The newest Hublot MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire is a visual and philosophical statement
Few collaborations in the ever-evolving world of horology fuse art and watchmaking with as much audacity as Hublot and Daniel Arsham. The latest chapter of this creative partnership—unveiled in Singapore—is the Hublot MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire. In a nutshell, this watch transforms the concept of time into a fluid work of art.
Following the MP-16 Arsham Droplet, this new creation continues Arsham’s exploration of motion, transparency, and temporality. Drawing inspiration from the natural flow of water, the 42mm MP-17 combines frosted sapphire, titanium, and rubber to form a sculptural case that seems almost alive in its organic curves. At its heart beats Hublot’s in-house Meca-10 manual-winding movement, visible through the splash-shaped aperture on the dial and the sapphire caseback—an exquisite display of engineering that offers an impressive 10-day power reserve.
Arsham’s signature green accents bring a vibrant pulse to the monochromatic composition, adorning the numerals, hands, and power reserve indicator. The watch, though avant-garde in its form, remains unmistakably Hublot—complete with six H-screws, bold lugs, and a seamless fusion of materials that define the Maison’s design DNA.
Limited to just 99 pieces, the MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash blurs the line between sculpture and precision instrument. As Hublot CEO Julien Tornare describes, it’s an invitation to “see time in a new light,” while Arsham himself calls it “a study in the fluidity of time.”
The result is more than a watch. The Hublot MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire is a visual and philosophical statement that captures the essence of time in motion. Eventually, with this release, Hublot once again proves that the future of fine watchmaking lies not in repetition, but in fearless reinvention.
