The intersection of sculpture and horology has never been more daring. With the Hublot Arsham Splash, Daniel Arsham once again redefines the limits of timekeeping.
Arsham, the artist from Cleveland—now a New York creative powerhouse—joins forces with the avant-garde Swiss watchmaker Hublot for a creation that blurs boundaries between functionality and form.
The result, officially called the Hublot MP-17 MECA-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire, is an ode to experimentation, technology, and art in motion.
Limited to only 99 pieces, it is a study in futuristic asymmetry, made possible through years of collaboration and innovation.
The Genesis of an Unlikely Shape
When Arsham first conceived the idea, he envisioned a timepiece that resisted every traditional expectation.
He wanted something deliberately irregular, something that would make even seasoned watchmakers pause.
“Hublot is used to symmetry,” he once explained. “None of their machines were designed to make something this unbalanced.”
That challenge became the foundation of the Splash—an organic, sculptural form that feels less like a watch and more like a wearable artifact.
