"THE WATCH WITH ROPE"
Above the automatic calibre HUB4100 movement, between two sapphire crystal panes on the back sits a 3 cm piece of mountaineering rope which was found at 4,320 m on the north-east ridge of the Matterhorn. The subsidiary seconds dial at 9 o’clock is engraved with the iconic silhouette of the "Grand Pic". Hublot launched this timepiece in 2017 to commemorate the anniversary of the first ascent of the Matterhorn – two wrist chronographs in wolfram or red gold cases were brought on the market in editions of 150 pieces each; they took their name from after Zermatt, the town at the foot of the mountain.
