Hublot - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

If watchmaking is a technical art, then the Hublot Big Bang Unico Black Ceramic & Magic Gold is a masterful expression of it. This watch perfectly embodies Hublot's dear "Art of Fusion" philosophy, blending avant-garde materials, bold design, and high-flying watchmaking engineering. At the heart of this Big Bang beats the Unico caliber HUB1242, a flyback chronograph with a column wheel and horizontal clutch on the dial side (!!), entirely designed and manufactured by Hublot. This movement is a true technical feat, offering a 72-hour power reserve and perfect readability thanks to its skeletonized dial. The movement's architecture is both robust and spectacular, with a modern, industrial finish that blends perfectly with the watch's design. The flyback function allows the chronograph to be reset with a single press, a feature that is both practical and impressive. Hublot is a pioneer in the use of innovative materials, and this Big Bang is a perfect example. Magic Gold, an alloy patented by Hublot, is the first scratch-resistant 18K gold, thanks to its fusion with ceramic. This means this watch can be worn without fear of everyday scratches, and the gold has a more bronze-like appearance, making it less ostentatious and more rugged. As for the black ceramic case, it combines lightness with extreme strength. Hublot has mastered this ultra-technical material to create a case that is both elegant and extremely durable. The matte texture of the ceramic reinforces the sporty and sophisticated character of the watch, while making it incredibly comfortable on the wrist. The structured rubber strap, Hublot's signature, enhances the comfort and sportiness of the piece. Moreover, thanks to the One Click system, it is easily interchangeable, allowing the watch to be adapted to any occasion. Conclusion: An Avant-Garde Watch at the Service of Excellence The Hublot Big Bang Unico Black Ceramic & Magic Gold is a watch that perfectly embodies innovation and Swiss watchmaking expertise. Its high-performance movement, revolutionary materials and powerful design make it a unique timepiece, both technically and aesthetically fascinating.

I had the opportunity to acquire this watch in 2010. It was named "fusion of materials". Indeed, these materials are: ceramic, carbon fiber, steel and rubber which characterizes this watch. It is recognizable from very far away even for those who know little about watchmaking. It is very pleasant to wear despite its large size. The complications that characterize this watch are the date and the chrono. I like to look at it and it has a timeless look. I am won over!

It is impossible to wear a HUBLOT without a little pang in the heart: apart from as a football player or to get noticed, the HUBLOT brand is often a reason for mockery. That was my opinion before falling in love with this watch when I was a teenager and which was for me a symbol of chic sport style with the most beautiful effect: a quartz chronograph with a 36mm format and especially this natural rubber strap that smelled of vanilla. This watch is perfect for small wrists and it has nothing pretentious but remains sporty and chic with both a folding clasp and a perfect shape. It is MDM GENEVE on its dial, that is to say the 1st version of HUBLOT before becoming the brand that we know. Steel with a smooth bezel marked in black, its 3 counter with a simple date on a white disc at 6 o'clock, ultra light it is forgotten on the wrist. Do not have everyone's watch and remain discreet however with a HUBLOT
