A Revolutionary Approach to Timekeeping
The MP-10 is not a conventional watch. It abandons traditional hands, dials, and oscillating rotors in favor of a roller-based time display, circular power reserve indicator, and a tourbillon inclined at 35°. Its automatic HUB9013 calibre, composed of 592 meticulously crafted components, is wound by two vertical, bidirectional 22-karat gold linear weights. The result is a mechanism that not only challenges but redefines how horology can be perceived.
The HUB9013 Calibre: Technical Brilliance in Motion
At the heart of the MP-10 lies the in-house HUB9013 movement. This calibre is a masterwork of mechanical engineering:
- Automatic winding via dual linear weights
- 592 components, crafted with microscopic precision
- 35° inclined flying tourbillon for superior chronometric performance
- 48-hour power reserve with color-coded indicators in green, orange, and red
- Four-roller display system for hours, minutes, seconds, and reserve tracking
The dynamic presence of the linear weights mimics the movement of pistons in a high-performance engine, reinforcing the impression that this is not just a timepiece but a mechanical spectacle.
Hublot MP-10 All Black Ceramic Edition
Bold Aesthetics, Limitless Durability
Limited to 50 pieces, the MP-10 All Black Ceramic Edition highlights Hublot’s expertise in advanced ceramic engineering. The case, crafted from microblasted black ceramic, measures 54.1mm x 41.5mm x 22.4mm a size that asserts dominance on the wrist while retaining ergonomic comfort. The entire construction exudes stealth and strength.
- Case Material: Microblasted black ceramic
- Strap: Structured black rubber

Functionality Meets Darkness
The watch embodies Hublot’s iconic All Black aesthetic, where every element, from the rollers to the clasp, embraces the night. Time is displayed via four rolling indicators: hours and minutes at the top, the circular reserve in the middle, and seconds on the rotating tourbillon cage. The power reserve display enhances practicality with its intuitive tricolor system.
Hublot MP-10 Sapphire Edition
A Sculptural Expression of Transparency
For collectors who seek purity and light, the MP-10 Sapphire Edition offers a striking contrast. Limited to only 30 pieces, this version is a marvel of polished sapphire crystal engineering. The case allows uninterrupted visibility of the movement, turning the watch into a transparent exhibition of mechanical artistry.
- Case Material: Fully polished sapphire crystal
- Strap: Translucent structured rubber
- Clasp: Sapphire crystal deployant clasp

An Immersive Play of Light
The sapphire case floods the movement with light, illuminating the HUB9013 calibre like a sculpture within glass. The play of transparency and mechanical detail emphasizes depth and symmetry, making the watch an architectural masterpiece as much as a functional one.
Design Without Right Angles
The MP-10 distinguishes itself through geometry as much as mechanics. Its case is defined by curves and angles without a single right angle, showcasing Hublot’s mastery in case design. The double sapphire crystal architecture not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures a 360-degree view of the linear weights and tourbillon.
Such structural complexity demonstrates Hublot’s ability to push the limits of material engineering while preserving elegance and wearability.
