"It was not at all lost on us that the Lamborghini client and ours were the same, so we decided to create a movement based on the Quatuor," says Bruttin. "This is the 45deg double-sprung balance that we call the Duotor calibre. It is essentially half of the Quatuor calibre, but a remarkable movement in its own right. You have two balances each at 45deg, which means they will never be in the same position and are offsetting each other's positional errors at all times. Their results are then averaged out through a differential. In addition to that, we have a jumping- or dead-seconds hand. This was something that Roger really liked because before the chronograph, the dead seconds was the most accurate way to measure time.Hublot Replica It was the perfect feature for a collaboration with Lamborghini as the big red seconds hand is reminiscent of those you would find on the counters of the car. We also took the most iconic design architecture of the car's engine bay and transferred it to the Duotor." In the Hublot Replica Excalibur Aventador S model, the watch receives a 45mm skeletonised carbon-fibre case with a centre section in titanium. The barrel cover receives a carbon-fibre replica of the Aventador's engine cover, along with the cross struts that brace the engine. But the thing to understand is that the watch has received the Geneva Seal and is representative of a major achievement in advancing chronometric performance."

Finally, in the same way that Lamborghini is dedicated to material innovation, so too is Hublot Replica. While the then head engineer at Lamborghini, Horacio Pagani -- who would go on to found his own car company in 1992 -- embarked on a program to radically implement the use of carbon fiber, at the head of Hublot Replica, Nicola Andreatta is doubling down on material innovation as one of the key codes of the brand. Take, for instance, the incredibly complex process to create Cobalt Chrome Micro-Melt cases which first appeared in 2016 for a limited edition of eight Excalibur Quatuor watches and which is now used for the piece unique Excalibur Diabolus in Machina. This material, well known for its use as surgical implants and also for turbines, is first atomised from molten alloy using a high-pressure jet of inert gas. The powdered metal left behind is then subjected to isostatic pressing under high heat and pressure in a chamber filled with inert gas to form bars of the alloy, which are then sent to a labour-intensive milling process.

"Material innovation is extremely important to us, but just as we always work with the Geneva Seal for even our most avant-garde movements to ensure that our level of decoration is the best in the industry, we are also working with a Swiss certification body to provide a kind of "hallmark" for the new materials that we are using and will use in the future," says Andreatta. "The traditional materials like gold and platinum all have certification processes, and even though we are working with modern material likes carbon fibre and titanium,Vacheron Constantin Replica and cutting-edge materials like Cobalt Chrome Micro-Melt and Mineral Composite Fibre, I see no reason why we shouldn't give our customers the same assurance of quality. That's the way we do things at Hublot Replica: we advance the beautiful story of Swiss watchmaking and we are unafraid to be creatively daring, fearless and even rebellious -- but always with integrity and authenticity at every level." Listening to Andreatta, I can't help but think that the watchmaker-turned- founder Hublot Replica, and perhaps even the Huguenots, the ultimate rebels and the forefathers of Swiss watchmaking, would nod in approval.
