Hublot has unveiled a remarkable collaboration with acclaimed contemporary artist Daniel Arsham. The result? The Arsham Droplet, a revolutionary timepiece that breaks the mold of the classic pocket watch. This visionary partnership blends the antique form of a pocket watch with futuristic materials and production methods to create a masterpiece that transcends time itself.
The Arsham Droplet is not just a watch; it’s a multifaceted marvel. A captivating fusion of past, present and future, it offers three different ways of experiencing time: as a pocket watch, a pendant or a stunning table clock. Hublot’s technical expertise meets Arsham’s artistic vision in the Droplet, pushing the boundaries of traditional watchmaking to create a truly transformative horological experience.

Inspired by the organic forms of nature, the Arsham Droplet breaks new ground in the world of timekeeping. This collaboration embodies Hublot and Arsham’s shared passion for defying expectations and creating exceptional pieces. The watch itself is a testament to Hublot’s meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to innovation. Crafted from a harmonious blend of titanium, rubber and sapphire crystal, the Droplet strikes the perfect balance between elegance and durability.
Designed for a truly immersive experience, the Arsham Droplet has an ergonomic and tactile shape that fits comfortably in the hand. Measuring 73.2 mm long, 52.6 mm wide and 22.5 mm thick, the watch strikes the perfect balance between aesthetics and wearability. At its heart is the iconic Hublot Meca-10 manufacture movement, which boasts an impressive 10-day power reserve. This extended power reserve eliminates the need for frequent winding, strengthening the bond between the wearer and this exceptional creation.
For over a decade, Arsham has established himself as a master of fusion, collaborating with a wide range of brands and personalities. His artistic practice thrives on the innovative blend of art, design and popular culture. The partnership with Hublot feels like a natural extension of his creative journey, as both entities share a relentless quest to push the boundaries of their respective fields.
Limited to just 99 pieces, the Arsham Droplet is a true collector’s item and a milestone in modern watchmaking. The timepiece defies conventional notions of a pocket watch with its distinctive rounded drop shape and intricate design. The organic form is complemented by a bold titanium case and custom Arsham Green rubber bumpers, reflecting a clear departure from traditional watchmaking aesthetics.
The Arsham Droplet offers unprecedented versatility. Two titanium chains with Hublot’s patented double “one-click” system allow the watch to be effortlessly transformed from a necklace into a pocket watch. Alternatively, the watch can be displayed as a sculptural centerpiece on its own titanium and mineral glass table stand.

The sandwich construction of the openwork titanium case resembles delicate lace woven in a drop pattern. Two exquisitely crafted domed teardrop crystals complete the sandwich construction. The side bumpers, made of custom Arsham Green rubber, are embossed with the artist’s monogram for a touch of personalization.
Further underscoring its commitment to quality, the case features a double sealing system with no less than 17 O-ring seals to ensure water resistance up to 30 meters. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees the Arsham Droplet’s durability and reliability in any environment.
