The exquisite architecture of the dial is a subtle reference to the measuring instruments of yesteryear, the astrolabes, which have accompanied the exploration of time and space through the centuries.

A subtle play of volumes, an aerial structure, as well as the Roman indexes, immediately offer a scientific and intuitive reading of the aegis of time.

Collection ORIGIN: to the sources of universal time

ORIGIN collection delves into the very sources of astronomy and mathematics, the two disciplines at the origin of watchmaking.

In three models, it embodies a cosmographic approach to time, where science and mystery of the universe, from the infinitely big to the infinitely small, are one.

It is also a tribute to the famous UNITAS developed by Auguste Reymond. Known across the world for its robustness and outstanding reliability, this mechanical movement now equips every model in the ORIGIN series.

Inspired by the proportions of sacred geometry, the ORIGIN case is harmoniously balanced in aspect.

With a diameter of 44 mm, its design, decidedly characteristic of modern watchmaking, comprises four distinct but intimately interrelated elements: the housing containing the movement, protected by a skeletonised case with openwork horns and middle, the bezel and the screwed case back.

AUGUSTE REYMOND  – more 120 years of history

Its history begins in 1898, when a young man of twenty-six years, Auguste Reymond, starts to manufacture the first watches which will bear his name or the brand ARSA (Auguste Reymond SA).

The success was immediate and a decade later, the factory employs more than a hundred people and becomes the most important employer in the Bernese Jura.

Its timepieces and UNITAS movements are renowned for their quality and reliability, for which Auguste Reymond has been awarded numerous watchmaking prizes.

In 2021, the company opens a new chapter in its history. Acquired two years earlier by Philip W.A. Klingenberg, the workshops moved to Nidau on the shores of Lake Biel.

While remaining faithful to the values of the brand, the Auguste Reymond factory now expresses a new philosophy of Time. A mystical mission vibrating notably in sacred geometry accompanies the design of the new collections.

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

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.

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).
