About Hublot Exceptional Timepieces
The Hublot MP series, which forms the core of the Exceptional Timepieces collection, was introduced to showcase complications and constructions that fall outside the brand's main Classic Fusion and Big Bang families. Each MP reference is engineered around a single defining idea, whether that is an unconventional power-transmission system, an extreme power reserve, or a signature artistic collaboration. The MP-11 14-Day Power Reserve houses a visually striking row of seven parallel barrels that deliver its namesake fourteen days of running time, while the MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash brings together Hublot's cylindrical Meca-10 architecture with a case rendered in black sapphire and titanium alongside the distinctive splash aesthetic co-developed with artist Daniel Arsham. Cases in this collection typically measure 42 mm to 45 mm and rely heavily on sapphire crystal, titanium, and carbon to keep weight low while maximizing visual drama.
What to Look For
Buyers exploring Hublot Exceptional Timepieces should pay close attention to case material and reference number, as the difference between a titanium-and-sapphire configuration and an all-black or full-sapphire build significantly affects both rarity and market value. Limited-edition and artist-collaboration references such as the Arsham Splash command premiums over standard production variants, so confirming the exact reference number, for example 917.NJ.6909.RX versus 911.JB.0140.RX, is essential before purchase. Condition of the sapphire case, completeness of box and papers, and service history are the primary value drivers across this collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Hublot MP-11 14-Day Power Reserve special?
The MP-11 achieves its fourteen-day power reserve through a linear arrangement of seven series-coupled mainspring barrels that are fully visible through the open-worked case and sapphire crystal. Reference 911.JB.0140.RX pairs this movement with a black sapphire case measuring 45 mm, making the internal mechanics the centerpiece of the design. It is one of the most technically ambitious long-power-reserve watches Hublot has produced.
Who is the Hublot MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash made in collaboration with?
The MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash, reference 917.NJ.6909.RX, is a collaboration between Hublot and American artist Daniel Arsham, known for his eroded and crystallized object aesthetic. The watch combines Hublot's Meca-10 cylindrical power-transmission movement with a 42 mm titanium and sapphire case finished in Arsham's signature splash visual language. Collaboration pieces in the Exceptional Timepieces line are produced in limited numbers, which typically supports stronger long-term collector demand.
