Spirit of time

Hublot, the Swiss luxury watchmaker renowned for its spirit of innovation, has presented a ground-breaking collaboration with the acclaimed contemporary artist Daniel Arsham. The result is the Arsham Droplet, a revolutionary timepiece that is a reinterpretation of the classic pocket watch and a fusion of antique forms with futuristic materials and production methods. It combines Hublot’s technical mastery with the artist’s distinctive vision. Inspired by organic, fluid forms, this collaboration demonstrates a commitment to exceptional and transformative experiences. Crafted in titanium, rubber and sapphire crystal, it reflects Hublot’s attention to detail and innovation.

Measuring 73.2 mm x 52.6 mm x 22.5 mm, its ergonomic design fits perfectly in the hand and is powered by Hublot’s iconic Meca-10 movement with a 10-day power reserve. Limited to 99 pieces, the Arsham Droplet is a true collector’s item that challenges conventional notions of a pocket watch. Presented with two titanium chains for versatile wearability, the watch can also be a sculptural centrepiece. The case is fitted with 17 O-ring gaskets for a perfect seal and features Hublot’s signature six H-shaped screws. Water-resistant to 30 meters, the Arsham Droplet combines durability with exceptional craftsmanship.
