Hublot MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire: Time, Uncontained

​Hublot has never been a brand to color inside the lines, and the MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire proves it once again. Created in collaboration with New York–based artist Daniel Arsham, this limited-edition piece of 99 captures the kinetic beauty of water in motion—frozen in titanium, sapphire, and imagination. It’s not just a watch; it’s a sculptural experiment in transparency, form, and flow. Inspired by the organic curves of a splash and powered by Hublot’s in-house Meca-10 movement, it’s as much an art piece as it is a timepiece, expressing both Hublot’s technical audacity and Arsham’s fascination with the fluidity of time.

The 42mm case is a masterstroke of the Art of Fusion, merging a frosted sapphire crystal, titanium, and rubber into a single, continuous gesture. A splash-shaped aperture cuts across the dial—an evolution of Arsham’s previous Droplet collaboration—while every curve and contour seems in motion. Beneath this fluid surface beats the Meca-10, a hand-wound movement with a remarkable 10-day power reserve visible through the transparent caseback. Hublot’s signature details remain intact: the six H-screws, the bold lugs, and the architectural balance that has defined the brand since the first Big Bang.​

​It’s an act of creative fearlessness—Hublot letting an artist reinterpret its DNA without restraint. The Splash revels in contradiction: sculptural yet wearable, minimal yet expressive, experimental yet engineered with Swiss precision. Arsham’s signature green illuminates the numerals, markers, and power reserve display, giving the piece an almost sci-fi luminescence that feels alive, in motion, suspended mid-splash. The result is pure creative chemistry between art and horology, collapsing past, present, and future into one continuous moment.

​The MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire is Hublot at its most playful and most profound—a brand unafraid to turn high watchmaking into an art form that drips with personality and invention. Like a drop of water suspended in midair, the MP-17 captures the impossible — time, movement, and mischief, all at once.
