Two Weeks Of Rainbows With The New Big Bang MP-11

Two Weeks Of Rainbows With The New Big Bang MP-11

As a serial innovator, Hublot has made its mark on quite a variety of different fields and technologies. This resulted in exceptional watches and many world’s first. It gets even better when the brand combines areas in which they are a trailblazer, like sapphire crystal and rainbow settings. Both join forces in the Big Bang MP-11 Power Reserve 14 Days Sapphire Rainbow, taking this complicated timepiece to the next level.

While Hublot has no problem with some of its watches to make them outgoing, even those are all about balance. This is especially true with the MP-11. From a technical point of view, it is a true marvel. The movement consists out of 270 parts, of which seven are mainspring barrels. They are placed next to each other vertically and coupled in series. As a result, this manual wound Hublot has a power reserve of an astonishing 14 days. Because of the vertical position of the mainspring barrels, they stand higher than the movement itself. Hublot curved the bezel and sapphire crystal around it to accommodate this, giving a visual hint of this watch’s uniqueness. The movement itself is skeletonized in an understated, almost industrial way. It shows its inner workings without overpowering the rest of the watch features.

Hublot has been one of the pioneers in creating watches with their cases made from sapphire crystal. While the brand is now capable of making them in a wide variety of colors, they choose transparent for this one. It is a superb choice as it offers balance in combination with the movement, while the rainbow set bezel becomes the center of attention. An added advantage is that the caliber that powers this MP-11 can also be admired from nearly all angles.

To create the bezel, Hublot utilized 48 different colored gemstones creating a so-called rainbow setting. This is another field in which the brand excels and plays an essential role in its popularity. To create the best rainbow effect, the stones need to fade from one color to another. Hublot achieved this by using different colored sapphires, along with Amethyst and Tsavorite. Cutting them to fit the bezel was another challenge, as the curved surface requires the shape of specific stones to accommodate this. The result is breathtaking, perfectly mixing the appeal of each of these innovations to create an MP-11 unlike any other.
