The movements story

Designed by
Hublot

      Intricate movements

      In Action

      Requiring over 2 years of research and development, the in-house Unico movement is in a league of its own

      Consisting of no less than 330 individually assembled components, the original Unico movement features an integrated flyback chronograph with a column-wheel mechanism positioned on the dial side of the movement; something of a rarity in the world of haute horlogerie. Since its creation, the Unico movement has also been made with additional functions and complications, including a world-time GMT and a patented bi-retrograde chronograph for timing football matches.

      « Hublot's strength resides in its very clear identity - the art of fusion - this unique ability to create timepieces which combine tradition and innovation. »

      The process

      Designing a
      movement

      From the idea and the first pencil stroke, Hublot’s micro-technology engineers and designers put together a dossier of plans that will be used to manufacture the components of a new movement.

      • 10 people

        It takes over 10 people across all fields to design and develop a bespoke Hublot movement.

      • 2 years

        It took a total of 2 years to design the Hublot Unico Flyback Chronograph movement.

      Designing a movement

      The conception of a movement begins with an idea put onto paper in rough pencil sketches, with a clear vision in mind in terms of desired basic functions, complications and a general shape or aesthetic direction. Once the basic movement design is established, the micro-engineers and draftsmen put together a precise blueprint of the movement and its individual components, as well as the methodology for their production and assembly.
