To mark the 75th Anniversary of Aspen Snowmass, Hublot, the Official Timekeeper of Aspen Snowmass, has launched a limited-edition commemorative timepiece.
The alpine-white skeletonized timepiece takes on the iconic Hublot Classic Fusion model. This limited edition of 25 pieces made of black ceramic with a white ceramic bezel features the Aspen tree leaf on the second hand and high shine brilliant titanium, a homage to the silver mining heritage of the Rockies and Aspen township. The limitation is stamped on the back of the timepiece along with the 75-year commemorative logo.
The Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Aspen Snowmass Limited Edition is available exclusively at Hublot boutiques America wide and available on HUBLOT’s eCommerce, priced at $18,800 USD.
Hublot pays tribute to the Matterhorn, one of the best-known mountains in the Alps, with a new Big Bang “All Black” collection.
The Matterhorn is the iconic emblem of Switzerland. The mountain’s faceted pyramidal form makes it instantly recognisable among the thousands of other Alpine peaks. It is one of the toughest climbs in the world, yet has become synonymous with Alpine family leisure pursuits.
Hublot has created two versions of the Big Bang All Black Zermatt. The men’s and women’s models are different yet complementary. They represent the two sides of a single identity, a single horological vision, like two faces of the same mountain.
The 44 mm men’s version is available in 100 individually numbered pieces. The micro-blasted black ceramic case houses the self-winding HUB4100 chronograph, which is visible through the sapphire case back. The Matterhorn’s identity is captured on the dial side: the small seconds hand at 9 o’clock sits atop a relief rendering in immaculate white. Its bold, striking contrast draws the eye to the centre of the anthracite grey sunray dial.
Faithful to the All Black aesthetic, the timepiece is dressed exclusively in black and grey tones: Anthracite applied indices, two broad hands imprinted with black luminescent material, black resin lugs and a black rubber strap with grey calf inserts and deployant buckle.
The 41 mm women’s version symbolises the opposite face, with the Matterhorn emblazoned at 3 o’clock. Available in just 50 individually numbered pieces, its bezel set with 36 black diamonds.
These also beautifully embody the All Black’s characteristic duality, harnessing the customary snow-white sparkle of the diamond and translating it into the deepest black for this ultra-contrasted version. The model features a self-winding chronograph calibre with a 42-hour power reserve and a date window at 4:30.

Hublot and Takashi Murakami unveil the second timepiece of their collaboration: the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow.
This limited edition Takashi Murakami series was introduced at the beginning of the year with an All Black watch. Latest addition to this series is the new Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow watch. This new piece, still based on the smiling flower, the iconic theme of Murakami’s work, has moved from black to colour with transparent effects.
It boasts a unique setting, a transparent background through which we can contemplate both the artist’s work and the intricate mechanics of the watchmakers in Nyon. Reusing the characteristic features of the Classic Fusion model, this 45mm-diameter case is cut from sapphire crystal, a technological feat pioneered by Hublot.
The smiling flower presents a mischievous smile on a three-dimensional face that literally emerges from the watch dial, extending out beyond the sapphire crystal. 12 colourful petals rotate around this face, and their polychromatic effect is achieved by setting 487 stones representing the colours of the rainbow: rubies, pink sapphires, amethysts, blue sapphires, tsavorites, yellow and orange sapphires.
Thanks to an ingenious ball-bearing system specially developed by Hublot’s engineers, the petals start turning under the watch crystal and bring Takashi Murakami’s smiling flower to life.
This timepiece houses the company’s HUB1214 calibre, without the stopwatch function. This self-winding mechanical movement has a power reserve of 72 hours.
The Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow watch is available in a limited edition of 100 numbered pieces.
Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot reaffirms its Mexican ties by announcing the opening of its first boutique in Cancun, where it is unveiling a Classic Fusion “Maya”.
The Hublot Classic Fusion “Maya” is an exclusive numbered piece released as a series of just 25 pieces. A vibrant tribute to Mayan culture, this watch depicts its traditional calendar cycles. This extremely sophisticated system demonstrates the advancement of a civilisation whose roots stretch back to prehistoric times and that made significant progress benefiting humanity as a whole in the fields of writing, art, architecture, agriculture, mathematics and astronomy.
The same is also true of the Haab calendar. By splitting the year into cycles, it helped support the development of mathematics and astronomy. The circle of glyphs in the middle of the dial comprises the 19 months of the Haab. The first 18 months each have 20 days and are followed by a short final period of just 5 days to give a total of 365 days.
In the centre, the carried load depicts the last of these 20 days, ajaw, meaning “lord” or “rule”. It is one of the main glyphs used in Classic Maya art. In this context, the “day” carried represents the beginning of the entire calendar year, making the load bearer actually a ‘year bearer’.
The new timepiece occupies the 45 mm ceramic case of the Classic Fusion, which is the flagship model in the Mexican market. Entirely satin-finished and featuring red gold screws, it houses the MHUB1112 automatic movement, with a 42-hour power reserve. Its dial is adorned with 5N gold motifs of the Haab calendar against a satin-finished matt black background.
The Classic Fusion “Maya” comes with an Alcantara and black rubber strap with a deployant buckle.

Swiss luxury watch Maison Hublot has released a special edition timepiece in collaboration with the prestigious cigar brand Arturo Fuente y Compañia.
Arturo Fuente cigars are consistently rated among the best cigars in the world. The Big Bang Unico Arturo Fuente Ceramic watch is a tribute to Carlos A. Fuente Sr., the patriarch of the Fuente family.
Carlos A. Fuente Sr. was born in 1935 in Ybor City, a Cuban émigré neighbourhood in Tampa, Florida. While still in primary school, Carlos Sr. began working in his father Arturo’s small cigar business. Even as very young children, part of the household duties was to first make 50 cigars a day before they could start their homework. Impassioned by his family and the craftsmanship of making cigars, Carlos Sr. worked alongside his father Arturo until his father’s retirement.
Taking over the reins of the family business in 1956, Carlos Sr. was ambitious and sought to expand the business, first in other parts of Florida before setting his sights on New York City. Carlos Sr. successfully enabled the company to flourish in the 1960s. Unfortunately, the United States embargo against Cuba forced the Fuentes to move their cigar production to Nicaragua. However, the family suffered further misfortune when, in 1978, their factory was burned down by Sandinista revolutionaries.
Once again, the Fuentes were forced into exile and moved their operations to Honduras. In 1980, the new factory also burned down. Despite this run of bad luck, Don Carlos did not give up the fight, and he opened a new factory in the Dominican Republic. Since then, Arturo Fuente cigars have become one of the most highly renowned and most sought-after brands in the world.
The Big Bang Unico Arturo Fuente Ceramic watch pays tribute to the remarkable saga of Carlos A. Fuente Sr. His vast knowledge of his field, along with his dedication and his vision for his brand, made him a shining light to those who knew him and a reference for the cigar industry. With the help of Manny Iriarte, the Fuente family’s designer, the teams at Hublot have infused the iconic Big Bang with all the codes which are so dear to the Dominican cigar company.
This starts with its 44-mm diameter case, whose black engraved ceramic picks up the pattern of the tobacco leaf, dancing to the rhythm of the mountain breeze, which is one of the key elements for the Fuente family. The watch is equipped with the UNICO calibre HUB1242 manufacture movement, a flyback chronograph offering a 72-hour power reserve.
The Roman numerals favoured by the Fuente add a remarkable note of authenticity to the timepiece. These numerals are taken from the clock which has historically appeared on the family crest. This is in reference to the Fuente motto: “We will never rush the hands of time.” Another emblem, that of a crowned lion, appears at 9 o’clock in recognition that the brand supplied cigars to the Spanish court and in honour of its great patriarch.
The back of the watch is engraved with “Big Bang Limited Edition” along with the number of the piece in the limited edition run of 100 pieces. Fuente’s historic logo appears in the centre, and its current initials “AF” (for Arturo Fuente) have here been replaced with “CF”, in reference to Carlos Fuente Sr., along with the words “Edición de homenaje” (which is Spanish for “edition in homage”). In quotation marks, the dedication by Carlito Fuente Jr. reads: “Our Father, Our Friend, Our Hero.”
Available in a limited edition of 100 pieces, the Big Bang Unico Arturo Fuente Ceramic comes in a spectacular lacquered wooden gift box which serves as a presentation case for the watch as well as a cigar humidor.

Hublot announces a 25-piece limited-edition watch symbolizing its continuing collaboration with the Oetker Collection’s iconic Caribbean hotel.
Hublot’s partnership with Eden Rock – St Barths, which is operated by the Oetker Collection, has produced special watches before, but this is the first time Hublot’s flagship Big Bang Unico 45mm has provided the template for the collaboration. The new 25-piece limited-edition has a calming 45mm cerulean blue ceramic case inspired by the colour of the sky, the ocean, and elements of the hotel’s recently reappointed interior.
The colour palette of the watch, in shades of light blue, white, red and teal accents is inspired by the white coral sand of St Jean Bay, the red rooftops of the hotel and the ever-changing shades of the idyllic blue sea.
The back of the sapphire crystal case is decorated with a specially created outline of the iconic Rock and the hotel, as seen from the shoreline, while the matching blue presentation box has a porthole containing a sample of the sand from the beach.
Beyond these special details, the watch is powered by Hublot’s hugely accomplished Unico automatic mechanical chronograph movement, and it comes with a choice of three straps, one in white rubber with blue stripes, a second in blue rubber, and thirdly a white velcro strap.
Representing the second collaboration between Eden Rock – St Barths & Hublot, this timepiece combines the style & spirit of the Hotel with a casual sophistication. Initially the Big Bang Unico Eden Rock St Barths will only be available at the hotel. In time, it will also be available through the Hublot boutique.

Created by Hublot in partnership with the Middle East based luxury watch retailer Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the Classic Fusion Chronograph Concrete Sand celebrates the UAE’s 50th anniversary.
Bringing historic materials (sand and camel leather) and an essential material of the city (concrete) to the watch is a way to highlight the county’s inspirational urban development and progressive vision, without ignoring its history and culture.
Designed and produced at the Hublot Manufacture in Switzerland, the Classic Fusion Concrete Sand is housed in a 45mm case with a matching bezel, both cutout of fine concrete, with minute detailing evoking UAE cities’ edges and structure.

Hublot presents Big Bang Camo Texas limited edition, a tribute to the Lone Star State and the loyal community that continues to support the brand’s two Texan boutiques. Since opening in 2013, the Houston and Dallas boutiques have grown brand affinity across the Southern State. Hublot has now announced a third Texan boutique in the state capital of Austin, opening Spring 2022.
Available exclusively in Hublot’s Dallas and Houston boutiques, the Big Bang Camo Texas features a palette inspired by the state’s colors, from the varied and rugged landscape to the iconic flag.
The blue hues capture both the vivid indigo of the Bluebonnet wildflower, and the texture of camouflage, a nod to the adventurous and outdoor spirit the vast state is renowned for. A red second hand cuts through the blue palette to make sure every moment is maximized in the state known for living large, and naturally, the piece is finished with a rhodium-plated Lone Star at 12-o’clock.
The Big Bang Camo Texas is released as a limited edition of 25 pieces. Its 44mm case is cut from matte blue ceramic and its sapphire dial features superimposed outlines which form a camouflage motif, with the Lone Star symbol at 12 o’clock.
The camouflage continues through the strap where each of the constituent shapes of the outline is cut out individually, assembled, and then fused together using the vulcanization process.
Powered by HUB4100, a Manufacture self-winding Chronograph movement, the watch has a 42-hour power reserve and date window at 4 1/2 o’clock. The caseback marks each unique piece with its special edition number out of 25 alongside the Hublot logo.
The Hublot Big Bang Camo Texas is available exclusively through the Hublot Dallas Boutique and Hublot Houston Boutique and is available for nation-wide white glove delivery on Hublot.com

The Hublot Big Bang Sang Bleu II watch is now available in a new limited edition especially designed for Mexico.

Marking their 5 years of collaboration, Hublot and Berluti present a new Big Bang Unico timepiece in a limited edition run of just 100 pieces.
Hublot’s partnership with the famous men’s fashion house Berluti dates back to 2016. This new understated, elegant, monochrome and timeless piece blends leather and titanium.
The emblematic patinated Venezia leather is at the heart of the polished titanium bezel as well as on the dial, where the indices and words “Swiss Made” are gauffered directly on the surface.
The leather is held between two pieces of sapphire glass, whose cut reveals the gears of the Unico movement, a feat of technical prowess. Working with Berluti, a technique was developed to encapsulate natural leather hues and crystallize them in time; in this way, their beauty is rendered in an authentic and unchanging manner.
As for the strap, it symbolizes the perfect fusion of the two worlds and it is available in two versions: one in burnished Aluminio Venezia leather; another in patinated Aluminio Venezia leather with the Scritto motif, exclusively for Japan.
Aluminio is one of Berluti’s signature patinas. It perfectly transcribes the light onto the different tones of the Venezia leather.
For this model, Hublot took responsibility for the new, two-part bezel design. With the help of a sticky, rigid resin, the first piece of the bezel—in leather, about 1 mm thick—is inserted onto the second piece, in grey titanium, and then screwed onto the case of the watch. This will allow the bezel to be patinated in time, just like the strap.
To bring the patinated Aluminio Venezia leather into harmony with its mechanical ensemble, Hublot chose titanium for the 44-mm case and its deployant clasp, resin for the central horn, tungsten for the oscillating weight, and satin-finished rhodium for the hands.
The Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminio is equipped with the MHUB1280 Unico movement, a manufacture self-winding Flyback chronograph with three full days of power reserve. This calibre can be admired thanks to the cut of the two pieces of sapphire glass that hold the leather on the dial-side. The sapphire crystal caseback also offers the view of this movement.
The Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminio will be delivered in a special case with a travel pouch, and a shoehorn key ring with the Berluti logo.

Made of black ceramic, this new Spirit of Big Bang timepiece features an eye catching black lacquer dial that incorporates artificially created gold crystals.
The natural crystallisation of gold dates back tens of millions of years, to the time when the mountain ranges were formed. It was in these crevices in the earth that jets of pressurised heated water extracted the gold, redepositing it within seams in the rocks.
As the rocks eroded, these seams were carried away by rain and water and deposited in the beds of rivers, creating nuggets of gold. On rare occasions, the right natural conditions would allow the gold to remain in its natural state: gold crystals, the rarest form of gold on earth.
Hublot has developed a unique technique allowing natural crystallisation to be reproduced almost exactly. By heating the purest 24-carat gold to its melting point of 1064.18 degrees Celsius, its atoms are vaporised into a gaseous mixture before interlocking as the temperature is lowered, forming an open angular structure.
Thousands of small crystals join together and create an architecture which is random, unique, and impossible to reproduce. The most perfect of these crystals are then carefully selected, with no more than 20% of the crystals produced making the grade.
The master dial-maker applies the gold crystals to a black dial covered with a fine layer of transparent lacquer, in a controlled atmosphere to ensure no air bubbles can form on the surface. It takes around twenty layers of lacquer to encapsulate the gold crystals, and the dial is then polished to render the lacquer invisible, and perfectly smooth and uniform.
The Spirit of Big Bang is Hublot’s tonneau-shaped watch, and it adopts all of the design codes of the iconic Big Bang: the six H-shaped screws on the bezel, the lugs either side of the case, the over-moulded rubber screw-down crown decorated with the iconic H, the sandwich type construction. To provide a perfect contrast with the gold of the crystals, the watch case is covered in black ceramic and paired with a black alligator strap stitched onto rubber.
Available in 39 and 42 mm, the Spirit of Big Bang Gold Crystal watch houses the Caliber HUB1710 automatic mechanical movement. It has a power reserve of 50 hours.

Hublot has joined hands with the French-Algerian music artist William Sami Étienne Grigahcine aka DJ Snake to release a special edition Big Bang timepiece.
The electronic music star first came to public attention with the track “Turn Down For What”, released in 2013. Since then, the hits have racked up: “Lean On”, “Loco Contigo”, “Let Me Love You” with Justin Bieber, and “Selfish Love” with Selena Gomez. He became the first French artist to have two songs with over a billion plays on Spotify, and the awards have rained down: Billboard Music Awards; MTV Music Awards; and no fewer than three NRJ Music Awards.
Hublot and DJ Snake have been partners since January 1st 2018, when he presided over the decks at Hublot’s closing evening during the FIFA World Cup in Russia. Three years later, the first watch of this partnership is being unveiled: The Big Bang DJ Snake.
The instantly recognizable and iconic design of the Big Bang now has an iridescent shine, with countless blue and purple hues. The bezel and the six titanium components of the 45-mm case are treated with a special and technical manufacturing process, similar to a black PVD treatment.
During the process, the different components of the watch must each be placed in specific positions when they are coated with different colors. The result is an optical effect in which the colors of the watch change depending on the light and when viewed from different angles.
The surface of the parts was also hardened before the iridescent treatment in order to improve its adherence. This operation is a complex one as it is difficult to obtain the same gradation of colour on each of the 100 watches being produced. The cut-outs on the outer edge of the bezel were designed by DJ Snake himself. These notches make the Big Bang DJ Snake immediately recognisable, distinguishing it from other collections.
On the upper face of the sapphire dial in the same colours as the case, a globe is featured, the signature of the electronic music star. The lower section is skeletonised and treated to create sections with a black fumé finish.
This semi-transparent finish allows a glimpse of the famous calibre HUB1242 UNICO movement, a flyback chronograph with a power reserve of 72 hours.
Limited to 100 pieces, the Big Bang DJ Snake will be supplied with two straps which are easily interchangeable thanks to Hublot’s patented One Click system. The first is made from rubber, with a grey, black and purple camouflage pattern echoing the myriad colours reflected by the watch case.
The second, also rubber, has a black ribbed structure. The clasp on these straps also features the same “Newton’s Rings” effect as the case and bezel.

Hublot has just unveiled its tenth model dedicated to the famous Cyclades Island. Based on the iconic Classic Fusion Chronograph, this 2021 version marries dark blue with the warmth of rose gold, recalling the sunset enjoyed daily by Mykonians. A bladed rotor on the dial symbolises the Kato Myli – the island’s iconic windmills.
This Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Boutique Mykonos watch is limited to 50 pieces.
Hublot opens a new boutique in Bodrum, a tourist spot on the southern Aegean coast of Turkey. Built using stone from the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the city faces the Aegean Sea, whose sparkling colours inspired a new 25-piece limited edition Hublot watch.

The dial and strap of the Classic Fusion Chronograph Boutique Bodrum are in blue, which is beautifully complemented by the white chronograph counters and strap stitching. Its 45mm titanium case houses a Hublot calibre HUB1143 movement, which can be admired through the transparent caseback.

Swiss luxury watch maker Hublot has welcomed Swiss sprinter Mujinga Kambundji as its brand ambassador.
Mujinga Kambundji is the fastest Swiss woman in history and the first to break the legendary 11-second barrier for the 100m. She also holds the national records for the 60m, 200m and 4 x 100m. Her bronze medal for the 200m in Doha in 2019 made her the first sprinter in the history of Swiss athletics (male or female) to step onto the podium of a World Championship. She was also selected as the Swiss Sportswoman of the Year in 2019.
With national titles, triple European bronze medals, international podiums and a ticket to the Olympics in the bag, Mujinga is on the starting blocks. Back on the track after a nine-month break due to an injury, she is returning stronger and more determined than ever, and is still improving her own records and times. On the eve of the Tokyo Olympic Games, she is joining the Hublot family. With her Hublot watch on her wrist, she firmly intends to set the track alight.
Berne is very dear to Mujinga’s heart, as the city where she was born and grew up. Moreover, it is where she does most of her training, at the Wankdorf as she continues to call it. Mujinga reached her first podium running bare foot with her older sister, Kaluanda, in Berne of course, aged seven years old. After this race, she received her first running shoes. Sprinting is a family affair for the Kambundji. She and her three sisters have rhythm and timing in their blood.
Determined and humble, at ease in her track spikes, she knows exactly what she wants and where she’s going. Her progression bears witness to this, as the 29-year old native of Berne has continually improved her own records every season. There is no doubt that this Olympic year will be no exception.
She has a contagious smile and a golden heart. Since 2015, Mujinga has also been an Ambassador for the Swiss Red Cross. Today, the athlete who runs the fastest for the Swiss flag is joining Hublot; it has to be said that the watchmaker likes to bring together those who challenge time and set records.
The athlete nicknamed the “Queen of Swiss Sprint” is preparing to fly off to Tokyo, following a fast start to the season, having just won the 100m gold at the Swiss Athletics Championships in Langenthal and taken 3rd place in the 200m at the Diamond League meeting in Florence. These successes will serve as benchmarks and preparation for her third Olympic Games after London in 2012 and Rio in 2016.
On her wrist, Mujinga Kambundji has chosen the minimalist Classic Fusion Titanium 33mm, a model with three hands—hours, minutes, seconds—and a date with optimal readability so as to keep only the very essence of time. She chose it in titanium, a light and resistant metal, an ideal ally for her performances. A black dial and black rubber strap for a watch that like her, is simultaneously simple and elegant, and naturally strong.
Especially for this vibrant summer season, Hublot presents a limited edition Big Bang Unico watch adorned with a dazzling turquoise colour theme inspired by the deepest lagoons.
The 42-mm case of the Big Bang Unico Summer watch is made of anodized satin-finished and polished aluminum, a modern, lightweight colored material.
The Big Bang Unico Summer features a unique turquoise blue, which shimmers as its satin and polished finishes catch the light. Anodisation was used to colour the case and its components this very special pastel shade. This process guarantees remarkable longevity and protects the case from scratches and impacts.
At its heart beats the UNICO manufacture calibre (HUB1280), featuring a 72-hour power reserve, and an oscillating seconds clutch, a chronograph friction system with ball-bearing adjustment, and a column wheel that can be seen through its dial.
The hands shimmer in luminescent white and turquoise as they move around the dial to the rhythm of the hours and minutes. The movement is just 6.75 mm thick, allowing for a thinner case measuring just 14.5 mm.
Equipped with the patented interchangeable “One Click” attachment system, the Big Bang Unico Summer comes with two straps in this same radiant colour: one Velcro strap with matching stitching and one natural rubber strap.
The sports buckle (for the Velcro strap), and the decorative plate on the deployant clasp (for the rubber strap), are also made from turquoise anodised aluminium with the HUBLOT logo engraved and lacquered in brilliant white.
Just 200 of these unisex pieces are being released, initially available on the e-commerce site and in the Mediterranean boutiques in Capri, Forte dei Marmi, Mykonos, Ibiza, Bodrum, Saint-Tropez and Monaco.

Since 2005, Hublot has been committed alongside ONLY WATCH to help research to overcome Duchenne muscular dystrophy one day and protect future generations. This year, the brand is donating a unique Big Bang Tourbillon Only Watch to support the charity auction.
Its translucent case cut from sapphire and its orange bezel display the expertise of Hublot and the colour code for ONLY WATCH 2021.
The dial, which is also made from sapphire reveals the mechanics of the new self-winding manufacture tourbillon movement (calibre MHUB6035) launched in January. Still in the same tones: A raised section, Superluminova on the hour and minute hands, and the numerals are also orange coloured.
To create its bezel in orange sapphire, Hublot once again added a world first to its list of records: dyed sapphire, in a powerful orange, which is vibrant and positive, resulting from the fusion of titanium and chrome. To make the most of this unique piece with its total transparency, Hublot has decided to reveal everything and hide nothing, right down to the chassis itself, which is entirely cut in sapphire.
Whereas standard tourbillon movements are manual winding, the MHUB6035 calibre, which was entirely developed and designed by the Hublot Manufacture, is self-winding. Its sunray-brushed and sandblasted angled micro-rotor in 22-ct white gold is visible on the dial side, creating a spectacular and sophisticated impression.
Playing with the ultimate transparency of the case and the strap, right down to the movement, Hublot has also included sapphire in the calibre itself by equipping it for the first time with three sapphire bridges—the barrel bridge, automatic watch bridge and tourbillon bar.
The watch is engraved with “Pièce Unique” and the Only Watch logo on the sapphire back cover and comes with two interchangeable One Click structured lined rubber straps, one of which is transparent and the other is orange.

Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot has renewed its partnership with the Bol d’Or Mirabaud as official timekeeper for the eighth consecutive season. To celebrate this year’s event, the manufacture has created the Classic Fusion Chronograph Bol d’Or Mirabaud watch.
The Bol d’Or Mirabaud is the world’s biggest inland lake regatta, running between the two ends of Lake Geneva, from Geneva to Le Bouveret. Around 500 boats will be on the start line for the 123 kilometre route with its changing winds and sometimes troubled waters.
The gleaming hulls of the yachts cutting through the blue water of Lake Geneva have inspired the new Classic Fusion Chronograph Bol d’Or Mirabaud. A tricolour watch that is made exquisite by the combination of gloss grey steel, matt black and deep navy blue.
Both sporty and elegant, with its 45-mm black satin-effect ceramic case and its topstitched technical fabric strap, the Classic Fusion Chronograph Bol d’Or Mirabaud is well-suited to nautical life or to wear around town.

The new Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic timepiece proudly reflects the innovations and expertise of the Hublot Manufacture in creating bright colour ceramics. A perfect match with Pantone’s trending Illuminating Colours of the Year 2021, this new creation boasts polished Yellow Ceramic case and bezel.
Hublot ceramic is available in all colours – red, blue, beige, green and now yellow. Yellow Magic is the name of the new brightly coloured high-tech ceramic created by Hublot which has been predestined since the arrival of its red ceramic in 2018.
A unique process, a patented material, entirely developed and produced by the Manufacture’s R&D department and its Metallurgy & Materials laboratory. Four years of development to find the perfect balance of temperature and pressure enabling the ceramic to be sintered without burning the pigments. Hublot has met the challenge of retaining the properties and the colorimetry of the pigments while increasing the wear resistance of this ceramic which is harder than traditional ceramics (1350 HV versus 1200 HV).
Available in a limited edition of 250 pieces, this new 42-mm Big Bang Unico watch shines in the light of this yellow ceramic. In an ultra invigorating colour palette, the flange, indexes, minute and seconds counters, Arabic numerals and hands are all in this sunny yellow, to highlight the mechanism of the Unico HUB1280 manufacture movement and its column wheel, visible on the dial side through the sapphire crystal.
The Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic is fitted on a lined and structured yellow rubber strap.

Every year, for the last 14 years, Hublot has created a piece or a collection of exceptional High Jewellery. This year, the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery is the brand’s 30th unique piece of High Jewellery.
The Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery brings together in one piece everything that defines the identity and distinction of Hublot: its automatic tourbillon calibre, which was fully designed and manufactured in-house; its spectacular architecture set with 484 baguette-cut diamonds, totalling 31 carats; its fully integrated aesthetics from the case to the strap; and its 100% visible mechanics on the dial side thanks to the sapphire.
Launched in 2020, the Big Bang Integral, with its bracelet integrated into the case, made its one-piece architecture an instantly adopted style. The model presents a visual balance, and proportions that are accentuated by the invisible setting work for its 484 baguette-cut diamonds. Its distinctive three-mesh bracelet with sharp edges alone accounts for 20.5 carats of diamonds (304 baguette-cut diamonds).
The aesthetic and technical mastery of the piece goes all the way to its sapphire dial whose raised platform of baguette diamonds reveals a skeleton movement. In addition to its components that appear to be levitating, the 6H tourbillon features some atypical audacity: automatic rewinding, a micro-rotor that is visible on the dial-side and three transparent sapphire bridges, combined in a movement that was completely designed and manufactured in-house: the HUB6035.
The Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery is a fusion of the Manufacture’s innovation and know-how with High Jewellery in a single 43-mm-diameter piece, all in perfect balance.
The Million Dollar Club
Since its One Million $ model in 2007, Hublot has created a unique piece of High Jewellery watch every year at a price equalling or exceeding one million dollars. Each time, the watchmaker combines the iconic design of one of its collections, one or more complications, with the most spectacular setting techniques, often scoring world firsts with its own records and overcoming, as usual, technical challenges that have never before been attempted. Among them, the 5 Million $ watch introduced in 2012 with 14 months of work and 1,282 diamonds including more than 100 carats of baguette-cut diamonds.
In 2015 to celebrate the 10 years of the Big Bang, a collection of 10 Big Bang Unico models, each worth $1 million. While these exceptional pieces have mostly invisibly set baguette-cut white diamonds, the watchmaker has also ventured into pieces with black diamonds and coloured stones, creating a fusion of all kinds of stone cuts and settings.

Celebrating its successful partnership with London-based tattoo studio Sang Bleu, Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot presents three new Big Bang limited edition watches which explore new territories of colour.
The new Big Bang Sang Bleu II Ceramic watch will now be available in blue, grey and white. Adding to their technical achievement of having successfully created perfectly and evenly coloured ceramic, Hublot unveils a watch architecture that continues to defy tradition.
With its sharp angles, its sculptural case, its multiple facets as if cut in diamond, the Big Bang Sang Bleu II designed by Maxime Plescia Buchi and Hublot has the ability to amaze and astound. Combining the creativity of the tattoo artist with the technical expertise of the Nyon-based manufacture, the piece displays a radical, complex design, which demands a closer look in order to fully appreciate its multidimensional appearance. The case, bezel, case middle, strap and dial have been constructed with their own geometry and, at the same time, they come together with a seamless fluidity.
With these new grey, blue and white versions, the Big Bang Sang Bleu II displays a new temperament. In the grey ceramic version, the piece offers a modern look reminiscent of the great urban structures at the heart of 21st-century megapolises. The shades of grey that illumine the ceramic evoke steel, titanium and aluminium in turn, strongly accentuating the profoundly architectural design of the Big Bang Sang Bleu II.
The blue ceramic version is a clear nod to the name of the piece – a royal blue, an echo of the term “blue blood” (sang bleu) which is used in historical literature to describe the nobility of a lineage. Between day and night, light and shade, the piece offers the perfect blend of tones, a real technical feat for a material as difficult to master as ceramic, which is always susceptible to tiny variations when it is fired at very high temperatures.
Here, as in the grey version, Hublot and Maxime Plescia-Buchi developed an approach where the dominant colour of the piece echoes the white and luminescent indices and hands. The geometric structure of the hands appears in all its complexity, hypnotic as it is, in constant movement, and forming, for a few fleeting moments at midday, a complete work in perfect alignment and symmetry.
The third version appears simple yet enigmatic. A mirror image of the All Black version which was released last year, this “All White” version features a dazzling play of light in place of the original shade. The faceted architecture of the bezel, case and strap invites closer inspection to appreciate the subtle angles and curves of the piece – the watch is a powerful creation, a ray of light to be worn on the skin, like the tattoos that Maxime Plescia-Buchi uses in his graphic art.
Each of these new Big Bang Sang Bleu II watches will be available as a limited edition of 200 pieces. They all share a 45-mm case made entirely from high-tech ceramic, housing the UNICO Manufacture self-winding chronograph. Entirely developed in-house by Hublot’s engineers and watchmakers, comprising 330 components and equipped with a flyback function, this model offers a 3-day power reserve.
Each piece is equipped with its corresponding rubber strap, featuring the One Click system which enables it to be changed instantly with no need for any tools.

With the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire, Hublot has taken its Art of Fusion to its ultimate conclusion. A new integral bracelet and case custom-made from sapphire: this feat affirms yet again the technical proficiency and the exceptional expertise that Hublot has acquired in the working of sapphire.
The Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire is the fruit of a long tradition. It is rooted in 2016, and the Big Bang Unico Sapphire, the first sapphire watch. With this piece, Hublot translated the expertise it had developed in machining very hard materials to create an exceptional series of sapphire watches. Today, Hublot is pushing these boundaries even further: the first Big Bang with an integrated case and bracelet, both of which are made from sapphire.
The case of this new Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire has been reconstructed in its entirety to house the Automatic Tourbillon movement. The goal: to remove almost all of the visible screws, overhaul the general geometry of the case to integrate it with the sapphire bracelet, develop a new case profile to house the sapphire bracelet, and rework the bridges and main plates to give them the illusion of being suspended in space.
Hublot also developed inserts and attachments which were reduced to their simplest expression, to allow light through every component. The case is thus composed of no fewer than 37 components, five of which are made solely from sapphire.
Extremely complex, the bracelet alone comprises 165 components, 22 of which are made from sapphire. Each component had its own industrial process. A third of these were specially designed to provide unique harmony with the transparency of the case, and to offer fluidity and flexibility. Of particular note are the titanium inserts Hublot developed, ultra-reduced to ensure they do not protrude either side of each bracelet link – a first for the manufacture, and probably for watchmaking.
In terms of the movement, the HUB6035 automatic manufacture calibre, entirely designed and manufactured in-house, is the beating heart of the piece. It demonstrates a perfect balance between the micro-rotor at 12 o’clock and the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, and also with its three transparent sapphire bridges, exclusive to this new Big Bang.

Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot and Alexander Ovechkin have teamed up to create the Hublot Big Bang Unico Red Carbon Alex Ovechkin, a limited edition watch made in honour of ‘The Great Eight’, as the Russian ice hockey superstar is affectionately known.
The new watch has a lightweight carbon fibre case fused with bright red inserts and comes on a red velcro strap. The red accents consist of micro-glass fibres in the form of “Non Woven Fabric” (NWF), which is used to strengthen the composite material from which the case is made. During the preparation of the composite, NWF and carbon fibre are fused with a resin-tinted adhesive.
This high-tech, high-performance material combination was chosen to reflect both Alexander’s hockey equipment and his own extraordinary resilience and longevity. Now 35, “Ovi”, as he is called by his fans, was drafted in 2004.
Ovi is one of the greatest ice hockey players of all time. On February 22, 2020, in a game against the New Jersey Devils in Newark, NJ, the captain of the Washington Capitals ice hockey team, Alexander Ovechkin, scored his 700th career goal. That’s a landmark only seven other players have reached in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL), and one that puts him well ahead of any other athlete playing in the league today. No other athlete currently playing in the NHL comes anywhere near his scoring record.

This incredible moment reaffirmed Alexander’s status as one of the all-time greats of the game and a global sporting icon. Also known as ‘The Great Eight’ because of his jersey number, the 35-year-old Russian is one of the most decorated players in NHL history. In 2018 he led the Capitals to their first ever Stanley Cup win.
The Hublot Big Bang Unico Red Carbon Alex Ovechkin has some further personalized touches. To celebrate his jersey number, a ‘Great Eight’ logo sits at 8 o’clock on the dial. Additionally, Ovi’s signature appears on the sapphire crystal case back.
Finally, another special detail is the tip of the chronograph hand, which is finished in red, white and blue: A nod to the Russian flag, as well as the colors of the Washington Capitals.
The timepiece is powered by Hublot’s in-house UNICO chronograph mechanism and its column wheel on the dial side. It is limited to just 100 pieces.
Thanks to the “One-Click” fastening system, allowing the strap to be changed safely and quickly, the watch will include a second strap in black rubber. And the icing on the cake: there will also be a limited edition custom hockey puck signed by Ovi as a memento for fans to treasure.

The Swiss watch manufacturer Hublot, Official Timekeeper of the Premier League, announces a limited-edition version of the Big Bang e connected watch.
The 200 -piece piece limited edition watch has a lightweight case in satin-finished and polished titanium. It’s based on the Hublot Big Bang e connected watch launched last year, with a number of additional features tailored to the Premier League fan experience.
The strap, which is available in the League’s signature purple, can be quickly changed by the owner thanks to Hublot’s ingenious One One Click strap-change system. Every strap comes with a microblasted black ceramic buckle. The watch is powered by Wear OS by GoogleTM and comes with the exclusive Hublot Loves Football Premier League app, which will later also be available to existing Hublot Big Bang Connected e owners via hublot.com or the Google Play app store.
This smartwatch provides users with animated notifications to alert them to Premier League match kick-off off times (15 minutes before the game starts), goals, penalties, substitutions, yellow and red cards, cards, and time added on. The dial can be set to display the time using digital or analogue displays and, when a match starts, the watch automatically switches to “Match Mode”.
The app will also show team line-ups and VAR decisions. When it signals a match is over, it will begin a countdown to the next fixture. If there are two games taking place at the same time, users will be able to switch between them with a simple screen tap.
Hublot will be equipping Premier League referees with a special version of the watch, which will not be made commercially available. Cast in a super-lightweight composite, it will be even lighter than the ceramic version. It will also have additional functions, including goal -line technology that signals to the referee when the whole of the ball has crossed the line.

In the seven years since its launch in 2014, the singular and distinctive Spirit of Big Bang has been cultivating its differences whilst incorporating the signature Hublot codes – 6 H-shaped titanium screws, a “sandwich” case construction, and a demonstration of the Art of Fusion.
With the Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-day Power Reserve Carbon White, Hublot combines black with white, proving opposites attract. The 42-mm case, case back and bezel are crafted from carbon fibre featuring white composite inclusions.
