Reusing Everyday Objects as "Future Relics"

By combining their talents, Hublot and Daniel Arsham—a contemporary artist known for his distinctive way of reusing everyday objects as "future relics"—have produced an intriguing fusion of historical and contemporary elements. With the help of Hublot's impressive technology, Arsham is able to realise his unique artistic vision in the Arsham Droplet, a watch that challenges the limits of traditional watchmaking.

Taking inspiration from natural, organic forms, the Arsham Droplet is a game-changer in the world of horology. The relationship between Hublot and Arsham illustrates their shared commitment to creating innovative, transformative experiences.

The Arsham Droplet is a perfect example of Hublot's unparalleled commitment to innovation and painstaking craftsmanship. Its titanium, rubber, and sapphire crystal combinations are harmonious.

This watch offers an engaging and immersive experience with its ergonomic and tactile design that fits snugly in the hand. Its measurements are 73.2 mm in length, 52.6 mm in breadth, and 22.5 mm in thickness.

The world-renowned Meca-10 manufacturing movement, placed in the heart of the watch, lets the owner appreciate the timepiece for a longer period without often winding it, deepening their connection to this unique work of art. An attractive feature of the watch is its remarkable 10-day power reserve.

Several famous people and companies have worked with Arsham in the past decade. He thinks it's vital that his work creatively blends art, design, and pop culture. His collaboration with Hublot is a natural progression of his ideas, as they both value innovation.

There were only 99 made of the Arsham Droplet, making it a true collector's item and a stunning specimen of modern watchmaking. The distinctive rounded drop form and unparalleled intricacy of the watch disprove conventional wisdom about pocket watches.

The organic design is elevated with a titanium case and rubber bumpers, representing a bold departure from traditional watchmaking techniques. With its beautiful titanium and mineral glass table stand, this multi-purpose clock may be worn as a necklace, used as a pocket watch, or displayed as an attractive piece of art. It features two titanium chains that are expertly connected using Hublot's patented double "one-click" mechanism.

The titanium case has an open-worked pattern that looks like tiny drops of lace. Two exquisitely crafted, teardrop-shaped stones with domes are shown in the sandwich structure. The car has unique rubber side bumpers in Arsham Green that feature the artist's monogram.

This case has a double sealing system that ensures an excellent seal thanks to seventeen strategically placed O-ring seals. This timepiece also showcases the six H-shaped screws that are characteristic of Hublot.

With its cutting-edge watchmaking technology and 30-meter water resistance, the Arsham Droplet is built to last and always be reliable. Because of its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design, this unique piece of art will undoubtedly become a beloved heirloom.
