Following the success of the transformable pocket watch, the MP-16 Arsham Droplet, Hublot, and Daniel Arsham continue pushing the boundaries of horological creativity with a new timepiece that once again rewrites the rulebook on watch design. Drawing inspiration from the dynamic essence of water, organic forms, and sheer transparency, this latest creation translates the fluidity of nature into a bold, modern aesthetic. The result is a watch that moves effortlessly between sculpture and function.

The MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire represents the perfect fusion of Hublot’s renowned Art of Fusion philosophy and Arsham’s unique approach to fictional archaeology. Known for reimagining contemporary objects as discovered ancient artefacts, Arsham blurs the lines between past, present, and distant future. In this collaboration, those ideas crystallize into a timepiece that feels simultaneously futuristic and timeless, merging conceptual artistry with the technical mastery of modern watchmaking.
