Catalogue Note

The MP-02 Key of Time is Hublot's second addition to their exclusive Masterpiece collection. Launched in 2011, Hublot MP is made up of a dedicated team of 30 engineers, watchmakers and developers devoted to extraordinary and highly intricate movements.  The Key of Time is an innovative wristwatch featuring a flying tourbillon carriage visible through an aperture at 6 o'clock, a 3-day power reserve indication and eccentric seconds feature. A ground-breaking complication, originally developed by BNB Concept in 2009, offers the wearer a unique opportunity to slow down or speed up the flow of time. The crown at the 9 o'clock has three separate settings: four times faster than normal, four times slower, and normal time progression at 60 seconds a minute.
