BREAKING: Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot has just announced the launch of the MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire, a stunning new timepiece created in collaboration with renowned American artist Daniel Arsham. This innovative watch, unveiled today in Singapore, redefines artistic horology and is limited to only 99 pieces globally.
The MP-17 Arsham Splash is a remarkable evolution from the previously successful MP-16 Arsham Droplet. Inspired by the fluidity and transparency of water, the new timepiece showcases Hublot’s signature Art of Fusion while integrating Arsham’s unique artistic vision, described as “fictional archaeology.” With a compact 42mm case, the watch features a splash-shaped opening on the dial that symbolizes the essence of water, making it a true wearable sculpture.
Daniel Arsham emphasized the importance of time in his designs, stating, “My work is about collapsing time. You’re not quite sure if it’s an object from the past or the future.” The MP-17 merges this concept with Hublot’s advanced Meca-10 manual-wind movement, visible through the sapphire caseback, which boasts an impressive 240 hours of power reserve.
The timepiece utilizes a combination of titanium, rubber, and a frosted sapphire crystal, ensuring durability while maintaining an artistic, fluid aesthetic. Signature Hublot elements, such as the six H-screws on the bezel and caseback, are present, while Arsham green accents add a unique touch to the hands and markers.
Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, stated, “The MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire represents the next exciting chapter in our collaboration. It’s visually stunning and pushes the boundaries of innovation.” Meanwhile, Arsham remarked that this collaboration explores “the fluidity of time,” captured perfectly in the watch’s design.
Available now for a price of $69,000, the Hublot MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash is set to attract art collectors and watch enthusiasts alike. This limited-edition piece can be purchased at Hublot boutiques and authorized retailers worldwide.
This latest release not only reflects Hublot’s commitment to blending fine watchmaking with contemporary art but also invites collectors to experience time through Daniel Arsham’s unique lens. Don’t miss your chance to own one of the 99 pieces that merge concept and performance in a groundbreaking design.
