New Watch! • 14 Apr 2022
Hublot Novelties from Watches and Wonders 2022
New colours and new bracelets dominate the latest offerings from Hublot.
Big Bang Integrated Ceramic
Monochrome and monomaterial: the Big Bang Ceramic chronograph is in its integral fusion element. Hublot pushes the boundaries of ceramic properties, by increasing its hardness and scratch resistance, enhancing the intensity of its colour, all the while retaining its lightness. With low thermal conductivity and hypoallergenic qualities, the Big Bang Integrated Ceramic chronograph ensures the greatest comfort of wear.
Taking inspiration from the elements of water, earth, and wood, the latest additions are available in four new colours: indigo blue, sky blue, sand beige, and jungle green. Powering the watches is the UNICO 2 manufacture movement, equipped with the HUB1280 calibre with a slimmer design, new architecture, enhanced legibility and functionality. Each colour is limited to 250 pieces.
Classic Fusion Orlinski Bracelet
Hublot has worked with the French artist Richard Orlinski since 2017. Five years on, the collaboration takes to a new level of integration. The newest additions to the Classic Fusion Orlinski range feature a fresh new bracelet.
Connoisseurs will appreciate the look and feel of the new integrated bracelet. Embracing the faceted design language that is distinctive of Orlinski, the new bracelet is integrated mechanically and aesthetically to the watch case, comfortably adaptable to all occasions. The 40mm case comes in full titanium bezel and bracelet, or titanium and diamond set bezel with alternate diamond pavé bracelet, with a ceramic black or white dial.
Big Bang Automatic Tourbillon in Purple Sapphire
Hublot continues to build its collection of coloured sapphire cases. The Nyon watchmaker unveils a world-first, exclusive translucent purple synthetic sapphire. This newest hue is a composite made of aluminium oxide and chrome, achieved by building on the extensive experience in working with sapphire in the watchmaking industry. The subtle alchemy results in this powerful, expressive, and precise shade, which is translucent and perfectly homogeneous.
Inside the clear purple sapphire case is the fine skeletonised HUB6035 manufacture automatic tourbillon movement. The sapphire bridges of the movement give the illusion of a floating gears and wheels, sustaining the translucent aesthetic language. The signed micro-rotor at 12 o’clock and tourbillon at 6 o’clock gives visual balance to the movement. Limited to 50 pieces.
