A Hublot ambassador since 2020, creative director Samuel Ross brings his unique graphic language to watchmaking for the first time with the limited-edition Big Bang Tourbillon Samuel Ross.

A 40-year focus on the “Art of Fusion” has resulted in a meteoric rise for Hublot, seeing it catapulted to the pinnacle of innovative watchmaking. With the brand’s ability to combine seemingly diametrically opposed materials, plus an enduring drive to push the boundaries of what is technically and aesthetically possible, it has rewritten the rules of horology, leaving a new design language in its wake.

Fostering a desire to work with the most talented practitioners in alternate fields, the brand introduced its “Hublot Loves Art” initiative more than a decade ago. Hublot has since collaborated with some of the most talented artists and designers of a generation. Ground-breaking in outlook and highly collectable, the resulting watches offer new interpretations of time and timekeeping. The most recent creator to take up the mantle is Samuel Ross.

Mirroring Hublot’s trajectory, renaissance man Ross has experienced an equally breakneck rise to prominence. Describing himself as a creative director, the 30-year-old multi-disciplinary artist, filmmaker, and fashion designer graduated from Leicester De Montfort University in 2012 with a first-class honours’ degree in graphic design and illustration. Since then, he has collaborated with many brands and creative outlets – from Oakley and Nike to Dr. Martens and Mackintosh – launching his men’s Luxury Sportswear label A-Cold-Wall* in late 2015, and his design studio SR_A in 2019.

In 2019, Ross was awarded the prestigious Hublot Design Prize, and a year later he was announced as an official brand ambassador, an occasion marked by the unveiling of REFORM, a sculpture designed to encapsulate 40 years of Hublot. Combining an ancient, organic material (granite) with a modern, manmade one (steel), Ross created his own ‘Fusion’, uniting past and present in a production process that involved both traditional hand-finishing and cutting-edge machining.

The deceptively simple, industrial form of the 40cm high artwork has now been reinterpreted in the 44mm Big Bang Tourbillon Samuel Ross – Ross’s first wristwatch collaboration with Hublot. Ross’s signature use of colour and love of stark geometry and urban design, come together with the innovation and precision that prevail in the work of both Ross and Hublot.

The distinctive, stylised hexagon of the Big Bang case is reflected in the titanium honeycomb mesh used on the sapphire dial, case, case back and strap.

A basic building block of nature (seen in environments from beehives and snake’s scales to pineapple skin and snowflakes) the robust and efficient shape, that can be repeated without gaps or overlapping, has been appropriated as a standard for modern-day construction and design thanks to the seamless fit of each unit.

Here the hexagon is a visual symbol of the functionality of the watch – a key strand running through all of Ross’s design. Although it may be a wearable sculpture, Ross never loses sight of the need for it to be durable and ergonomic, the lightweight, openworked titanium structure and malleable rubber strap ensuring its comfort on the wrist.

A proponent of colour theory, Ross has chosen orange – representing energy and optimism – for the strap and accents on the crown and tourbillon bridge and lateral bumpers that protect the case, a glowing contrast to the sober grey of the satin-finished case and bezel.

The 282-component, manufacture HUB6035 calibre within beats at 3 Hz and gives 72 hours of power reserve. Just 50 pieces will be produced, each one a piece of art that brings a new perspective and a new visual language to watchmaking.

To celebrate the launch, Ross’s signature colours will envelop Hublot’s 5th Ave boutique in New York City. The takeover will be repeated in Hublot stores across the globe, bringing the Samuel Ross universe to the world of horology.

" The youngest artist we have ever worked, Samuel Ross’s 360-degree approach is unique and intelligent, incorporating the watch, packaging, communication, and visual identity. What is so special about this collaboration is the direct interaction between design and object, ideas, and form. Samuel has pushed our team to work with new and innovative materials and shapes. It’s a really dynamic and fulfilling partnership.”   RICARDO GUADALUPE HUBLOT CEO

" Hublot personifies velocity, precision, and exploration. Pairing the unparalleled craft and expertise of Swiss watchmaking alongside a spirit of sharp, innovative thinking and design solutions, crystallised the cadence between Ricardo & I.  Our goal is to create a universe that leverages the strengths of contemporary engineering, spatial design and digital. This is reflected in the focus on fine details, with striking, bold & unapologetic results.  We see the future of luxury as a lateral experience, offering a multigenerational access point that enables luxury to engage global audiences."  SAMUEL ROSS CREATIVE DIRECTOR

HUBLOT – Spirit of BIG BANG Carbon Gold TIGER Edition

 

HUBLOT – SPIRIT of BIG BANG Carbon Gold TIGER Skeleton Chronograph Edition 2022

HUBLOT ROARS IN THE YEAR OF THE TIGER WITH THE UNIQUE SPIRIT OF BIG BANG CARBON GOLD TIGER

As the lunar year begins, Hublot introduces a 200-piece version of its barrel-shaped icon in Frosted Carbon and gold, a first for the Swiss fine watchmaker

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

NYON, 1 February 2022 – Today is the first day of the new lunar calendar and the beginning of the Year of the Tiger. Hublot marks the date with the Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Gold Tiger, a special watch that will be remembered for its technical and aesthetic originality long after the Year of the Tiger draws to a close.

The watch, which is based on the barrel-shaped 42mm Spirit of Big Bang, is a striking execution of Hublot’s famous fusion principles. This is the first Spirit of Big Bang with a case made of Frosted Carbon and 18-carat yellow-gold, a black and gold fusion of materials Hublot has used in its collection only once before.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This unique, complex, beautiful material, developed by Hublot, fuses carbon fibre with gold to create a unique finish defined by its glimmering gold inclusions. The watch is limited to 200 pieces and no two will be exactly the same. The patterns created by the process are random, just like a tiger’s majestic stripes.

Hublot loves the Year of the Tiger! People born in the Year of the Tiger are born leaders, courageous and energetic, and never afraid to take risks. This is Hublot! We live by the mantra ‘first, unique, different’, which is why the challenger spirit of the tiger is so inspiring to us. With its Frosted Carbon and 18-carat yellow-gold case, the Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Gold Tiger is also a technical first for us, a daring expression of an iconic form designed for today’s boldest leaders. Each watch is as unique as its owner. Go get ‘em tiger!”
Ricardo Guadalupe - Hublot CEO

The watch is powered by the Hublot self-winding skeleton chronograph, reference HUB4700, a descendant of the historic high-frequency Swiss Made El Primero calibre, introduced in 1969. This contemporary, highly precise automatic movement features a number of technical innovations, including a low-friction silicon regulating organ. The watch has a 50-hour power reserve and is water-resistant to 10 ATM (100 metres).

The Year of the Tiger story continues into the watch’s straps. It comes on a black rubber strap, elegantly shaped to mimic a tiger’s stripes. It’s fastened by a black ceramic and black-plated titanium deployant buckle clasp. Thanks to Hublot’s patented One-Click System, this can be changed to the supplied yellow-gold-coloured, velcro-fastened fabric strap quickly and easily by its owner.

In keeping with Hublot’s philosophy, the Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Gold Tiger is first, unique and different. The 200 pieces are available worldwide from today.


====================
HUBLOT

Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovation, which began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This "Art of Fusion" stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012.

The release of the iconic, multi-award-winning Big Bang in 2005 paved the way for new flagship collections (Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang), with complications ranging from the simple to the highly sophisticated, establishing the extraordinary DNA of the Swiss watchmaking house and ensuring its impressive growth.

Keen to preserve its traditional and cutting-edge expertise, and guided by its philosophy to "Be First, Different and Unique", the Swiss watchmaker is consistently ahead of the curve, through its innovations in materials (scratch-resistant Magic Gold, ceramics in vibrant colours, sapphire), and the creation of Manufacture movements (Unico, Meca-10, Tourbillon).

HUBLOT is fully committed to creating a Haute Horlogerie brand with a visionary future: a future which is fused with the key events of our times (FIFA World CupTM, UEFA Champions League, UEFA EUROTM) and the finest ambassadors our era has to offer (Chiara Ferragni, Pelé, Kylian Mbappé, Usain Bolt, Novak Djokovic).

HUBLOT – BIG BANG Camo TEXAS Special Edition

 

HUBLOT – BIG BANG Original Camo TEXAS 44 Blue Ceramic Chronograph Special Edition 2021

 HUBLOT KEEPS GOOD COMPANY IN
THE LONE STAR STATE

Introducing the Big Bang Camo Texas

This fall, following almost a decade of heightened demand, Hublot is excited to reveal the 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 and Hublot is delighted to announce a third Texan boutique in the state capital of Austin, opening Spring 2022.

Everything is bigger in Texas, which makes it the perfect stage for Hublot’s iconic Big Bang timepiece. 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.

“Hublot has always been at home in Texas thanks to our incredible clients and friends.  Part of our original North American footprint, we have embraced the State’s bold, adventurous and independent spirit, the same values we are proud to reflect back in this unique timepiece.  One of only 25, It is a special piece, for a special place and special people and we think there is no better time than the present to pause a pay tribute to the places we call home - or soon to be home - in the case of our exciting Austin development.”
Ricardo Guadalupe HUBLOT CEO

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.

In the state synonymous with Southern hospitality, Hublot invited local celebrity friend Micah Parsons (of Dallas) to help celebrate the launch of the piece, paying tribute to state he now calls home in a series of photographs taken over the course of a day in Dallas.

HUBLOT – Big Bang DJ Snake Edition

 

HUBLOT – BIG BANG Partnerships 45mm DJ Snake Blue and Purple Titanium Chronograph Edition 2021

 BIG BANG DJ Snake:

The most streamed French artist in the world, with a slew of international hits, DJ Snake is joining forces with Hublot to unveil an exclusive creation: the Big Bang DJ Snake. A watch boasting a myriad of facets, just like the talented artist who inspired it.

"To be able to wear – and also offer my fans – a watch which reflects my personality is something that has been very important to me since the start of my partnership with Hublot. I am delighted to have been able to combine my inspiration with the expertise of the fantastic watchmakers and technicians at this Swiss brand." - DJ Snake

"DJ Snake turns everything he touches to gold! We are thrilled to have been able to channel his outstanding creativity into this new limited edition piece. The result is truly multifaceted, just like DJ Snake's talents!" - Ricardo Guadalupe, HUBLOT CEO

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

DJ Snake has such a huge presence in today's musical landscape that he needs no introduction. 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. Diplo, Kanye West, Lil Jon… the collaborations keep on coming! 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.

 
Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

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.   

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

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. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Not only that, but the surface of the parts was 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. An illustration of the "Art of Fusion" philosophy so dear to Hublot!

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. A nod both to his travels across the planet for his concerts and to the fact that his hits have made the world his home. 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. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

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.
