Rolex vs. Hublot: Who WINS the Luxury Timepiece Battle? [2024]

Posted on April 10, 2024April 10, 2024 by Donald Shaw

Confused between the two highly-reputed luxury watch brands? You’ve come to the right place! Today we are going to compare Rolex and Hublot on all the factors to help you pick the best luxury timepiece for yourself. We’ll talk about their history, designs, materials, brand value and a lot more!

History

Rolex, as a brand, was founded in 1908 in London by Hans Wildorf and Alfred Davis, moving their operations to Switzerland after World War I. Since then, they have pioneered several features which have become standard in the watch industry and have become the most recognizable watch brand in the world.

Their success and brand recognition helped them survive the quartz crisis and has allowed them to stay independently owned since their creation. Hublot, by contrast, was only founded within the last 50 years, specifically in 1980.

Uniquely, the founder, Carlo Crocco, broke off from his family watchmaking business to focus on creating a watch brand that, originally, desired to innovate in the straps, and he successfully created the first natural rubber strap in the history of watchmaking.

In 2008, Hublot was acquired by the LVMH group, who currently owns them, and have since created a blitz marketing campaign to increase their brand presence, particularly, their sponsorships of some of the biggest sport stars in the world, including Kylian Mbappe and Novak Djokovic.

Styling Differences Between the Two Brands

It is not hyperbole to say that Rolex has created the most iconic, and the most copied, watch styles in the history of watchmaking. The Submariner, the Daytona, the GMT Master II, the Day Date, the Datejust, and the Explorer I & II are some of the most recognizable watches in the world. The oyster bracelet is the most ubiquitous bracelet style in the industry, and the clasp is the most recognizable clasp in the industry.

And perhaps most importantly, their designs have been responsible for the steel sports watch now being the most common watch worn in the world. It is because their designs have become so well-known over the last 50 years that they rarely change them; a Submariner made 40 years ago looks remarkably similar to a Submariner made yesterday. More on this later.

Again, Hublot, by contrast, could not be more different from its much older competitor. Do you want to wear a watch that looks like no other brand on the market? Do you want people to notice what’s on your wrist and be so impressed by the unique styling that they stop you to ask what watch you’re wearing? Do you want to make watch snobs to judge you for daring to be different?

Then Hublot is the brand for you. Their flagship model, the Big Bang, while taking design inspiration from some of the more iconic timepieces of the past, has become entirely unique, and Hublot has had the freedom to make it in literally hundreds of iterations since its introduction in 2005.

A quick review of their official website reveals that the Big Bang can currently be purchased in over 180 different colors, configurations, sizes, etc. If you want a 44mm steel chronograph on a rubber bracelet with a tried and true ETA based movement, then reference 301.SX.130.RX is for you. However, if you’d prefer a 42mm titanium chronograph on a bracelet with a manufacture calibre and over 400 diamonds in the case, dial, and bracelet, then reference 451.NX.1170.NX.9804 is what you need.

Movements Used

Rolex manufactures all of their own movements, which are shared across their different models. These include the 3230 (found in the Oyster Perpetual and Air-King), the 3235 (found in the DateJust, Submariner, and the Yachtmaster, among others), the 3255 (found in the Day/Date), and the true GMT movement, the 3285, which is found in the GMT-Master II and the Explorer II.

They also manufacture the 4130, which is found in the Daytona, and perhaps the most impressive of all the movements, the 9001, which appears in the Sky-Dweller. These movements feature a parachrome hairspring, meaning they are less prone to wear over time and can withstand shocks much better. They also all feature a 72-hour power reserve and beat at 28,800 vph.

They are all certified as a “superlative chronometer”, meaning the movements are regulated, after casing, to -2 to +2 seconds per day. Hublot, on the other hand, uses third party movements in a majority of their watches, whether it be quartz or ETA based movements that they’ve modified and/or regulated.

They do have their own manufacture calibres, launched in 2010 and named UNICO, which feature a chronograph complication and a 72-hour power reserve. This movement originally appeared in their Big Bang Ferrari models, among other. They released an updated version in 2018 called the UNICO 2, which now appears in several of their Big Bang models.

Hublot also manufactures a manual wind movement with a 14-day power reserve, which only appears in models costing around $100,000. Perhaps their most ostentatious creation, which is saying a lot for a brand like Hublot, is tourbillion movement for a particular model made for Ferrari that features 11 barrels and a 50-day power reserve, that requires a special tool (that looks like an impact gun) to wind. Disappointingly, Hublot does not have any COSC certified movements as of yet.

When purchasing an automatic watch, you, as the buyer, must also consider downstream servicing costs. Rolex movements are some of the most studied movements in the world, and while it is always preferred to have the movement serviced by the manufacturer, Rolex owners are fortunate enough that there are hundreds of experienced third-party watchmakers around the world that do a perfectly fine job of servicing a Rolex movement, and at much cheaper prices than sending the watch directly to Rolex.

The same can be said for Hublot in the pieces that use ETA or quartz movements. ETA movements are easy to service and easy to maintain, and are very robust.

Materials

Rolex is famous for their use of 904L stainless steel, a material that they create at their own metal foundry, and is used in all of their stainless steel models in the cases and bracelets. While not as scratch resistant as the 316L stainless steel that you’ll find in a vast majority of other steel watches, it polishes up much nicer and is much more resistant to corrosion (specifically corrosion cause by saltwater).

Having handled many Rolexes and watches made of 316L, the 904L alloy really does make a difference in appearance. Rolexes just feel a bit more luxurious and shine a bit brighter. Rolex is also famous for their use of Everose Gold, which is a proprietary blend of 18 karat pink gold that is a combination of gold, copper, and platinum and gives the gold a reddish hue.

Hublot, on the other hand, has been truly innovative in their use of materials. Their tagline “Art of Fusion” demonstrates their mandate to try new things by combining different materials within the same watch to create a truly unique timepiece.

They were the first brand to introduce a rubber strap on a gold watch back in 1980. They have pioneered the creation of a metal called “Magic Gold”, which they claim to be the first scratch resistant 18k gold ever made, no matter how active your lifestyle. They have created several different colors of ceramic cases, and have also developed completely transparent sapphire cases.

Other Things to Consider

When debating a purchase between these two brands, there are any things to consider. However, the most important is the message you’re trying to send the world. If you are a traditionalist that likes to wear a recognizable timepiece from a brand responsible for some of the most enduring designs, then Rolex is for you.

As mentioned above, the designs created by Rolex 75 years ago have become some of the most copied on the planet. While not the first dive watch, the Submariner has influenced every dive watch made since its introduction, and because of this, Rolex has kept basically the same design language for 75 years.

This is a huge appeal to collectors, and is a reason why vintage pieces are so incredibly sought after. It is also why the brand gets a bit of stick among the watch collecting community. The “don’t fix what isn’t broken” way of designing watches has rubbed people the wrong way for some time now, as has their miniscule updates to their timepieces over the years.

Rolex knows that their timepieces have a reputation to uphold and they don’t make any decisions that could risk that reputation. Hublot could literally not be more different. They price themselves on taking risks, on using unique materials in their watches, and in taking risks in their designs. If, above everything else, you want to be unique, then you will not a find brand more suited to you than Hublot.

The brand has faced a lot of criticism over the years, being accusing of stealing designs and taking the term “limited edition” too far, but sometimes that the price you pay for becoming successful in an industry which isn’t receptive to newcomers and places such a premium on history. Regardless of your feelings about the brand, however, it is undeniable that Hublot has carved out a very successful niche for itself in the industry.

Rolex vs. Hublot: Popularity, Pricing & Resale Value

Popularity & Pricing: Rolex is the most popular watch brand in the world, and is perhaps the only brand that non-watch people would immediately recognize. It is because of this that demand and pricing at the lower end of a piece’s range will always be relatively stable, especially for their steel sports models. It’s extraordinarily unlikely that you will ever need to sell a Rolex for less than you originally paid for it.

Brand new from a Rolex authorized dealer, prices ranges from $5,800 for an Oyster Perpetual to nearly $15,000 for a steel variant of the Sky-Dweller. Obviously, prices increase rather steeply when you begin looking at precious metal variations.

It’s the secondary market where things get a bit more interesting and is perhaps more indicative of the market for Rolex. While a GMT-Master II Batman on a Jubilee bracelet will cost you $10,700 from an authorized dealer, you are likely to pay over $18,000 for one on the used market. This is the case for a lot of their current models.

Even discontinued pieces, like the “Hulk” Submariner, which cost around $9,000 when new are selling for over $20,000 used. Love it or hate it, this is the price you pay for demand of Rolex, and this is entirely unique to this segment of the industry (i.e., stainless steel sports models in the $10,000-$15,000 price range).

Hublot, on the other hand, can’t pretend to even compete with the popularity of Rolex as a brand. But you don’t buy a Hublot hoping the average person will recognize the watch you’re wearing. You buy a Hublot so that the average person asks what you’re wearing. And Hublot, like nearly all brands not named Rolex, Vacherin Constantin or Patek Phillippe, is cheaper on the secondary market than buying brand new.

Hublot’s most understated model, the Fusion, can be bought for $5,900 directly from Hublot but can be found much cheaper on the used market. This is the case for nearly all of their models. While often times when deciding to purchase a watch, we go in with the intent of the purchase lasting us for the rest of our life but consideration must be made as to resale value, especially when shopping in this segment of the market.

Life happens, and sometimes the need arises to offload a piece or two to fund other expenses. And when comparing these two brands, it’s really not a discussion. As mentioned above, it’s very unlikely that you will ever sell a Rolex for less than you paid for it, and that’s normally the case whether or not you sell it a year after you bought it or a decade.

The ability to maintain its value is one of the strongest attractions to Rolex. And, unfortunately, like most watch brands not named Rolex or Patek Philippe, this is not the case for Hublot.

Rolex Submariner vs. Hublot Big Bang

As we wrap up, it’s worth comparing two of the most recognizable models from each brand. As mentioned previously, the Submariner is one of the most iconic timepieces in the history of watches.

Rolex’s current lineup consists of 8 different variations, ranging from a stainless steel, no-date, version with a black dial and black bezel that retails for approximately $8,950 (reference 124060) to an all 18 carat white gold variant with a date complication, black dial and blue bezel that retails for approximately $40,000 (reference 126619LB).

All variants are 41mm in diameter, are water resistant to 300 meters, have a 120-click unidirectional bezel, and feature a “superlative chronometer” movement with a 70-hour power reserve. And, of course, every model has the instantly recognizable design language of a Rolex Submariner.

As mentioned above, the Hublot Big Bang is currently offered in over 140 different iterations. For purposes of this comparison, we will focus on their base model (reference 301.SX.130.RX), which retails for approximately $12,900.

It’s housed in a case that is 44mm in diameter, water resistant to 100 meters and contains a chronograph complication based on the ETA Valjoux 7753 with a central seconds chronograph hand, 3 sub-registers, and a 41 hour power reserve. It’s mounted on Hublot’s famous rubber strap with a deployant clasp, and comes with a style completely distinct to Hublot.

Final Decision

When deciding which watch gets to grace your wrist for either the next couple of years, or for the rest of your life, the most important thing is to think about what you will like looking at. It takes time to figure out which piece you will want to look at over and over and over again. Both brands have their strengths and weaknesses, which we have attempted to lay out for you here.

Spending several thousand on a timepiece is not a decision to be taken lightly. Do you want to wear a timepiece that is easy to read and is backed by a hundred years of watchmaking history? Then Rolex is your brand. Do you want a brand that is known for its innovation in the industry and is a bit more modern in their design language and use of materials?

Then Hublot is the brand for you. And, just remember, at the end of the day, if the piece you originally purchased is not the piece for you, you can always sell and begin your watch shopping journey again.

Hublot Vs Omega (Features, Brand Value, Appreciation & More) – 2024

Posted on March 24, 2024April 10, 2024 by William Boyd

When it comes to luxury watches, Hublot and Omega are some of the very top names you will find. These brands have established themselves in the luxury watch industry over time. Most people prefer to go with either Hublot or Omega when looking for a renowned Swiss watchmaker. Agreeably, you will not find any better Swiss watchmaker with luxury watches like these two brands.

With their successes, one has to compare to decide which brand is more outstanding. Hence, the Hublot Vs. Omega comparison is one way for watch lovers to determine which brand stands out. One thing you should have at the back of your mind is that these brands produce some of the best watches you can find.

The answer to which brand produces better watches depends on several contexts. In our article, we will address several features spotted by each brand and how these qualities affect their performance.

Things to Consider Before Selecting Your Preferred Watch Choice

Watch lovers know that watches are not just pieces to tell time. For such people, watches represent something more, and some consider watches as coveted accessories that can complement their outfits. Thus, watches can make bold statements about your lifestyle, taste, and sometimes your success.

When choosing a watch, you must understand that there’s a lot at stake. But, how do you pick the right watch to portray your desired personality when it comes fo Hublot and Omega watches? Here are some things you can consider before picking your preferred watch or brand.

The Style

Versatility is an essential feature to consider when deciding on your luxury watch type. Most people prefer something classic and minimal, while some go for recently released timepieces that can do several things more than tell time. Such watches may track your fitness, have a navigation compass, and have a GMT feature that allows you to tell the time in different time zones.

Whatever style you go for, ensure it suits the outfits you wear daily. Additionally, try to pick a neutral color. You may decide to opt for leather, suede or metallic straps, depending on your preference. Most Hublot and Omega watches have great style and class. Hence, you have to consider a collection that suits your everyday lifestyle.

How it Fits

You mustn’t overlook this factor when picking your preferred watch. Your wrist size is an important factor to consider at all times. Thus, you should consider a watch design with a bigger and stronger face if you have a large wrist. A thin, small watch may look too delicate on a large wrist.

Equally, a stronger face or bigger watch may look out of place on a smaller wrist. You must consider either Hublor or Omega watches if they match well with your wrist size. You may need to pay close attention to features like diameter and lug-to-lug to help you make a better choice.

Price Vs. Value Retention

Vintage watches tend to retain and even increase in pricing after you purchase them. However, some Hublot and Omega watches may not share such features. Instead, these watches may drop in value after you purchase them.

If you want to purchase an expensive Hublot or Omega watch to sell it later, you must check how much such a pre-owned watch costs compared to new versions of the same brand and model. Expensive Omega and Hublot watches tend to have good value retention once purchased. However, you may need to research to determine which model within the brands to purchase.

Maintenance

It would help if you considered watches from brands with more robust and durable watches. Luckily, both Hublot and Omega watches have a good reputation for producing durable and strong watches. You may not need to spend money on these watches after purchasing them. If, however, you spend on maintenance, the fee will not cost much.

Hublot Vs. Omega Watches: Which is Better?

There are about 16 watch brands that feature in the top 50 Swiss brand watches. This ranking tells you just how essential watchmaking is to the Swiss community. Before we delve into the comparisons, let us look at each brand and what they portray.

About Omega Watches

When you talk of Swiss luxury watches, you must mention Omega SA. Omega watches are a subsidiary of the Swatch Group and have a museum full of historic watches. The brand is significant because, since its inception, many reputable people and organizations have worn its watches. In 1917, the combat units of the Royal Flying Corps of Britain wore the watches, while in 1918, the U.S Army used Omega’s watches in its units.

Once again, Omega was the watch of choice for NASA’s 1969 Apollo 11 mission. Additionally, the brand has remained the official timekeeper of the Olympics since 1932. The brand is also a partner of the 2022 Winter Olympics and the official timekeeper of America’s Cup yacht race. Some of Omega’s most respectable watches include the Omega Speedmaster which was declared “Flight Qualified” in 1965 and certified for use by all Crewed Space Missions.

Thus, Buzz Aldrin wore an Omega Speedmaster watch to the moon in 1969. Another piece of high reputation under the brand is the Omega Stainless Steel Tourbillon 301, actioned at $1.43 million in 2017. The watch was the most expensive ever auctioned until 2018—the Omega wristwatch Ref. H6582/D96043 (1960) is another interesting timepiece to consider.

The watch once belonged to Elvis Presley and was auctioned by Phillips in 2018 for $1.812 million to make it the most expensive Omega timepiece ever auctioned. Omega has positioned itself as one of the best in the luxury watch market with its unique product line.

Their products capture people looking for higher-end iconic watches and also those who need affordable but high-end pieces. Some of their watches carry special features specifically tailored for such situations. With Omega, you will find many elegant dress watches and also high-quality tool watches.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Buying Omega Watches

There are several pros and cons associated with buying Omega watches, and we will now look at these advantages and disadvantages.

Pros

Omega has a brand value nine times that of Hublot watches. Furthermore, the watches have almost 70% international brand recall. Hence, buying an Omega watch allows you to enjoy a superior quality guarantee.
The brand has a mirage of choices you can consider. There are more than a thousand lesser known watch models which you can consider when patronizing this brand.
Although Omega has high-quality watches, you will find that their products are relatively affordable compared to Hublot.
Omega has reputable professional watches, including the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch specially designed for astronauts. The Omega watch was the first ever to grace the moon’s surface.

Cons

Omega does not produce many limited, special, and numbered edition watches like other brands. You may have to patronize another brand if you are a lover of these kinds of watches.
The brand also does not produce as many high-priced blingy watches as other brands. Hence, you may have to look elsewhere (Hublot does better in this category).

A Look at Hublot Watches

Hublot watches are the creation of Carlo Crocco, who named them after a French word meaning “porthole.” His watch featured the very first natural rubber strap used in the history of watchmaking. LVMH acquired the brand from its founder in 2008 for an undisclosed fee. As of 2019, the brand had 169 boutiques littered across several countries, a tremendous improvement after it launched its mono-brand store in 2007 in Paris.

Since its inception, Hublot has grown to become one of the top luxury watch brands in the industry. The brand has stores in several locations like Bal Harbour, Boca Raton, Beverly Hills, Dallas Houston, etc. Additionally, you can find its flagship store on Bond Street, London.

Another of Hublot’s most renowned wristwatches is the Big Bang Meca-10 which is available in magic gold, titanium, or king gold. The Hublot Big Bang Unico GMT is another reputable watch which comes in carbon fiber or titanium.

Cons

Hublot watches cost a tad more than Omega luxury watches. In addition, they don’t have a great resale value compared to other top brands.

Hublot Vs. Omega Comparison

Brand Recognition

The Hublot Vs. Omega comparison takes into consideration several factors. One such factor is the ranking of these brands in the top 50 Swiss brands. Omega is the seventh most reputable brand worldwide, while it is also the second most reputable Swiss watch brand. The brand has a reputation for its 70% international brand recognition.

Hublot, on the other hand, is ranked 40th in the top 50 Swiss brands list. Additionally, the brand is the 14th most reputable Swiss watch brand worldwide. Does this make Hublot a less major brand? No! Hublot is a major brand through and through.

Many people tend to remember Omega watches more than their Hublot counterparts. However, any watch connoisseur knows that Hublot has some tremendous achievements and has earned respect in the watch business despite being younger than Omega.

Considering the resale value, you will get more money reselling Hublot watches compared to your Omega watch. Does that make Omega watches less valuable? No. Omega has excellent watches as well. However, the value of a watch depends on things like the brand value, recognition and resale value.

Which is better: the Hublot Classic Fusion Automatic (38mm men’s watch) or the Seamaster 300m (35mm) Men’s Omega constellation Quartz?

The two watches have unique features that make them stand out. However, while the former uses mechanical movements, the latter uses battery-powered quartz movements.

Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari Watch: Everything You Need To Know

Posted on October 30, 2023January 15, 2024 by Muhammad Khan

The symbiotic relationship between motorcars and wristwatches has been observed since the penultimate turn of the century. Cars were replacing horses around about the same time pocket watches were slipping out of long coats and onto the wrist.

While both machines were tooled for a purpose, the most sought-after modern evolutions serve as harbingers of passion and laborious luxury. At Hublot, that luxury isn’t as subtle. The MP-05 is the brand’s latest tribute to Ferrari’s hybrid holy grail that ditches standard automotive complications for one hell of a centerpiece.

About The Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari

To understand the MP-05 LaFerrari, it’s best to tilt your skull and knock out all preconceived notions of what a mechanical watch is supposed to look like. Did you think of a timepiece with at least two lines of symmetry? Not here. What about hands? Shouldn’t they be clearly defined and sweeping? If you were born in 1812, sure. Uh, does it tell the time? That it does, but if you’re buying this watch, you won’t be looking at the time.

The MP-05 adopts a trapezoidal curved case of considerably large – and quite frankly uncouth – dimension. It’s neither smooth nor flat, with galea-like embellishments that start at the top where such a piece might sit and trickle down its sides towards the base.

The case, available in titanium, ceramic, or sapphire, looks nearer to a museum display than a traditional watch case, unveiling a central dimension of viewing beyond the normal scope. What’s all this clear real estate, you ask? Simply put, the heart of Ferrari.

To wrap your head around the movement, it’s better to think of a miniature model of Ferrari’s LaFerrari V12. Further, this particular V12 ditches gas for spring-loaded inertia, and instead of generating power and torque, it produces time. Oh, and it’s got a tourbillon.

Curiously, though, it’s not an automatic, instead using a hand-wound movement as the driving force for this engine. I say it’s curious because if we stop for a second and look at the significance of the LaFerrari, it’s the amalgamation of modern technology that can contain such brutality in a user-friendly package.

I don’t know about you, but winding a non-dress watch every morning doesn’t bode well with the life of a worry-free billionaire. In the midst of all the craziness, there’s a Ferrari embroidered rubber strap that incorporates much of the prancing horse’s interior piping and stitching design, so there’s no doubt that while it may say Hublot, it’s really another Ferrari.

History Of Hublot And Ferrari Collaborations

Considering that Hublot hasn’t been around long enough to broker multi-year relationships in motorsport, it’s made quite a splash with Ferrari. The Italian automaker’s relationship with Hublot is one for the tabloids. It’s proof that Ferrari’s poor decisions in strategy were consistent off the track.

Nevertheless, Hublot and Ferrari found each other deep in one another’s eyes in 2011, following a deal that would tie every facet of Ferrari’s racing divisions to Hublot’s hip. Members of Scuderia’s GT3 team brandished Big Bangs as much as Sebastien Vettel did.

Baselworld 2012 debuted the partnership with a Hublot flagship with an Italian twist – the Big Bang Ferrari. A genuinely important watch for the brand on its own, the ‘generic’ Big Bang raged against the critics of its machine with an adopter of its first in-house movement, the UNICO.

Ferrari’s imitation saw a multi-dimensional prancing horse in place of an hour totalizer or small seconds sub-dial. In fact, neither of those functions that make up ⅔ of a traditional chronograph are there.

You do get a minute’s chronograph dial and seconds chronograph hand, though, for your trouble. In all honesty, it wasn’t the greatest achievement between a legendary race team and a watchmaker, even in its musings in yellow gold or titanium.

Sitting in Ferrari’s mid-engined V8 at the time, you could see fragments of the dash and the seats subtly woven into the face, but for whatever reason, it never gelled with me. It had this urging sense of boy racer tackiness, only made worse by the Big Bang’s visible date ring.

A year later, though, we got a big boy watch for a big boy brand. The MP-05 LaFerrari exalted its automotive namesake with a skeletonized movement inspired by the car’s honking V12 power plant.

Released first in brushed titanium, the MP-05 has seen re-releases in other materials and highlighting accents in the years since its inception. The most impressive of which came in 2017 with the MP-05 LaFerrari Sapphire.

For those of you who aren’t the keenest gas guzzlers, let’s get you up to speed on the jewel of the holy trinity on which this Hublot is based. The Ferrari LaFerrari. It’s best to ignore the flagrant obviousness of its rather unimaginative title.

It was designed to represent a distilled thoroughbred racehorse – from another dimension. Its shape was an imposition to the delicate Ferrari, relying on fierce air to mold most of its body. Its eager face, both grinning and gulping, foreshadowed an untamed rage well before any arousal of its power.

And goodness me, there was power. Fifty shy of a thousand horses and a satan-invoking derivation of torque. All that from a 6.3L naturally aspirated V12 that’s further injected with an electric motor. And a KERS system for regenerative braking plucked straight from F1’s hybrid era.

Basically, it’s the most complicated Ferrari ever surmised. And, like it or not, the MP-05 is worthy of respect for its interpretation of this unrelenting, unprecedented machine.

Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari: In-Depth Review

Now that you’ve got a baseline on what we’re looking at here, I’d say it’s about time to get a little nerdy. In our breakdown, we’ll go through specifications and references that have popped up in the model’s lifetime, and I’ll try to give you some closing thoughts on what I think it’s worth to the industry beyond its market appraised value.

Case

To date, four case offerings exist. The launch variant in brushed titanium, a further Hublot ‘All Black’ titanium coated in black PVD, an even more limited gold, and a final hurrah in sapphire. If you thought working with titanium was hard, the latter sapphire would prove to be a completely different ball game. But we’ll get to that later.

The case in all model variations measures 45mm across. It’s a towering thing, too, with thickness coming in around the 17mm marking. The Sapphire’s makeup, in particular, is slightly different from the rest of the watches, displaying Ferrari’s prancing horse motif at the top of the case while the others are empty.

Dial

El visage, as it were, is hardly visible, nor is it the focal point of this piece. Beneath the barrels and gears, there is a flattened surface that matches the makeup of each selected case. It’s just there as a grounding base for your viewing pleasure.

Movement

Not only is the movement an eclectic centerpiece for its automotive composition, it’s also a world record holder. Still unbeaten today, the HUB9005 manual-wound movement arms 11 spring-loaded barrels and a suspended vertical tourbillon to fire up a 50-hour power reserve. The tourbillon is housed in an independent cage and can be spun up by a Hublot’s miniature torque gun. How’s that for an F1 tribute?

Strap

The strap is humbling in the face of the MP-05’s greatness. It’s a textured rubber thing without much going on, really. In the Sapphire, though, things are a little different. Lanes are grooved into the rubber akin to Ferrari’s Tailor-made seat design.

Should You Buy A Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari?

If you don’t have a LaFerrari, your own bank vault, and a financial position strong enough to get one and never find a market to sell it, most would argue no. It retailed at $338,570 and trades at around $500,000 these days, so it’s not the best investment in the world.

Plus, most people hate it. One because it’s a Hublot. And two, because to traditionalists, it’s borderline offensive in its in-your-face abhorrence than its movement can make up for. For me, it’s a symbol of innovation and deserves admiration for venturing into an unknown where only criticism was a guarantee.

Horology, at times, is ruined by the pedantic, those who view the rules of the past as the rules of the future. The MP-05 crumpled up the rules and journeyed into the fray, just as the LaFerrari did with the hybrid. And as far as I’m concerned, it came out on top.

Conclusion

For whatever you think of Hublot and its escapades, it’d be criminal to dispose of the MP-05’s excellence in watchmaking. It’s not classic or by any means beautiful, but it philosophizes a sublime watch movement—which is to say, an incredibly complex thing engineered for some simple outcome.

Where traditional movements worth talking about seek out difficulty in perpetual calendars and other functions nobody short of Christopher Colombus would find useful, the MP-05’s flying tourbillon mimics the motion of an actual engine through pushers, gears, and a disruptive approach to tradition.

About Hublot Watches

The type of designs and materials Hublot uses for their timepieces has stood them out from other watchmakers.

This unique style of watchmaking had never been seen before, so it made the brand very popular among the elites, and the company has come up with numerous watch innovations ever since.

After working for the Breil watch company for many years, Carlo Crocco started his watchmaking company, so the Swiss brand Hublot was founded in 1980. With his experience in designing timepieces, Carlo wanted to create something the world had never seen before, a watch that would grab the attention of everyone. He took inspiration from the rubber tires of Formula One vehicles and decided to include rubber in the design of his latest invention.

The Classic Fusion hit the market in 1980 and was everything Carlo had dreamt of. It was bold and unique, and everybody loved the watch.

As years went by, the company introduced other materials into the design of their watches, like ceramic, carbon fiber, and titanium. Hublot’s collaboration with Ferrari in 2005 further cemented its place as one of the top watch-making names.
