The Hubolt UNICO movement - How It's Made

Posted 1 year, 5 months ago

If you always wondered how do they make it, now is the chance to find out. This is a fantastic short video of the UNICO movement being put together and then encased in a "King Power".

Hubolt's first in house movement is finally revealed! Hublot’s family of Calibers, UNICO, is 100% in-house movement for the 21st century. Starting by the end of 2010, most of the "King Power" pieces will have a home-made UNICO beating in their chest.

The movement is entirely designed and built in Switzerland, and it is a result of a long research of mastercrafters at Hubolt.

The first movement, featured on the pictures, is revealed this year, while the second Unico 1110, a three-handed movement, is yet to be officially announced.

Hubolt's UNICO movement is composed of 330 components and provides approximately 70 hours of power reserve. It is a flyback chronograph movement designated to be part of Hublot’s new “King Power” models which were introduced earlier this year. The movement provides basic timekeeping functionality as well as 60-second and 60-minute chronograph and a date function.

People from the Hubolt say: “The aim is to produce 2,000 UNICO movements in 2010, and close to 20,000 in the medium term.”
