Insider: Hublot MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire. Hands-On Review
The Hublot MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire is a striking 42 mm wristwatch that showcases a collaboration between Hublot and artist Daniel Arsham. This timepiece features a unique frosted sapphire crystal bezel, designed to evoke the moment water meets a surface, and is limited to just 99 pieces. The watch is constructed from micro-blasted titanium and houses the newly downsized Meca-10 movement, which boasts a remarkable 10-day power reserve while maintaining an industrial aesthetic with its skeletonized design. Wearing the MP-17 feels more like donning a piece of wearable art than a traditional watch. While the lightweight titanium and rubber strap offer comfort, some may find the strap too narrow for the watch's bold appearance. Priced at $69,000, this model represents a fresh direction for Hublot, moving away from their typical offerings while still delivering on technical craftsmanship and innovative design.
