In recent days, Swiss luxury brand Hublot has come up with new tricks in watch materials, launching a limited edition “Big Bang MECA10 20Year Anniversary Sapphire” set, with five unique sapphire watches, which are simply eye-catching! Why is this set of watches so attractive to high-end collectors? Let’s unveil its mystery together!
Hublot’s sapphire material innovation
Swiss luxury watchmaking brand HUBLOT is not only innovative in design, but also constantly challenges traditional watchmaking techniques in the use of watch materials. It has made remarkable achievements in the innovative application of sapphire materials in particular.
Limited sets and high-end collectors
The launch of limited edition sets further demonstrates Hublot’s pursuit of luxury and uniqueness, and has therefore attracted the attention of many high-end collectors.
Limited Collection of Big Bang MECA10 Watches
At this year’s Baselworld, Hublot launched an amazing limited collection set. The name of the set is “Big Bang MECA10 20-Year Anniversary Sapphire”, which literally means “20th Anniversary Sapphire Big Explosion MECA10”. There is a number “05” in the name of this set, which represents its limited quantity, which is only 5 sets.
Watch Sets and Collectible Art
What is the charm of this limited edition watch set that makes it a high-end collection-level product of Hublot? Let’s find out today.
Improvement of display and collection value
In addition to the watch itself, the display box of this set is also worth mentioning. It uses black and white colors. The overall look is quite simple and elegant. When we slide the upper sliding glass panel to the right, we can see the 5 watches inside.
These five watches are placed side by side in the display box, and a nameplate is placed in the center. The nameplate is engraved with “Master of Sapphire XX/05”, and “XX” represents the number of the set, thus showing its preciousness.
In addition, the display box is also designed with a backlight panel inside and adopts a vertical lighting design. With the suspended display of 5 watches, the entire visual effect is like a work of art.
At the same time, in order to avoid damage to the watch’s internal movement caused by direct sunlight, the sliding glass panel has also been treated with a matte process, which can effectively reduce the light intensity and protect the movement.
In addition to enhancing the artistic value and collection significance of the entire set, this display box can also effectively prevent watches from colliding with each other, thereby ensuring that the watches can remain in good condition as new after long-term storage.
Swiss luxury watchmaking brand and movement design
Returning to the watch itself, as a celebration of Hublot’s 20th anniversary, these five watches are all designed with great care. What they have in common is that they are all made of sapphire material. The difference between them lies in the movement material visible on the back of the movement.
The reason why the MECA10 movement is placed in a sapphire case is because the sapphire material used in these five watches is not limited to ordinary sapphire, but also includes SAXEM material, which is made of five colors of sapphire: white, green, blue, purple and pink.
In order to ensure that the movement can operate normally in the sapphire case, Hublot has improved the MECA10 movement, lowering its height by 0.4 mm, and hollowing out the back of the movement so that the movement can be smoothly placed in the sapphire case. This is also the first time that the MECA10 movement has been placed in a sapphire case.
It is worth mentioning that although the height of the movement has been reduced, its 10-day power reserve has not been affected. This is also a highlight of the MECA10 movement. It achieves long-term power storage through two side-by-side balance wheels. This design also makes it show extraordinary charm in terms of mechanical beauty and dynamic rhythm.
As a celebration of Hublot’s 20th anniversary, this limited edition set will have another display method, that is, after they are taken out and worn, there will be a bracket specially used to place the watch inside the display box. This bracket will also be made of sapphire material and will also be hollowed out. This way, the watch can continue to be displayed in a suspended state after being worn, and the wearer can appreciate the dynamic beauty of the watch movement at any time.
However, this limited collection set has been booked by Hublot’s high-end customers, so if you are interested in it, you can only wait patiently for news on the second-hand market.
Conclusion
Hublot’s limited collection set this time is really amazing. Not only does it show the ultimate craftsmanship in design, but even the display box can be called a work of art. It is simply a dream choice for collectors! What do you think of the value of this watch? Welcome to share your views in the comment area, and don’t forget to like and support!
