  • Catalogue Essay

    In 2007, Hublot made a limited edition of 300 pieces specially for the high ranked managers of the ASF : "Association Suisse de Football" (Swiss Football Association). The Big Bang “ASF” is the fusion between ceramic, stainless steel, and Kevlar. The dial has been customized to proudly display the red ASF logo as the third subdial. The caseback is also fitted with the large red logo and the side of the case is further adorned by the Swiss cross beautifully contrasting against the polished stainless steel and black ceramic.

    The Hublot Maradona is a limited edition of 250 pieces made in tribute in one of football’s greatest players: Diego Armando Maradona. The case is black sandblasted ceramic, the dial is a tribute to Maradona’s country of origin: Argentina, the indexes take the blue and white colors of the Argentinian flag. The continuous seconds counter is adorned with the number 10, the player’s designated number on the field. Furthermore, his signature is printed on the lower part of the dial. The caseback is fitted with a drawing of Maradona lifting his arms in the air after what was certainly a victorious goal.

    Masculine, bold and technical, this brand’s icon will appeal to both football fans and lovers of audacious designs.

  • Artist Biography

    Hublot

    Swiss • 1980

    Hublot was founded by Carlo Crocco in 1980 and named after the French word for "porthole," which resembles their iconic bezel design. Hublot's first watch followed three years of research and was the first wristwatch to be fitted with a natural rubber strap. The brand's most recognizable watch today is the 'Big Bang', which was first launched in 2005 upon the arrival of CEO and shareholder Jean-Claude Biver. Other noteworthy models are the 'Classic Fusion' and 'King Power'.
