Hublot, the renowned Swiss watchmaking brand, has recently teamed up with L'Epée, a distinguished watchmaker based in the Swiss Jura, to create an oversized version of the famous Hublot in-house MECA-10 movement for pedestal clocks, Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Clock replica (ref. DC.MECA10.SD.SP.1123).
HistoryIn January 2016, Hublot relaunched the MECA-10 movement, which caused a sensation among watch enthusiasts. Now, the brand has redesigned this hand-wound movement, giving it superior timekeeping performance and a unique style inspired by Meccano's constructive mechanical building block toys. The new movement features a distinctive skeletonized architecture that reveals a stunning three-dimensional depth through the bridges and case back. It also offers an astonishing 10-day power reserve, which can be displayed on a disc on the dial. Today, the 10-day power reserve is an indispensable feature of superior hand-wound movements.
In 2020, Hublot will unveil a glamorous oversized horological masterpiece. To match this new chronograph replica, Hublot has quadrupled the size of the MECA-10 movement, while retaining all its original technical specifications, such as the 10-day power reserve.
Strikingly similar to the original, the Hublot MECA-10 Clock replica is, in essence, an oversized version of its predecessor. Its spacious 19.60 by 18.10 cm case houses the precious movement, which comes in two versions. The first features Meccano-inspired angles and a ring in polished satin-finished steel and transparent composite. The second is covered with black PVD and the bridges supporting the gear trains are also coated in black. The notched crown at 3 o'clock is rubber-coated for a better grip when manually winding the movement.
The MovementThe Hublot MECA-10 wristwatch replica movement got away with a full 10 days of power reserve (between two mainspring barrels), operating at 2.5Hz (18,000 bph). The L’Epee clock is the same movement (more or less), but larger. It also operates at 2.5Hz with 10 days of power reserve and is composed of 432 parts. The movement features the time with subsidiary seconds and a neat-looking power reserve indicator system that combines indicators with a view of how the mechanics work.
The copy MECA-10 Clock is basically a desk-clock version of the wristwatch, albeit in a different case. I actually think it would have been even more charming if the clock case looked more like the watch case. That way we could muse about what type of giant might want to put a strap on it and wear it as a wristwatch. Instead, the Hublot MECA-10 Clock replica case is more inspired by marine or cockpit instruments and looks like it is meant to be bolted into a panel.
