New product alert: the first Big Bang with an integrated bracelet! 15 years
after its creation, the Big Bang features its FIRST integrated metal bracelet,
with the first link fused with the case. An integrated bracelet means a
restyled case, with Hublot’s signature codes: UNIQUE & DIFFERENT. A single,
unique piece featuring integrated architecture; a fusion of technology and
style for the wrist. A watch that embodies the spirit of Hublot, with its
iconic use of black ceramic, King Gold or titanium. The new launch consists of
three models, including a 500-piece limited edition All Black version dedicated
to the “invisible visibility” concept introduced in 2006.
“15 years of the Big Bang and a new first. A unique, fully integrated
bracelet and a redesigned case for a different clientèle. The Big Bang Integral
and its integrated architecture have propelled this model into a whole new
universe.” -Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO Hublot
2005-2020 – 15 years of the Big Bang
Launched at Baselworld in 2005, the Big Bang, a fusion of steel, ceramic and
rubber, introduced the Art of Fusion and its iconic design – a huge success for
Hublot.
2020 – The year of the integrated bracelet
In 2020, to mark its 15th anniversary, the Big Bang is available for the first
time in its history with a tailored integrated bracelet which sits perfectly
against the skin. So perfectly, in fact, that to look at the Big Bang Integral
– with a visual harmony resulting from absolute proportions – you would think
that it had always existed.
A UNIQUE bracelet unlike any other. Its aesthetic signature is powerful enough
for it to be instantly associated with that of the Big Bang. Three links: one
central and two lateral; in that respect, at least, a standard bracelet. But
then its sharp style adopts the codes of the case, with edges that not only
echo the aesthetic of the pushers but also the architecture of the middle with
is cutouts. The polished and satin-finished surfaces, and the bevelling and
chamfering of the links, create the same effect of depth and contrast as
between the case and the bezel lug.
Of course, an integrated bracelet means a redesigned case. While its dial and
bezel are identical to the existing Big Bang 42 mm model – with the exception
of the indices which replace the Arabic numerals – its pushers return to the
codes of the original model from 2005. It is these pushers which inspired the
style of the bracelet, with their interplay of angles and chamfers and
alternating polished and satin finishes punctuating the watch, from the middle
to the bracelet.
The Big Bang Integral retains its iconic “sandwich” construction,
this time without the composite resin insert, with the watch crafted entirely
from one material – Titanium, King Gold, or Ceramic. The only exceptions are
the black composite resin lugs on its bezel and the crown overmoulded with
rubber.
It is released in three materials inextricably linked to the history of Hublot:
lightweight titanium, hard-wearing, scratch-proof ceramic (500 pieces) and King
Gold, a unique alloy of gold, copper and platinum which results in an intensely
red 18-carat gold and is exclusive to Hublot.
