Alexander, of all the quick interchange systems you've encountered from every brand which would you say feels the nicest? I think Zenith or Hublot but you've had hands-on experience!
I quite like that turquoise sapphire case. Hopefully sometime a procedure will be created that makes sapphire cased watches more mainstream and affordable. PS if you want to get people's real opinions on something like the MP10 you should cover the Hublot name with some blue painters tape, tell everyone its covering the limited edition number of an MB&F or Urwerk and see if a bunch of positive comments start rolling in. I expect if any other brand made these watches they'd be lauded.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us! Why worry what some guys out there say/think? Hublot was and will always be a niche brand… What they are able to do is impressive and like you did we should all show respect…
One of the issues with Sapphire cases is the shear pain in the rear it is to work with. You have to slowly grind the sapphire down to a dust in a very time consuming process, not to mention delicate process. If the heat builds up too much you can actually burn the sapphire crystal causing unsightly marks on the stone. And looking at the depth of the MP-10's crystal you could imagine how slow it is to grind that much sapphire away. Sapphire is very under appreciated in the watch collecting scene because to truly appreciate it you must also have a passion for lapidary and gemmology and as soon as a watch collector hears anything related about jewellery' they dismiss it in an instant.
The MP-10 is very interesting. I always go to WA for the watch information and close ups.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for the compliment!

The one Hermès uses for its watch “Cut” …. Have you watched the video yet?
@@WatchAdvisor I have! Was also thinking about the new Hermes but wasn't sure, after all its quite a bit cheaper!

No fan of the brand at all, but the first presented watch is very cool and innovative...
It is… thanks for sharing! Different approach… Hublot dares… many others don’t… 😜
I really like the water blue, but why oh why put the “14 Day Power Reserve” across the front sapphire?!
Vet good question! I asked them the same…
My favorite Hublot of 2024 is Big bang unico ceramic dark green.
Thanks for sharing!
that blue is spectacular
The full sapphire crystal case is stunning… and that blue as well 😉
Stunning!
Thanks for sharing!
Price is a bit steep....
Yes!
Why on earth would anyone buy or wear these monstrosities?
Why not? Tastes are different…
I mean.. yeah. Cool watch. For like 80.000€ even competitive. But for A quarter of a million Swiss Francs 😂😂 get out of here
I hear you… but that’s how it is… they know for what they can sell such watches…
@@WatchAdvisor you can get a brand new Ferrari Roma with full options for that money.
@@Ossory88 Some will buy both… that’s life…
@@WatchAdvisor I would bet you money that literally not a single person on earth would buy both.
How can you be so sure?
