Hublot mixed aluminium oxide with rare elements like thulium, holmium and chromium to achieve this shade of green.
“With this new Big Bang MP-11, Hublot once more asserts its regal mastery of innovation, at both a technical level and in terms of aesthetics,” says Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot. “By offering those that seek accomplishment a state-of-the-art material used in very high-tech applications, particularly in satellites, and by combining it with a manufacture movement with levels of performance that will go down in history, we are changing the face of our Art of Fusion.”
The pioneering concept of the “Art of Fusion” was created by Hublot’s Chairman, Jean-Claude Biver, combining gold and rubber.
Mechanics of the Green SAXEM MP-11
With an innovative chassis and an exceptional motor: there is a manual-winding skeleton manufacture calibre, fitted with an outstanding two-week power reserve, beating in the heart of this Big Bang MP-11. Hublot has accomplished this feat thanks to original and spectacular movement architecture that integrates seven barrels connected in series, all with a thickness of 10.92 mm.
