Hublot MDM Automatic Chronograph

Introducing our Hublot MDM Automatic Chronograph , a timepiece that embodies the brand’s original essence: the fusion of luxury with sporty functionality in a bold and innovative design . This watch is distinguished by its distinctive aesthetic and robust construction, which marked a milestone in watchmaking by combining materials that were unexpected at the time. Its polished and brushed steel case , with a diameter of 40 mm , offers a solid and balanced presence on the wrist, ideal for those seeking a timepiece with character.

The watch’s aesthetics center on its functional black dial , which serves as a backdrop for its chronograph complications. It features three clearly defined subdials: a small seconds subdial at 3 o’clock , a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock , and a 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock , all essential for precise timekeeping. The “feuille” or “leaf” hands and the Luminescent Arabic numerals ensure excellent legibility in any lighting conditions. A tachymeter around the perimeter of the dial allows for speed measurements, while a practical date window at 4 o’clock adds functionality. The screw-down crown guarantees water resistance to 100 meters , making it suitable for water activities.

At the heart of this distinctive timepiece beats an automatic movement , powering its precise chronograph functions. Comfort and style are complemented by an original Hublot rubber strap , a material that was revolutionary when introduced to the world of luxury, and which, secured by an original Hublot butterfly clasp , offers flexibility, durability, and a perfect fit.

The story of Hublot is that of a visionary brand Founded in 1980 by Carlo Crocco, Hublot’s name, “Hublot,” meaning “porthole” in French, is inspired by the design of ship portholes, reflected in the distinctive shape of its watch cases. Hublot ‘s true revolution came with the bold decision to combine precious materials, such as gold, with natural rubber—an unprecedented combination in haute horlogerie at the time. This “Art of Fusion” approach not only created a unique aesthetic but also established Hublot as a disruptive and avant-garde brand. The MDM (Montre des Montres, or “Watch of Watches”) model, like this automatic chronograph, was the brand’s flagship during its early decades, laying the foundation for its success and subsequent explosion under the leadership of Jean-Claude Biver, cementing its reputation for innovation, bold design, and high quality.
