Hublot, the daring trailblazer in haute horology, is once again tipping its hat to the Chinese Lunar New Year with the striking release of the limited edition Spirit of Big Bang for the Year of the Snake – and it’s nothing short of mesmerizing. Limited to a mere 88 pieces, this exclusive release sees the magnetic symbolism of the snake elegantly intertwined into every detail: a sleek black ceramic case, an intricately designed dial, and a matching strap all celebrate the snake’s litheness and charm. This timepiece isn’t just a pretty face, either. The Spirit of Big Bang flaunts its technical prowess through a signature skeleton dial that reveals the intricate workings of the HUB4700 automatic chronograph movement within – an enhanced derivative of the legendary El Primero. With innovations including a silicon escapement wheel aimed at reducing friction, this watch not only captivates with its aesthetic but also ensures it runs as smoothly as the snake it commemorates. Every glance at this dazzling piece promises a mix of old-school craft and edge-cutting innovation, perfectly tailored for the contemporary connoisseur.
The skeleton dial of this timepiece flaunts a serpentine engraving, masterfully crafted through gilt techniques and state-of-the-art laser precision. The intricate details are so vivid, it’s as if a mystical snake slithers through the trio of chronograph subdials, creating a fierce visual impact. Nestled within a sleek, black ceramic case that resembles a barrel, complemented by a threaded ceramic bezel and adorned with a snake-scale pattern, this watch is nothing short of striking. Hublot amps up the luxe factor with its exclusive “One Click” quick-changing strap system. The black rubber strap, crafted with an innovative embossing technique, sports a velvety texture that adds a touch of opulence to the overall design.
This wristwatch is a global exclusive with only 88 pieces available, and it has already hit the Hublot boutiques and authorized retailers. It’s a rare collecting opportunity for watch aficionados and enthusiasts alike.
