"Continuing on the success of the pocket watch, Hublot is collaborating once again with the artist and brand ambassador, Daniel Arsham, for a wristwatch, which by no means is an ordinary timepiece. The new Hublot MP-17 MECA-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire rewrites the rulebook of watchmaking with the fluid evolution of artistic horology, the company notes. Designer: Arsham Droplet + Hublot"
"The watch, therefore, is easily a wearable sculpture powered by Hublot's in-house Meca-10 manual-winding movement. It features a mesmerizing interplay of water, time, and art, which, much like the pocket watch, captures the convergence of past, present, and future. It encapsulates a form inspired by the fluidity of water and is an epitome of modern watchmaking and art. Design and Craftsmanship Writing about watches that are beyond the ordinary complications is fascinating and challenging at the same time."
Pocket watches were a 19th-century status symbol that fell out of favor before reemerging as vintage-modern fashion. The MP-16 Arsham Droplet pocket watch achieved graceful success as both art and a functional object, prompting a wearable successor. Hublot collaborated again with Daniel Arsham to create the MP-17 MECA-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire, a wearable sculpture powered by Hublot's in-house Meca-10 manual-winding movement. The design evokes water’s fluidity and explores the interplay of water, time, and art, combining sapphire crystal, a titanium case with rubber accents, and meticulous craftsmanship in a limited-edition release aimed at collectors.
