Hublot has long stood at the forefront of luxury watchmaking, and the latest iteration of its Unico Calibre Chronograph highlights its ongoing reputation. Initially launched in 2010, the Unico movement revolutionized the luxury watch landscape with a truly unique design and functionality, featuring a visible column wheel and flyback function. Fast forward to today, Hublot continues to push the envelope with the introduction of its next-generation Unico Manufacture movement.
The new caliber 1280, which succeeds the previous caliber 1242, maintains its impressive 72-hour power reserve and stylish dark grey finish. However, it introduces an array of improvements that refine both its aesthetics and mechanics. The caliber 1280 showcases five new patents that simplify assembly, modernize its engineering, and improve accuracy, marking a significant advancement in precision timekeeping.
Hublot has redesigned the movement to meet the preferences of both watchmakers and enthusiasts. The new movement is now encased in a slimmer 42mm case, enhancing overall comfort and wearability. Among technical upgrades are a redesigned winding mechanism that reduces noise and wear, an improved chronograph display, and a patented clutch system that manages energy use. As Hublot presents this sophisticated timepiece at Watches and Wonders 2024, it’s clear that the new Unico Calibre Chronograph has set new benchmarks in the luxury watch industry.
