HUBLOT – Big Bang Meca-10 King Gold

Hublot’s Meccano-inspired Meca-10 is an exciting development for Hublot. At the heart of this watch (and its appeal) is the movement. The HUB1201 is a big old manual wind, with two barrels packing in a potent 10 days of power reserve (hence the 10 in the name), and spiced up with some typically Hublot skeletonised architecture. It’s a cool movement, but this new golden incarnation gives it a whole new mood. Other versions play to contrast, all black and steel. This version, however, is suffused with light, giving you an unobstructed view into the depths of the movement, every barrel and bridge lit up like they’re under lights. And the whole (very pretty) picture is framed beautifully by the King Gold case.
