis beats to the rhythm of the HUB9009 . H1 . RA manual-winding , mechanical calibre with a 5-day power reserve . It is equipped with a biaxial tourbillon with a full rotation every minute for the first axis and a second rotation every 30 seconds for the second axis . It is this hypnotic and unique double rotation that guided the conception of this inclined case , which shows the tourbillon at 6 o ’ clock , as part of a new colour , 3D carbon architecture , with the middle and back cover in titanium , as well as a double anti-reflective sapphire glass .
