Hublot Introduces Three Stunning New Additions to its Big Bang Collection

They say less is more and the new Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire is just that. Perhaps the ultimate expression of the “art of fusion”, Hublot has pushed the boundaries once more by creating a new integral bracelet and case custom-made from sapphire. This full sapphire reconstruction in its entirety has achieved a goal of removing almost all visible screws whilst reworking the overall geometry of the case to integrate it with the sapphire bracelet. This creates and illusion of the bridges and main plates being suspended in space and grants ultimate transparency to view the HUB6035 automatic manufacture calibre. The bracelet has its own complexity, comprising 165 components, a third of which were specially designed to complement the transparency of the case. The newly developed titanium inserts ensure a minimalistic look with no protrusions either side of the bracelet links – a manufacturing first for Hublot and quite possibly watchmaking.

Against all odds, Hublot have mastered the creation of a perfect Pantone yellow match in their new Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic ceramic watch. Made from a triple patented high-tech ceramic material, developed and produced by Hublot’s R&D department and its Metallurgy & Materials laboratory, Hublot has achieved the impossible by creating the first bright yellow ceramic, known as Yellow Magic. Limited to just 500 pieces, the Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic harnesses the sunny side of life with its invigorating yellow colour also featuring on the flange, indexes, minute and seconds counters, Arabic numerals, and hands. These are all an eye-popping accent to the Unico HUB1242 manufacture movement that is visible through the transparent dial in all its glory.

Hublot and Sang Bleu have collaborated once again to reveal a trio of new limited-edition ceramic timepieces. The Big Bang Sang Bleu II Ceramic is now available in blue, grey and white, a continuation of the All Black original version. Designed by Maxie Plescia-Buchi, Founder of Sang Bleu, each piece has a radical design with multidimensional appearance. The three colours of ceramic reflect a new perspective of the architecture of the watch with the case, bezel, case middle, strap and dial all constructed with their own geometrical identity. The grey ceramic piece is reminiscent of 21st century great urban structures with shades of grey, created by its geometry, evoking industrial materials. The blue represents a clear nod to the name of the piece (Sang Bleu) used to describe nobility within historical literature, and the white is a simple yet mesmerising mirror image of last year’s All Black version.
