Hublot has recently launched its new 'Big Bang MP-11' watch. The Big Bang MP-11will be an extremely limited edition watch with only 20 units being produced, each of which will have a $127,000 price point. The watch is also comprised of a material called SAXEM, which stands for Sapphire Aluminum oXide and rare Earth Mineral. SAXEM has never been used in watches until now.
Hublot's Big Bang MP-11 watch features water resistance up to depths of 30 meters. The watch has black titanium screws on the bezel. Powering the watch is a HUB9011 caliber movement system that has a seven-barrel power reserve that can run for two weeks. The watch also has a helical gear that transfers energy to the horizontal axis.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Limited Edition Watches
- Limited edition watches like the Big Bang MP-11 present an opportunity for brands to create exclusivity and high-demand among collectors.
- SAXEM Material
- The use of SAXEM in watchmaking opens up possibilities for incorporating rare and innovative materials to enhance aesthetics and performance.
- Long Power Reserve
- The development of watch movements with extended power reserves, like the HUB9011 caliber, provides the potential for improved user convenience and timepiece functionality.
Sectors Adopting This
- Luxury Watchmaking
- Luxury watchmakers can leverage limited edition releases and unique materials to create a sense of exclusivity and cater to high-end clientele.
- Materials Engineering
- The application of innovative materials such as SAXEM in various industries, including watchmaking, presents opportunities for materials engineers to push boundaries and explore new possibilities.
- Timepiece Technology
- Developing watch movements with extended power reserves and efficient energy transfer mechanisms can disrupt the timepiece industry by offering enhanced performance and user experience.
