Bright, Bold and Beautiful
It looks like Hublot is not going to run out of steam anytime soon, with their creative use of colours to make their statements in their timepieces, and they have proven so over the decade. This year is no different, as we can see some of the most attractive jewel colours being deployed to enhance what is already deemed beautiful collections with the likes of Unico, Big Bang and even their eUEFA EURO 2024 edition.
Big Bang Unico Sapphire Pink
A shade of colour you have never seen before in sapphire, a pastel lilac pink that is so light and so vivid, it looks like it is carved out of a block candy. The 42mm case is made entirely out of transparent pink sapphire. It is then armed with a skeletonised automatic Calibre MHUB 1280 UNICO column wheel layout Chronograph with a flyback function, matching applique indexes, and hands. It has a 72-hour power reserve. A no-nonsense engine with a playful jewel-like sporty charm.
Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu Sapphire
Over the last 8 years, we have seen what happened to the Hublot once they let Maxime Plescia-Buchi get his hands on their watches. He did the impossible, he turned every watch he created for Hublot into a symmetrical shape made up of an organised chaos of geometric shapes. This year, he gave the Sang Bleu a new twist and did something marvellous with the Spirit of Big Bang. The 42mm case is made of colourless sapphire with a facetted tonneau body carved out of blocks of sapphire with 3D technology to look like a boulder of cut diamonds. To make it even more ethereal, the matte polished skeletonised automatic Calibre HUB4700 blends softly with the clear transparent body with the Sang Bleu signature disc hands. They come together like an alluring piece of time-telling gem.
Big Bang e UEFA EURO 2024
Football has a special place in the heart of Hublot and has been as far back as 2012 when they unveiled their first watch for the UEFA EURO game of that year. In its 12th year, Hublot kick-starts the game with the Big Bang e UEFA EURO 2024 with a rather unexpected and surprising choice of colour but no less a pleasant one, the sky blue for the dial and the rubber strap. The body of Big Bang, of course, but in 42mm Titanium and equipped with all the accoutrement one needs to keep the timing and the score of the football game, and of course, it tells the time in digital numerals with day-date and month.
