Hublot Big Bang Yacht Club Monaco

Hublot positively reaffirms the links that it has constantly forged with the sea and yachting. As a long-standing partner and friend of the prestigious Yacht Club of Monaco, the Swiss watchmaker is participating from 12 to 16 September in the 8th Monaco Classic Week. This provides an occasion for the Swiss watchmaker and the Monaco Club to strengthen their relations and share moments dedicated to their common values.

Hublot Mag Bang

Hublot is to present an exclusive, unheard-of concept in the shape of its new Mag Bang. Not only is it the first time that a case and movement are being made in the same material and finish, but another world premiere is the use of Hublonium for each component! The whole piece is made entirely ‘in-house’ at Hublot.

Hublot Big Bang All Black Split-Second For the Ayrton Senna Institute

The famous Big Bang All Black is the model that provided the inspiration for Hublot and the Ayrton Senna Institute and their creation bearing the driver’s name. This sophisticated black watch is composed of similar materials to those used in the automotive industry, and executed with attention down to the last detail in the search for the ultimate performance. State-of-the-art technology, painstaking care, the quest for avant-garde design and the perfect finish are all common factors that lead to success. The distinguishing features of the Ayrton Senna watch, aside from the champion’s signature splashed across the dial in red, are the Chronograph Split-Second hand and the Power Reserve Indicator. The Split-Second hand can be used to record an intermediate time by means of the two chronograph seconds hands. When recording a time, the first so-called “Split-Second” hand is stopped while the second continues to move. This mechanism makes it possible to observe the lapsed period. Then, by pressing the push-piece a second time, the hand is made to catch up with and remain superposed on the seconds hand. The function can be used to calculate the intermediate time of one runner, or the times of two runners. Personalised touches to this exceptional timepiece include the Split-Second hand cloaked in green and yellow, the colours of Brazil, and the push-piece in red to co-ordinate with the signature of Ayrton Senna displayed on the dial.

Hublot Big Bang King Porto Cervo

Among its 2007 novelties, Hublot has launched the largest watch – 48 mm in diameter – in its collection. A Big Bang of ideal proportions suited to slender as well as larger wrists ! The red gold and white ceramic Porto Cervo model is a good example of this, all the more so as its light and luminous colour is also particularly appreciated by women. Sporty, distinctive, elegant and … visible.

The features of the Big Bang are enhanced by the red gold numerals inserted in the unidirectional rotating bezel. The gold was cast in recesses hollowed out of the ceramic using an innovative process. Even if its look clearly asserts its vocation as a diving watch, the Big Bang King is suitable for all your outings, not only for the underwater kind ! In this giant timekeeper which matches fine wrists perfectly, we instantly recognise Hublot’s signature, not only in the fusion of materials but also in its style, which is at once sporty and refined.

Hublot Big Bang “Polo Club Saint-Tropez”

To mark the launch of the summer season, Hublot, the watchmaking brand, is opening a St. Tropez branch, its second single-brand store in France after the Paris branch, and using the occasion to launch a limited edition new model of its famous Big Bang, sporting the ‘Polo Club Saint-Tropez’ logo.

In mid-June, the famous Swiss watchmaking brand opened a second single-brand store in France, after locating its Paris branch in the Rue Saint Honoré. Three months after the opening of its Paris store, Hublot has now decided to put down roots in St. Tropez. Situated inside the Byblos hotel, the Nyon workshop has chosen a prime setting in the heart of St. Tropez old town.

To cement its presence in the most jet-setting harbour in the world, Hublot is entering a new prestigious partnership, in the wake of its Monaco Yacht Club and Wally Yacht associations, this time with the St. Tropez Polo Club. Especially for the occasion, Hublot has produced a limited edition of 250 Big Bang pieces carrying the ‘Polo Club Saint-Tropez’ logo. The model will be presented at the gala dinner to be held on 7th July, on the eve of the season’s first polo competition finals: the International Polo Cup. It’s the first time that a Big Bang 44mm comes with two interchangeable straps, one in a fusion of alligator skin and rubber, which makes this model an exclusive on more than one count. The steel case is adorned with a white ceramic bezel and white dial embellished with a hint of azure blue at 9 o’clock in the form of the ‘Polo Club Saint-Tropez’ logo. The colour of the bezel is by no means an accident, it’s the very same white that has earned St. Tropez its international reputation.
