The dial has been designed with the utmost care and attention to showcase the tourbillon and the chronograph. Naturally, this watch features the aesthetic codes of the Tonda collection – an ode to roundness – as well as the teardrop-shaped lugs which are characteristic of the brand. A hymn to Haute Horlogerie and a celebration of state-of-the-art expertise.

This exquisite rose gold timepiece, measuring 43 mm in diameter, features a magnificent slate-colour guilloché dial. An opening at 6 o'clock showcases the ultra-sophisticated tourbillon, while a counter at 3 o'clock displays the minutes of the chronograph. The small seconds takes its place on the counter at 9 o'clock, while the power reserve is displayed at 12 o'clock.

The appliques and the skeletonised delta-shaped hour and minute hands elegantly pick up the colour of the case, crown and push-pieces. Powered by the PF354 manually-wound mechanical calibre, this watch offers a power reserve of 65 hours. As is always the case with Parmigiani, the decoration of the movement took a great deal of work.

The various finishes can be admired through the sapphire crystal at the back of the timepiece. Paired with a Hermès Havana alligator strap with rose gold pin buckle, this watch is water-resistant to 10 metres.

The PF354 movement, produced entirely in-house, contains no fewer than 295 components and has a power reserve of 72 hours. Its value can be appreciated in the minute details of its decoration, and reflects the degree of excellence upheld by the Parmigiani Fleurier watchmaking centre.

The bevelling of the tourbillon bridge and the circular graining on the barrel are both visible. Each calibre bears the inimitable hallmark of originality conferred by the craftsman's hand.

HUBLOT – BIG BANG One Click Marc Ferrero Edition

Black & White, duality without opposites

For its second artistic collaboration with the master of Storytelling Art, Hublot invites ‘Lipstick’, Marc Ferrero’s most emblematic work, back onto the dial of its Big Bang One Click 39mm.

In white or black, symbolising inseparable complementarity, it illustrates the universal duality of day and night. An essential white that is subtle/minimalist, seductive without being a seducer. A deep black that is audacious and magnetic. Two watches to remind us that the day without the night is not a day, and that the night without the day is not a night.

"I love the power of black and white. Shade and light. Yin and Yang. One is profound, unclassifiable, eternal. The other is subtle, ethereal, timeless. They symbolise antitheses and complementarity. Choosing black and white means getting straight to the point without an excess of tonalities. The black and white make ‘Lipstick’ even more graphic and its red lipstick—more magnetic." 
- Marc Ferrero

From colour to black and white

This time, the artist known for his typically colourful palette tells a story in black and white, in the form of two limited-edition numbered models in a run of 100 pieces. One, in satin-finish polished steel and resin, with a lacquered dial and calf and rubber strap, all in white.

The other, in black ceramic with a lacquered dial and calf and rubber strap, in a pairing of black and white. Two opposites that attract and complement each other. Marc Ferrero conveys the message of a free woman in this iconic duo of watches, by affixing his work from the dial and extending to the strap.

Playing with contrasts, only the lipstick asserts itself in colour, in a flashy red, a reminder that, underneath the large black glasses, ‘Lipstick’ is paying tribute to the woman of the 21st century. A heroine of modern times, multifaceted, assured and enigmatic. A woman who dares to do anything, directly, and without subterfuge.

Black or white, why choose?
