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.

IWC – BIG PILOT’s Watch Monopusher Edition “Le Petit Prince”

 

IWC Schaffhausen – BIG PILOT’s Watch Monopusher Chronograph Edition “Le Petit Prince” 2021

IWC PRESENTS THE FIRST BIG PILOT’S WATCH WITH A CHRONOGRAPH FUNCTION

Schaffhausen, 25th November 2021 - IWC Schaffhausen has unveiled the Big Pilot’s Watch Monopusher Edition “Le Petit Prince”, the first Big Pilot’s Watch with a chronograph function. The mechanical stopwatch is controlled via a single push-button which is beautifully integrated into the distinctive conical crown. Limited to 500 pieces, this “Le Petit Prince” edition features the characteristic deep-blue sunburst dial and a stainless-steel case.

Chronographs are a core competence of IWC. The mechanical stopwatch is also a mainstay in the brand’s Pilot’s Watches collection. Now, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer pairs its most iconic aviator’s watch with a chronograph function for the first time.

    “IWC has always been about tackling engineering challenges and finding technically elegant solutions. We have had the idea to present a Big Pilot’s Watch with a chronograph function for some time now. However, one can hardly imagine the unmistakable design with the large case and conical crown with two chronograph pushers on the side of the case. Therefore, we hit upon the surprising and at the same time logical idea to integrate a monopusher chronograph,”

Christian Knoop, Creative Director of IWC Schaffhausen.

The monopusher chronograph is controlled via a single push-button integrated into the crown, making it exceptionally user-friendly and practical. When the button is pushed once, a new timing starts. Pressing the button a second time stops the timing. Stop times of up to one hour are displayed on the totaliser at 12 o’clock. When the button is pushed a third time, the chronograph is reset to zero.

In the tradition of IWC’s special editions in honour of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s world-famous novel,the Big Pilot’s Watch Monopusher Edition “Le Petit Prince” features the signature deep-blue sunburst dial. It is complemented with a stainless-steel case and rhodiumplated hands. In addition, the hands, indices, and applied numerals have been coated with luminous material to make the dial easier to read at night.

The IWC-manufactured 59365 calibre is one of three in-house chronograph movements from IWC. 

Alongside the movements from the 69000 and 89000 calibre families, it underscores the comprehensive expertise that IWC has acquired in the design and manufacturing of chronographs.

In addition, it is also the brand’s only chronograph movement that is wound manually: 70 revolutions of the crown are enough to build up the maximum power reserve of eight days. A power-reserve indication on the back of the movement, which can be seen through the sapphire-glass case back, shows the energy remaining in the mainspring.

Fitted with a brown calfskin strap with a folding clasp, the Big Pilot’s Watch Monopusher Edition “Le Petit Prince” is available through IWC boutiques, authorised retail partners or online on IWC.com. In addition, the timepiece is eligible for registration under the My IWC care programme and can benefit from a 6-year extension to the standard 2-year International Limited Warranty.
