"The brand's latest creation, the MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire, represents a remarkable fusion of artistry and engineering. Designed in partnership with artist Daniel Arsham, this limited-edition timepiece continues the creative dialogue between contemporary sculpture and high horology, capturing the fluidity of water in solid form. This launch marks Arsham's first wristwatch design for Hublot, following last year's acclaimed MP-16 Arsham Droplet, a transformable pocket watch that challenged conventions with its futuristic silhouette."
"Hublot's "Art of Fusion" ethos has always been about combining unexpected materials and disciplines, and the MP-17 exemplifies that philosophy perfectly. The 42 mm titanium case, framed by a sapphire crystal bezel, feels both weightless and architectural, offering a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional craftsmanship. Its fluid contours evoke the moment water becomes motion - frozen mid-splash - an aesthetic rarely explored in mechanical watch design."
Hublot's MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire merges contemporary sculpture and high horology through a collaboration with Daniel Arsham. The 42 mm titanium case, topped by a sapphire crystal bezel, emphasizes transparency and architectural lightness while evoking a frozen water splash. The Meca-10 manual-wind movement has been re-engineered into a more compact form and is visible through a dial aperture and a transparent sapphire caseback, revealing gears and bridges that appear suspended. The organic, asymmetrical splash motif continues Arsham's exploration of fluid forms and translates the Droplet concept into a wearable, limited-edition sculptural timepiece.
