UNICO Caliber
The incorporation of the various production stages into the manufacture since spring 2009 has enabled Hublot to produce the UNICO chronograph, which was developed exclusively by its own Research & Development Department.
The machining workshop produces bridges, main plates and various steel components, which are assembled by watchmakers specially assigned to this task. A special feature of this flyback chronograph is the position of its mechanism and the famous "column wheel" on the side of the dial. However, one of its main innovations is the retractable platform escapement, on which the watch owner's initials can be engraved by special request! This subtle and ingenious feature facilitates servicing and maintenance of the movement while allowing the timepiece to be personalised. The escapement (escape wheel and pallet fork) is made from silicon, a light, durable and technologically advanced material which resists wear and guarantees more accurate operation.
