Spirit of Big Bang Chronographs
Hublot introduces three new colors to the Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph collection: Sand Beige, Dark Green, and Sky Blue, each in limited editions of 200 pieces. These vibrant ceramics, previously exclusive to the Big Bang line, mark a significant expansion for the collection launched in 2014 with its distinctive barrel-shaped case.
The watches feature cases and bezels in colored ceramic, hypoallergenic, light, and scratch-resistant, showcasing Hublot’s material innovation. They are powered by the HUB4700 automatic skeleton chronograph movement, an evolution of the historic El Primero, offering a 50-hour power reserve, and are visible through the open dial and sapphire caseback.
Each model’s dial, markers, and hands match the case color, complemented by black rubber straps with colored inlays. Priced at CHF 24,900, these unique timepieces are available at Hublot boutiques and authorized retailers worldwide.
Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green SAXEM
The Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green SAXEM is a limited edition of 18 pieces, showcasing a pioneering use of SAXEM, a material akin to sapphire but with vibrant color capabilities. The emerald-green transparent case houses the MHUB6035 self-winding tourbillon movement, developed in-house, with a 72-hour power reserve.
The watch’s aesthetic combines the movement’s black finishes with bright green Super-LumiNova on hands and markers for legibility, all visible through a smoked black sapphire crystal dial. A green transparent rubber strap complements the case, secured by a black folding clasp. This model, embodying Hublot’s commitment to innovation, is priced at CHF 210,000 and available at select Hublot boutiques.
Big Bang MECA-10 in a 42mm Case
Hublot reimagines its iconic Big Bang MECA-10 with a new 42mm case, available in King Gold, Titanium, and Frosted Carbon. Launched initially in 2016, the MECA-10 was revolutionary for its open, Meccano-like movement construction. The revamped model retains this ethos, presenting a manual-winding skeleton movement with a 10-day power reserve, showcased through a new, more compact design.
The movement features three linear bridges on a ring-shaped base plate, now with enhanced finishing, including satin-brushed surfaces and hand-polished bevels. The power reserve is indicated through a digital display via a rare “crémaillère” rack system, ensuring an intuitive reading of remaining autonomy. Each version of the watch matches its case material with the movement’s color: 5N gold for King Gold, metallic grey for Titanium, and black for Frosted Carbon.
The Big Bang MECA-10 42mm keeps its signature silhouette, with ergonomic improvements and the “One Click” strap system for ease of wear. The King Gold and Titanium models come with black rubber straps, while the Frosted Carbon variant introduces a black Velcro strap, matching its unique, non-patterned appearance.
