Since their advent, Hublot have released avant-garde watches that redefined perceptions in the horological world, much like the Big Bang collection released in 2005. The Hublot Big Bang collection is, in all its essence, a true representation of the brand's bold identity and has emerged as their flagship line. Since its launch, it has seen collaborations with brands and personalities such as Ferrari, DJ Snake, Samuel Ross, FIFA, and Depeche Mode.
Design And Features
The design language of the Hublot Big Bang collection is characterised by its bold, aggressive aesthetic, defined by a large, multi-layered case structure, bezel with signature exposed screws, and a fusion of materials, a brand hallmark. The collection's striking use of contrasting textures and finishes, along with oversized numerals and hands, creates a visually powerful and modern look. This innovative approach to combining materials and the watch's robust, sporty appearance has become a distinctive feature of the Big Bang collection.
Noteworthy Series
Big Bang collection encompasses a wide variety of watches, from minimalist and understated ones to those rich with complications and avant-garde aesthetics. The latter category includes the popular Big Bang UNICO, which marked the brand's first in-house movement, Meca-10, and the Complication series. While the Meca-10 introduced a 10-day power reserve with its distinct skeletonised design, the Big Bang Complications series houses an array of colourful and highly complex timepieces.
More sophisticated Big Bang watches come from the modest 3-Hand and Original series. They offer a streamlined, elegant take on the Big Bang's robust aesthetic, focusing on simplicity without compromising on the signature fusion of materials. Hublot never shy away from experimentation. Therefore, watches with a cool and contemporary digital face can be found under the Connected Series. These remarkable timepieces blend analogue and digital watchmaking in the signature Big Bang style.
