Hublot introduces its newest artwork – Big Bang Sang Bleu – the result of a unique collaboration between the renowned Swiss brand and Maxime Büchi, well-known and respected name in the world of tattooing. A brand-new, totally redesigned Big Bang, which sees its lines beveled, cut by the geometric effect. The bezel of the Big Bang sees its roundness shaped into a hexagon. These facets confer a three-dimensional effect upon it. The matt black dial presents a wide black satin- finish circular flange stamped with the hours. The numerals created for this piece by Maxime’s typeface-design agency SwissTypefaces SARL.

As for the seconds counter, it appears discreetly on the metal sculpture that dresses the dial. Curves that contrast with the piece as a whole. As if to reinforce its mysterious spirit and give time another dimension, no hand appears on the dial. The time is displayed through the superposition of three rhodium- plated octagonal-shaped discs. The largest disc indicates the hours, while the small one marks the minutes. To make it easier to tell the time, one of the tips of the hours and minutes octagons is in white Superluminova. As for the seconds, these tick by in the center on a black disc stamped with the H of Hublot and the stylised hourglass of Sang Bleu.

Available in a run of 200 pieces, the titanium Big Bang Sang Bleu follows the rhythm of the Unico manufacture movement, which has been entirely remodeled without a chronograph and redesigned in order to tell the time through three discs. As for the oscillating weight, its silhouette features the triangular codes of the Sang Bleu logo. The motifs of the dial are extended to the 45-mm titanium case which is engraved to resemble the geometry of the sculpture. The Big Bang Sang Bleu is held on a black calfskin strap. Sewn onto rubber, it is hot stamped in a gradient from black to gray. As a reminder of the collaboration, the Sang Bleu logo is engraved on the back of the strap.
This model will appeal to all those who will not go as far as a real tattoo but can wear this unique model like an ephemeral tattoo on their wrist.
