This is sort of a scientific experiment to see how small a case the Antikythera Mechanism function + watch can be put in, in cooperation with the actual scientists who have been researching this important ancient artifact, to which Hublot has been funding as well. Just one piece will go for auction (and the proceed goes to charity) and others will go to either the research institute, museum or Hublot's own future museum and that's it. No need to worry how it would look on your wrist. I would appreciate if you would kindly use more courteous tone on PPro.

Actually, I really think that the Antikythera is the most impressive by far MP watches. A big step ahead when compared with the others. Thanks for the post! Fx
I was very impressed, too!

Yes, he was really charming personality and can't believe he broke his nose numerous times from fencing..... :-) Ken
Incredibly personal interview

I'm really stunned at how open and frank Mr. Buttet was in this interview, about his past and his aims. To have a child at 14! What enormous pressure. I always knew there was a class of "watchmakers" that were the all encompassing "conceptuer" I had imagi...
Thank you, you view echoes mine...

... He and Hublot is a bit under appreciated in certain aspects, but addition of Mathias would enormously give Hublot advantage in R&D. I would keep by both eyes on them, where they go, what they do, etc. Thanks, Ophiuchus! Ken
Two things

One--congratulations on not copying AP on this model. Two: has the world gone insane or is no one looking at how this watch REALLY looks on the wrist? Guys: please. ...

Sorry

I will do so. I should not post on the Hublot forum. Because I don't think highly of the brand. To each his own, and I will be more courteous.
Interesting pieces...

I actually like the bullet-shaped piece. Those are some really funky pieces, definitely very interesting. Thanks for sharing this interesting interview with these watches that I haven't seen anywhere else!
