Hublot and Daniel Arsham unveil the MP-17 Arsham Splash

The latest evolution in Hublot‘s ongoing partnership with American artist, Daniel Arsham, rewrites the rulebook on watch design, finding inspiration in the dynamic essence of water, organic forms and transparency. A wearable sculpture for the wrist, the MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire drips with Arsham’s creative juices and Hublot’s mechanical know-how. Built with fluid case lines and a splash-shaped dial opening, it showcases the Meca-10, a new, smaller manual-wind movement that can be seen through the dial opening and sapphire caseback.

Véronique Nichanian’s final collection for Hermès

Since entering the Maison at the invitation of Jean-Louis Dumas, Véronique Nichanian has proudly written the story of men’s ready-to-wear, continuously reinventing her approach to the contemporary wardrobe and bringing technique, innovation and heritage together. For nearly 40 years, the artistic director of Hermès Men’s Universe has given men a chic, discreet and timeless elegance, inventing personal details for them and for them only.

This 24 January 2026, those years with Hermès will sadly come to an end, with Nichanian presenting her final collection during Paris Fashion Week. “I am very proud to be part of this big family in which I have been able to flourish and enjoy total creative freedom,” said Nichanian in a press statement. “I thank Jean-Louis Dumas, Axel and Pierre-Alexis Dumas, and all of the teams for putting their trust in me. I also thank my studio, warmly, for all of these shared years, these shared adventures.”
