  • Catalogue Essay

    Initially introduced in 2005, the Hublot Big Bang was one of the most prolific timepieces launched in the 2000s winning the “Best Design” award at the GPHG 2005 as well as numerous other awards. With a distinct appeal due to its iconic case taking its inspiration from a ship’s porthole, Hublot was also the first wristwatch to be fitted with a rubber strap. With a focus on fusing innovative materials with traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship, Hublot has offered collectors a wide array of models over the years.

    In 2009, Hublot launched a limited edition series of the Big Bang 44mm All Black II featuring an all-black appearance achieved by utilizing a black ceramic and titanium case with a blacked out dial. Exuding a cool and unique appeal, the model was limited to 500 pieces. The present example numbered 81 is presented with its full set of accessories. The perfect timepiece to go along with any black outfit.

  • 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'.
