Hublot unveils an extraordinary new model in collaboration with contemporary artist Daniel Arsham—the MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire. This limited edition wristwatch fuses fine watchmaking with modern art, capturing the split second a water droplet becomes a splash.
The watch features a 42mm sandblasted titanium case combined with a unique laser-textured frosted sapphire bezel shaped in a fluid, splash-inspired form—a direct evolution from Arsham’s previous MP-16 Droplet pocket watch. The dial mirrors this irregular splash shape, showcasing the open-worked Meca-10 movement bridges with iconic Arsham blue-green lume on hands and indices.
Water-resistant up to 50 meters, this watch is a 99-piece limited edition, priced at approximately $69,000 USD. It blends innovative design, advanced horology, and wearable art, targeting collectors who appreciate boundary-pushing creativity on the wrist.
Powered by Hublot’s compact manual-winding HUB1205 caliber, the skeletonized Meca-10 movement offers a generous 10-day power reserve (240 hours) and operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. The titanium caseback also includes sapphire crystal matching the front’s artistic shape, giving an unobstructed view of the hand-finished movement. The integrated black rubber strap carries Arsham’s monogram, secured with a titanium deployant buckle.
