Hublot is proud to present a unique version of its Flying Tourbillon “SoloT” realized especially for the charitable auction “Only Watch 2005”: The entire proceeds of this auction organised by Antiquorum will be donated to the Monegasque Association against Duchenne's Muscular Distrophy (AMCM), Association presided by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco.

The unique Flying Hublot Tourbillon “SoloT” created for “Only Watch 2005” is one of the purest Tourbillon ever presented, combining the noblest new materials with the latest state-of-the-art technologies through an interpretation of the top side of the bottom plate, which recaptures the aesthetics of ultimate cutting-edge techniques inspired by the printed circuit. The bridges have been lacquered in red to replicate the armorial bearings of Monaco.

The outstanding “SOLO T” Tourbillon is an exclusive flying Tourbillon measuring 13 1/4 Parisian lines, 30 mm in diameter, housed in a 13 mm diameter cage without ball bearing and raised 2.80 mm above the bottom plate.

This tremendous feat of watchmaking engineering creates the illusion that the “SOLO T” Tourbillon is suspended in mid-air, hence the term 'flying', and, for the first time, is open to view on all sides, including laterally. It also comprises a Gyromax type balance spring with gold regulating inertia-blocks and has a power reserve of over 120 hours.

Hublot has chosen a totally minimalist opalin dial with Clou de Paris decoration in order to enhance this remarkable flying Tourbillon.
