Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu Sapphire
With the new Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu Sapphire, Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot is celebrating 8 years of collaboration with Maxime Plescia-Buchi.
This celebrated collaboration began in 2016 with the Hublot Big Bang Sang Bleu; the second edition launched in 2019 with the Big Bang Sang Bleu II; and finally the Spirit of Big Bang Bleu in 2023.
Proposed in a limited edition of 100 pieces, the new Sang Bleu Sapphire edition has kept the Spirit of Big Bang, maintaining the 42 mm diameter and barrel shape, while offering a different aesthetic finish.
There’s no change on the movement side, with the HUB4700, a skeletonised automatic chronograph with date at 4.30, 50-hour power reserve and its oscillating weight redesigned in the Sang Bleu style.
The inspired design remains the same, a watch incised, chiselled, angled and faceted by Sang Bleu, revealing and overlaying hexagons, rhombuses and triangles redrawing forms and volumes, feature by feature. The playful relief and depth in Maxime’s features takes on a new dimension, as the sapphire reveals an entirely new personality.
The sapphire now extends from the dial to the case and the bezel, enhancing the watch’s organic design. The watch houses a self-winding skeleton chronograph movement and it can be admired from all the sides of the sapphire case.
The only remaining non-transparent elements are the crown, the push buttons, the screws on the case, the 6 H-shaped screws on the bezel, and the folding clasp, all cut out of titanium, and the components of the movement.
