Panerai Luminor Quaranta Steel DLC Luna Rossa 40 mm Blue Dial Stainless Steel Blue Rubber Strap PAM01314

The MP-11, featuring its sculptural 7-barrel movement with a 2-week power reserve, makes its debut in a brand new colour: a radiant and translucent water blue. A new colour is added to Hublot's palette of sapphire tones, and a major first for this Manufacture Piece which, until now, has been available in more contrasting materials.

For some, it was just yesterday. For others, it has been an eternity. Just think: Baselworld 2018! Yet, Hublot regularly set the heart of the watchmaking world aflutter, beating to the rhythm of creations that defied all convention. The MP-11 was no exception. Six years on, it remains what it has always been: unique, first and different.

It has to be said that the bar is very high: seven barrels, and a 14-day power reserve. Quite a benchmark to reach! But beyond the numbers, there is the technology, which remains the pinnacle of inventiveness in watchmaking. To maintain a conventional height (10.9 mm), the seven barrels are coaxial and vertical. They are not integrated into the thickness of the movement. They are physically in front of it, set at 90° to it.
