Sapphire case, super long power, Hublot replica watches swiss, it's really "too explosive"
Although, Hublot's modern watchmaking style is not acceptable to everyone. But for me, I not only accept it, but Hublot is also one of the most famous watches I wear.
Hublot's entry-level and high-end models are very different. For example, entry-level models have always used ETA/SW universal movements, while high-end complex models can be close to complex watches such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. In the past few years, the ones I have worn the most are the Big Bang UNICO Chronograph and the Big Bang MECA 10. Among them, there is a Hublot complex watch that I have always liked very much. It is what I want to talk to you about today, the Hublot Big Bang BIG BANG MP-11.
Hublot's complex models are often not available in traditional watchmaking such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. jacob and co watch replica
Hublot is a famous watch brand that was established in 1980. It was acquired in 2008. It belongs to the LV Group together with TAG Heuer, Zenith and Bulgari, and has become the highest-positioned famous watch in the LV Group. Therefore, Hublot has been following the modern watchmaking style from the beginning. Therefore, in addition to the traditional complex functions such as minute repeater, perpetual calendar and tourbillon, Hublot can always "ingeniously" launch "innovative functions" that traditional watchmaking such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin do not have, such as long power.
Hublot's long power is not the 7-day long power of IWC Portuguese 7, but directly pulls the power to "tens of days", such as Hublot's most famous MP-05 "Lafa" (Ferrari cooperation model), which has a power of 50 days and is powered by 11 barrels. A special "small electric drill" must be used to wind the watch. Putting aside the public price of 2.4 million at that time, its huge "Iron Man"-like case alone is not a watch prepared for daily wear. Therefore, Hublot designed the "super long power" into a Hublot replica watches online that can be worn daily, which is the Big Bang MP-11, with a power of 14 days.
MP-11 first uses the Hublot Big Bang case, and the size is reduced to 45 mm, which is now a normal size for daily wear. The round bezel has H-shaped screws on the bezel and two "small ears" on both sides of the case. MP-11 has various cases, including carbon fiber cases and ceramic cases, and the highest is the transparent sapphire case.
It is no exaggeration to say that Hublot's ceramic case and sapphire case technology are the "top" among Swiss watches. Hublot not only solved the problem of yellowing of early sapphire cases after a long time, but also has a full range of colored transparent sapphires. This water blue sapphire model is the top configuration. Even the former president of Patek Philippe (the father of the current president, Thierry Stein) once said in an interview that the reason why Patek Philippe does not make new materials such as ceramics is that brands like Hublot are very advanced in new materials, and Patek Philippe does not need to dabble in them.
Although the power reserve of Hublot MP-11 is reduced to 14 days, it is still the watch with the longest power in the market. In order to support the 14-day power, MP-11 uses 7 barrels. The 7 barrels are connected in series and directly placed in the 45mm case, occupying the lower half of the entire dial, and the essence of this watch lies here. The 7 standing barrels rush out of the case, so the watch mirror and bezel are all raised at the spring, wrapping the protruding barrels to form a huge curved surface. The visual effect brought by the super long power of 14 days and the curved surface has become an art. grand seiko replica
At the front of the 7 barrels is the power display of MP-11. The drum-type power display counts down from 14 days. From the back of the watch, you can see that an extra-long transmission shaft runs through the entire movement from the crown and connects to the front of the 7 barrels. Hublot MP-11 can normally tighten the crown to wind the watch. But because it is quite "tiring" to wind the 7 barrels by hand, a "winding pen" is also provided, which can be inserted into the crown and wound with an electric "winding pen". Then the question is:
How to transmit power to the 7 "standing" barrels?
This is another key technology of Hublot MP-11, 90-degree spiral gear transmission. Transmit power from the vertical spring to the horizontal gear above the disk.
We can see that the frontmost barrel of the 7 barrels (the barrel on the right of the power storage) has "inclined teeth"; the huge horizontal gear above the barrel also has special teeth. Through the two "special teeth", the "standing" barrel and the "horizontal" gear mesh with each other, and the power is transmitted. I circled the 90-degree spiral gear transmission part and marked the power transmission path, so that you can see it at a glance.
In the upper part of the dial, the hour and minute dial of the watch is in the center. On the left side of the hour and minute dial is a large gear driven by a 90-degree spiral gear, and on the right side of the hour and minute dial is a balance escapement. Symmetrical. MP-11 uses a silicon escapement wheel and a silicon escapement fork. The blue-purple silicon material is very conspicuous. The silicon escapement is light, does not require lubricating oil, has high operating efficiency, and is also anti-magnetic. At the same time, we can see that the speed needle of the hairspring uses Hublot's "H" shape. replica Patek Philippe Watches
In terms of details, Hublot has always been focusing on modern style, with a large number of hollowed-out dials and movement decorations mainly sandblasted and brushed. With a transparent sapphire case and a complex movement structure, it can be appreciated from any angle. Luxury, complexity, and coolness are all concentrated on this watch at this moment. MP-11 shows a completely different artistic attainment from traditional watchmaking such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.
At the upper and lower ends of the case, there are two trapezoidal buttons, which are Hublot's big bang quick release buttons. Press them and the strap pops out. Now Hublot has equipped the Big Bang with various straps, including tape, canvas with Velcro, and various colors. One-touch quick release allows you to switch straps at any time, which is very convenient.
At the level of Hublot MP-11, precision, durability, and cost-effectiveness are meaningless. At this level, what we need is the unique characteristics of each famous watch brand. For example, Patek Philippe 5172 and Lange DATO have taken manual timing to the extreme; Vacheron Constantin's Across the World and Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak can both provide luxurious sports tourbillon. Hublot MP-11's ultra-long power and colorful sapphire case are different from all traditional watchmaking brands, and there is no similar product that can replace it. Traditional watchmaking usually has many options, but in the field of modern watchmaking, Hublot's complex watches are often unique. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
