Caliber HUB9008 Performance
The manual-winding tourbillon is a feat of miniaturization. This radar chart compares its core functional capacities.
The 105-hour power reserve is exceptional for a high-frequency (3Hz) tourbillon tracking multiple cosmic cycles.
Investment Scale (USD)
Comparing the MSRP of the 2026 editions. The King Gold model represents the absolute pinnacle of the series.
Data reflects international pricing parity for Titanium (908.NX) vs King Gold (908.OX).
Decoding Ancient Cosmic Cycles
The original Antikythera Mechanism was an analog computer designed to track the heavens. Hublot has mechanicalized four distinct cycles into the HUB9008 caliber. This 3D visualization maps the duration of these cycles against their historical significance.
