Hublot 2016 Baselworld Men’s Watches: MP-05 “LaFerrari” Sapphire
Who can forget the spectacular original version of the MP-05 “LaFerrari”! Its grand launch in 2013 created quite the stir. It was record-breaking technical feat to bring together a unique and complex architecture, and a magnificent movement. Its tourbillon was near perfect with 50-day power reserve. And the movement had a total of a whopping 637 components, a personal record for the brand. Just when we though it couldn’t get any better, Hublot has announced the launch of the MP-05 “LaFerrai” Sapphire this Baselworld 2016. The bold and futuristic design boasts a 3D construction of the case middle in sapphire. It is made of 7 components machined from 7 blocks of sapphire and 600 painstaking hours of manpower. This makes a breathtaking setting for the movement and gives it a feeling of suspension. Hublot’s new “visible invisibility” phenomenon adds to the beauty of the timepiece, more so the movement. Ticking strongly inside is the popular HUB9005.H1.PN.1 movement. Adding to its sexy design element is the transparent silicon strap paired with a clasp with is also crafted with components carved from sapphire. The timepiece is wound by a mechanism using a miniature power drill to keep in tune with its avant-garde appeal and reminding one of the tyre-changing tool. Limited to just 20 pieces, this watch from Hublot is as lustworthy as its inspirational car.
