Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Frosted Carbon

DESCRIPTION

The Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Frosted Carbon 444.QN.1170.NR has an Manual Winding movement with with 10 days of power reserve, Carbon dial, Fabric strap and Carbon case material.

Popular in motor racing, carbon possess unrivalled mechanical qualities. It is ultra-lightweight, resists torsion and stands out with its optimal relationship between weight and resistance. This high-tech material is in the form of a fiber mesh embedded in an epoxy resin. Hublot also uses a 3D carbon where the fibers are woven on three planes. Other models use a “frosted” carbon with colored inclusions.

Delivered by two mainspring barrels, the energy level of the movement can be read by means of a digital display that shows the power reserve as the number of days of autonomy remaining. These indications are driven by a “crémaillère” rack system rarely seen in mechanical watches, consisting of a linear gear engaging a circular gear, moving in a straight line. A closer look at this system reveals a mechanism that is more subtle than it appears, composed of two superimposed disks rotating in opposite directions and connected by a spiral spring that coils in their centre like the barrel spring. This results in a very surprising differential display that is nevertheless intuitive to read. .
