For Hublot, materials are an integral part of their watches’ design. They must complement their design, while protecting their mechanism and withstand the test of time. As such, the Manufacture has chosen to use high-tech ceramic for certain bezels and cases; it is an ultra-tough and almost entirely scratch-proof material (apart from the diamond) with a base of zirconium sintered at very high temperatures. To display its extraordinary power reserve in a unique and innovative way, Hublot has developed a new watchmaking construction where the usual platinum has been replaced by long bridges fixed on either side of a ring used as a basis for the movement. This original approach combined with the skeletonized components gives the Manufacture HUB1201 caliber a tri-dimensional effect and striking depth, on the side of the case or underneath.
