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.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
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.

282-component, manufacture HUB6035 calibre within beats at 3 Hz and
gives 72 hours of power reserve. Just 50 pieces will be produced, each

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.
