Hublot Takes MP-09 To The Next Level With 3D Carbon Case In Color

The MP-09 has always been an imposing watch within the collection of Hublot. It was the brand's first bi-axis tourbillon, which gets center stage thanks to the uniquely shaped case that follows the curve of the wrist. This alone makes the MP-09 a masterpiece, as crafting all the different angles is highly complex. Initially, the model was launched in King Gold, black 3D Carbon, and titanium. Now, Hublot is launching an additional four different versions, all in colored 3D Carbon.
