The Art of Fusion - Twenty Years of Big Bang

The art of fusion, this watchmaking concept is by no means limited to material innovation and complex functions, but transforms the brand's love for multiple fields such as art, football, tennis, athletics, food, music, etc. into an in-depth dialogue with different circles, in order to integrate into the watch design with a new creative perspective, and constantly break through the limitations of materials, fusion and aesthetics. In the 20 years since the birth of the Big Bang series, the Big Bang has also become a creative platform, accommodating many amazing creative ideas from artists, athletes, luxury brands, charity organizations and other fields. The best Hublot Big Bang replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

The representative of cross-border cooperation with the sports field is the limited edition BIG Bang unico launched for brand ambassador Novak Djokovic. In order to design a mechanical watch for Djokovic that can really be worn to play tennis games and provide a light and comfortable wearing experience, Hublot positioned this work as an ultra-light sports watch, so Hublot made a lot of efforts to reduce its weight in all aspects.

Now, Hublot first combines the carbon fiber racket used by Djokovic with the fragments of the POLO shirt he wore through the reinforced resin to create a new composite material. It is not only commemorative, but also weighs only 49.5 grams when the watch is combined with the ultra-light elastic strap that comes with the watch, which is lighter than a tennis ball. Secondly, although it is based on the Big Bang Unico chronograph, it also has many exclusive designs for Djokovic, such as the rare hollow case, which is like the lightness of a racing car, including the timing buttons on both sides, which are also made like tennis balls. Because of the lightweight, these two buttons are replaced with rubber-coated aluminum. Hublot pursues extreme lightness and does not miss any opportunity to make the watch lighter, even the watch glass. Hublot no longer uses traditional sapphire crystal glass because it is too heavy, so it is replaced with tempered glass that is equally strong and weighs only half the weight of sapphire.

Hublot's representative work of artistic design in the Big Bang series is none other than tattoos. In 2016, the brand started in-depth cooperation with London's pioneering tattoo studio Sang Bleu. In the past seven years, the two sides have created three generations of Big Bang Sang Bleu watches. From the first generation based on the Unico movement, abandoning the chronograph module and using a dial display structure, to the second generation returning to the design of the Unico chronograph function, to the third generation with a multi-faceted three-dimensional structure, re-deconstructing the Spirit of BIG BANG's iconic barrel case, each iteration is a visual revolution of the watch.

The design soul of the Big Bang Sang Bleu watch comes from the harmonious proportions and golden ratio aesthetics drawn by Sang Bleu founder Maxime Bucci from Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting "Vitruvian Man". Hublot injects extreme perfection into the engraving of the shell and the dial through the cross-border integration of watchmaking craftsmanship and tattoo techniques. Each generation of tattoo, no matter what material the case, dial or even hands are made of, has gone through multiple processes such as polishing, satin, slicing, engraving, chamfering, faceting, etc., and geometric elements such as hexagons, rhombuses, triangles, etc. are superimposed layer by layer, and finally a three-dimensional visual effect with sharp edges and corners like architecture and sculptures is constructed. This creative concept of using precision machinery as a canvas and geometric lines as brushstrokes also allows the tattoo watch to present a sharp and vigorous aesthetic tension in the flow of light and shadow, making it a unique wrist artwork.
