OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovative concept,
which began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This “Art
of Fusion” stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude
Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012.
The release of the iconic, multi-award-winning Big Bang in 2005 paved the way
for new flagship collections (Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang), with
complications ranging from the simple or the highly sophisticated,
establishing the extraordinary DNA of the Swiss watchmaking manufacture and
ensuring its impressive growth.
You have chosen a Hublot Meca-10 clock, driven by a mechanical, hand-wound
skeleton movement with a 10-day power reserve. As it is a transitional object,
the Meca-10 movement and its mechanical architecture have been created for
all enthusiasts who have spent hours assembling and disassembling technical
constructions. The original construction of this aesthetically complex and
captivating clock can be seen from the dial side and case back.
WINDING
This function means your Hublot clock can accumulate the energy it requires to run properly. It is fitted with a hand-wound movement.
Use
Turn the winding crown (C) clockwise. Winding is complete when the power reserve indicator (E) reaches number 10. Power reserve
When using the clock for the first time or after it has been transported, it is possible that the power reserve indexing may have changed. The movement therefore needs to be fully wound, then left to fully run down to 0 so that the hand indexing is correct. Fully wind the movement again to ensure optimal operation. Take care not to force the crown when the power reserve is full, as this could damage the clock’s mechanism.
Hublot Meca-10 clocks have a power reserve of 10 days, or 240 hours, which is equivalent to around 34 turns of the crown when the power reserve is empty.
TIME-SETTING
This function enables you to set the time on your clock using the crown (C).
Use
Turn the crown (C) anti-clockwise until the desired hour is reached.

Recommendations and maintenance
Hublot clocks are produced and checked according to extremely strict
criteria. To preserve this quality, we recommend a full service every three to
five years. Changes in temperature or humidity can affect the rate of a clock
over the years. Clean your clock with a soft cloth only. In order to ensure it
works optimally, it is vital that the clock is kept vertical, and any type of
impact is avoided.
