Hublot is a well known luxury brand, famous for their extravagant designs and materials, even by luxury standards. Hublot’s extreme style has never been more prevalent than in their MP Collection. The MP Collection doesn’t sound very exciting, but once you lay your eyes on the four MP models below, you won’t be able to believe that these luxury timepieces have evaded your radar.
The MP Collection is the result of a partnership with the luxury car brand, Ferrari, hence the name “Laferrari” in this collection. Inspired by the LaFerrari supercar, the “superwatch” design of the MP collection cannot be matched. It cost $300,000 when it was originally launched and with its Swiss-made, uber-technical design, the style blew everyone away. Fast forward to today, and there are four incredible models in the MP Collection by Hublot.

The brand new Laferrari Sapphire is not only a beautiful piece of mechanics and timekeeping, but looks more like a Cobra snake than a timepiece. This look was inspired by the LaFerrari engine bay. This unbelievable design is a fantastic example of Hublot’s innovation and partnership with top brands to create a unique watch that nobody on the planet has anything close to.
When this timepiece was launched, it broke the record for the timepiece with the most number of parts in a single movement, with an incredible 637 parts with 108 jewels. The self winding movement cannot be done manually, so the timepiece comes with drill that is needed to set the time.
The Laferrari Sapphire is a Limited Edition piece, and is one of the most stunning in the entire MP Collection. This Ferrari inspired timepiece features a transparent, hardened Sapphire crystal that dominates the entire watch case. The case is very unusual, made of Polished Sapphire Crystal rather than Steel or Titanium. This crystal also makes up the inner casing, and all of it is anti-reflective, which offers onlookers a fantastic look inside of the entire mechanism of this unique timepiece.
The movement is a HUB9005.H1.PN.1 Manual Winding with Suspended Vertical Tourbillon. This 11 Series coupled movement offers a transparent hour, minute, seconds, and a Power Reserve of an outstanding 50 days.
With a water resistance of 3 ATM, it is best to keep this one of a kind timepiece safe, but you can rest easy knowing that a splash will not harm it. In addition to the unusual Cobra design and transparent Sapphire Crystal construction, the Laferrari Sapphire features transparent smooth straps and a clasp of Polished Sapphire Crystal and Micro Blasted Black Plated Titanium for the deployment buckle clasp.
You will never find another luxury timepiece with the unique materials, innovative design, or fascinating mechanism as the Hublot Laferrari Sapphire. This outstanding transparent timepiece is fascinating to look at and even features sub dials that run vertical and horizontal within the Cobra-style “dial.” The partnership with Ferrari to create this timepiece has completely changed the way luxury watches are thought about.

Featuring 512 components, the MP-12 Key of Time is an all black, skeleton timepiece that features an incredible, concentric dials with red, white, and black dial colors and a black case design. The transparent face is true to the MP Collection by Hublot, but this model looks more like a gas mask than the Ferrari supercar.
The unique MP-12 features Hublot’s updated HUB9012 movement, from the MP-05 watches’ HUB9005 movements. The real magic is on the amazing, multi-layered Sapphire dial.
This skeleton dial features a column wheel and a Power Reserve Tourbillon located on the left hand side. This Power Reserve indicator is bold and prominent, keeping track of the 120 hour reserve power with what looks like a sports car gas gauge. The red indicator hand will count down the reserve until it hits the “red,” where the watch indicates that the reserve power is nearly out of gas.
The main dial is situated in the center and right hand side of the dial, where symmetry does not exist. This dial is concentric — just outside of the main 12-Hour dial is a black, red, and white circle that indicates the seconds, just like on a traditional military style watch. However, the MP-12 Key of Time is anything but your typical timepiece.
