This Watch Has No Dial, No Hands, And Still Costs More Than Your Car

• The Hublot MP-10 Tourbillon tells time using rollers, linear weights, and a 35° inclined tourbillon.
• Two new ultra-limited editions in black ceramic and sapphire redefine how a high-complication watch can look.
• The MP-10 is less a timepiece and more a wearable mechanical sculpture for collectors who’ve outgrown traditional luxury.

No dial. No hands. No problem. That’s the Hublot MP-10 Tourbillon. A watch so far removed from traditional horology, it barely qualifies as a timepiece. And that’s exactly the point.

Three years ago, Hublot released the first MP-10. It was a mechanical UFO — a brutalist machine made for the wrist. Now, in 2025, they’ve gone even further with two new limited editions: one in stealthy black ceramic, the other in fully transparent sapphire. Both are ridiculous. And of course, both are sold out.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t for your average Submariner collector. The MP-10 is haute horlogerie reimagined as contempory science fiction. But then again, I wouldn’t expect anything less from the resident disruptors of the comfortable Swiss luxury market.

Hublot’s new MP-10 doesn’t come with any hour markers. There’s no second hand. No bezel. Instead, you get four rollers, two linear winding weights, and a tourbillon inclined at 35 degrees. If that sounds too complicated to understand, it’s because it is.

The movement itself boasts 592 components and is powered by a pair of vertical weights. Instead of a traditional rotor, these slide up and down to wind the mainspring.

The time is displayed on rollers at the top of the case, read horizontally through a magnified sapphire window. Below that, sits a circular power reserve indicator, colour-coded in green, orange, and red. At the base of the timpiece, a rotating tourbillon doubles as a seconds counter.

It’s not intuitive at all, and will likely take a few moments to get used to all the intricacies of this spectacular timepiece… but it’s completely worth it.

The case itself is a feat of engineering. Not a single right angle in sight. Instead, you get a fluid geometry designed to reflect the movement from all sides.

The black ceramic version is dark, brooding, and unapologetically aggressive — a nod to one of Hublot’s more iconic collections, the All-Black series. Conversly, the sapphire model is the exact opposite: it’s light, ethereal, and completely see-through, right down to the translucent strap. It’s a nice touch from Hublot, catering to both palettes after the launch of the skeleton version of this piece at LVMH Watch Week last year.

Both versions in 2025 are also limited: 50 pieces in black, just 30 in sapphire. That’s fewer than most concept cars, but still shows Hublot at its best — divisive, over-engineered, and proudly unhinged. For years, the brand has taken flak for its fusion design language. But watches like the MP-10 prove they’re pushing the medium forward.

Because watches like this are a reminder that timekeeping is just the excuse. What Hublot is selling here isn’t a product. It says: “We can, so we did.” A wearable testament to the brand’s enduring commitment to avant-garde design. In a world where every major brand is reissuing the same three heritage models, Hublot is building something absurd, unnecessary, and completely brilliant. And yes, it costs more than your car.
