Lot Essay
US$150,000-250,000
With Hublot Certificate of Authenticity, instruction manual, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
The offered King Power model was first introduced to the market in 2011 at the Baselworld Fair. Hublot has presented a world first, a minute repeater watch featuring two "cathedral" type gongs, a flying tourbillon and column wheel chronograph, with carbon fiber bridges, in a case made from carbon fiber.
The present lot is equipped with a sophisticated mechanism, featuring three major Haute Horlogerie complications particularly prized by connoisseurs and collectors, but revisited in a contemporary spirit, the main particularity is that the three complications are visible from the dial side. The minute repeater, activated by a lever situated between 8 and 10 o'clock, sounds the hours, quarter-hours and minutes. Its two "cathedral" gongs (one for hours and the other for minutes) are double the length of a regular gong.
The flying tourbillon is a variation on the traditional model which is supported by a bridge or cock at the top and bottom, this version is cantilevered and supported by a single side. This is a perfect example of "Fusion", a key aspect in the current Hublot collection, between great watchmaking tradition and the technology of the future.
