Replica Hublot, the fully integrated watch Manufacture based in Nyon, Vaud, has introduced a fresh take on its sculptural MP-11 model, showcasing a case entirely crafted from translucent water blue sapphire.
The new Fake Big Bang MP-11 14-Day Power Reserve Water Blue Sapphire boasts a 7-barrel movement offering a power reserve of 2 weeks, equivalent to 336 hours, setting a benchmark in the watch industry.
The seven barrels are aligned coaxially and arranged vertically. Instead of being incorporated into the thickness of the movement, they are placed in front of it at a 90° angle. This clever design allows the movement to maintain a conventional height of 10.9 mm.
The remaining power is indicated on a slowly rotating cylinder located to the left of the seven barrels, aligning with the ‘DAY POWER RESERVE’ marking on the sapphire glass.
To enable the power reserve to drive the movement, Replica Hublot developed a custom 90° transmission that employs a helical worm gear, following the principle of an endless screw. This gear is visible between 9 and 10 o’clock.
Opposite this mechanism, the balance is positioned at 2 o’clock, with its rate displayed at 4 o’clock, creating visual harmony and symmetry.
Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), the Hublot HUB9011 calibre comprises 270 components and features a patented index-assembly system and a silicon escapement that protects the movement from electromagnetic and thermal interference.
The new “Water Blue” sapphire crystal used for the 45 mm x 14.4 mm case is based on a newly developed chemical formula, retaining all the exceptional properties of sapphire: brilliance, luminosity, inalterability, and complete resistance to knocks and scratches. The surfaces are meticulously polished by hand.
By mirroring the shape of the barrels, the sapphire crystal case naturally creates a magnifying effect on this distinctive element of the watch.
The Super Clone Big Bang MP-11 can be manually wound using the large, fluted crown with a worm screw-type relief that mirrors the helical gear, or with an electric Torx stylus. Water resistance is ensured up to a depth of 30 meters / 330 feet.
