Big Bang is a line of bold watches produced by Hublot since 2004.

Overview

Shortly after watch visionary Jean-Claude Biver invested in Hublot and became CEO, he pushed to create a bold statement for the brand. In April 2004, the first Big Bang was released. Inspired by the successful Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, the Big Bang combines exotic materials in contrasting colors in an oversized watch. Biver called it “Art of Fusion” and it was wildly successful with buyers. Hublot combined various materials Kevlar®, carbon, ceramic, magnesium, tungsten, stainless steel, gold and, as with the original Hublot models, rubber. A striking feature of the design, as in the first Hublot models designed by Carlo Crocco, is the band A layer of Kevlar® in the watch case gives the impression that the bracelet runs smoothly through it.

At the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève 2005 the “Big Bang” won the award for “Best Design” and has become an outstanding sales success. Every Big Bang model is technically a limited edition, and the company has continued to creatively source materials, including red ceramic and “Magic Gold”. The company has also created creative watch movements shown through skeleton dials.

Sizes

The watch is available in different sizes 44 mm (Standard), 41 mm and 38 mm. In addition, as a diver model, "Big Bang King" in the oversized 48 mm.
