HUBLOT Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu Sapphire. Since 2016, the Hublot x Sang Bleu collaboration has seen the celebrated typographer, tattooist, artist, and founder of Sang Bleu, Maxime Plescia-Buchi, set down his indelible and distinct features, and stamp his three-dimensional geometry with both relief and depth onto Hublot watches. From the Big Bang in 2016 to Spirit of Big Bang in 2023, 2024 is once again making its mark. It has kept the Spirit of Big Bang, maintaining the 42 mm diameter and the soul of the barrel shape, while offering a different aesthetic finish. It is a watch that, even with its ultra-generous proportions and assertive shape, offers perfect ergonomics to suit all wrist sizes, both feminine and masculine. There's no change on the movement side, with the HUB4700, a skeletonized automatic chronograph with date at 4.30, 50-hour power reserve and its oscillating weight redesigned in the Sang Bleu style. The sapphire now extends from the dial - which already revealed the HUB4700 self-winding skeleton chronograph movement through the disc hands designed by Sang Bleu - to the case and the bezel, enhancing the watch’s organic design. The complexity of the design of the collection, plus the demanding geometry of Maxim Plescia-Buchi’s polygonal tattooing, meant that Hublot once again had to push back the boundaries of machining sapphire. Under the impact of the sapphire’s transparency, the purity of the Sang Bleu features, which remain sharp and methodical, expresses itself here in an ultra-light minimalist style, both visually and on the wrist. A fascinating and highly demanding material, whose total transparency required an absolutely perfect level of finish. Thanks to 3D machining and over 100 hours of work, the Spirit of Big Bang Sapphire Sang Bleu is practically as hard and scratch-resistant as a diamond (9 on the Mohs scale, compared to 10 for diamonds). The only remaining non-transparent elements are the crown, the push buttons, the screws on the case, the 6 H-shaped screws on the bezel, and the folding clasp, all cut out of titanium, and the components of the movement. Produced in a run of 100 pieces; making this a collector’s edition!
HUBLOT Big Bang Unico Orange Ceramic. The Big Bang has introduced different variations of blue, grey and green. Then, in 2019, it presented a world first when the first brightly coloured ceramic was released: a vibrant red. The second of these achievements came in 2021, with a stunning yellow piece. But the Big Bang collector is not someone who is content with the status quo. Far from it! Hublot has therefore continued to innovate and develop new colors, the very latest of which is this orange. Developing an original ceramic color is as simple to say... as it is complex to achieve. The workload should not be underestimated: it requires in-depth research & development. Which additives are needed? In what proportions? What type of firing, at what temperature, and for how long? How can it be machined? Should it have a satin finish? Or polished? How resistant is it to impacts? What about scratches? What pressure? What chemical recipe? This is just a small part of the specifications that govern the development of a new ceramic. And every single aspect is exacting, as the standards guaranteed by Hublot for its ceramic are among the most stringent on the market. 100% internal expertise, patent-protected. The new Big Bang Unico Orange Ceramic follows in the footsteps of its predecessors. It offers a unique, perfectly uniform colour, whatever exterior component it is used to adorn. It is finished to a very high watchmaking standard, with a perfect mirror polish all over. A blend of high technology and savoir faire were necessary to achieve this level of excellence on all the components, due to their diverse shapes, thicknesses, and angles. Hublot has recreated the exact color of the ceramic for the indices, counters on the dial and hands, as well as for the integrated rubber strap. This strap features the patented "One-Click" system for quick, tool-free changes. This series is limited to 250 pieces. At its heart beats the Unico Chronograph Manufacture calibre. This is the very latest generation of the automatic flyback chronograph movement developed by Hublot. Guaranteeing a three-day power reserve (72 hours), it retains the same aesthetic signature: column wheel at 6 o'clock, bicompax layout (small seconds at 9 o'clock, 60-minute counter at 3 o'clock with integrated date), silicon escapement, and the always demonstrative and powerful skeleton architecture. The Unico sits inside the iconic Big Bang case. This version is 42 mm in diameter and features the famous 6 titanium 'H' shaped bezel screws and lugs on either side of the case that echo the design of a ship’s porthole.

Love your channel and presentation, respect hublot for their efforts.
Yes, respect, lots of respect... that's what Hublot deserves... Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
I’ve seen the orange in person. Color looks really good. Reflect the light very nicely. Vividly
In the past I haven’t been a big Hublot fan, but wow! That sapphire piece is truly beautiful. I had an easy time reading it and I’d gladly wear that. I’m happy to hear they’re doing their own movements now. I’ll definitely consider them now in the future.
Thanks for sharing! When was the last time that you got involved with Hublot? “Doing their own movements now” That’s not new… they are doing this for a good while now….
To be fair it’s been a long time and I admit I never looked into them much. To this point they didn’t have a watch that really compelled me, but this sapphire one did. I’ll pay closer attention to them now.
@jrw124 Have fun and let me know if you have any questions….
Cooles Video. Saphire cases sind wild. Ich liebe meine Yellow Magic. Orange ist auch cool.
Thanks for sharing! May your Hublot continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours!
The sapphire piece looks like it was created by the cosmos itself.
That’s not an easy exercise for sure… Hublot is a leader in this industry …
They are beautiful watches, in my opinion. Sang Bleu is superior
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and passion with us!
I agree. Hublot is not meh anymore. Mr Guadalupe was able to transform Hublot into real haute horology. Some watch snobs are simply living in the past. I own a previous Sang Blue chrono in blue ceramics and it’s a great piece. It’s a great and surprisingly usable watch as well as a real design masterpiece. I don’t consider Hublot anything but a true horology giant anymore because they truly are.
I like Hublot because they are interesting. I couldn’t afford one, but like a pretty woman, I can admire from afar.
If we could afford everything we wanted… we wouldn’t dream anymore… 😉
Rolex looking at that red ceramic 👀
In what sense?
@@WatchAdvisor rolex had a lot of problems with the red ceramic of the pepsi. There are batches of watches with different hues of red. Some of them more saturared, less saturared, some with a pinkish hue etc thats probably the reason why we dont have a gmt coke yet. They are still struggling for consistency
Thanks for clarifying! Interesting read…
@@WatchAdvisor google "rolex pepsi mk1 mk2 mk3" and you will see the comparisons between the batches. 👍
👍🏻
Not my cup of coffee but i appreciate the work thats gone into making that sapphire watch
Hublot is the only watch manufacturer that is able to this in this outstanding quality and quantity…
At last a Hublot the Dutchman can love and wear 🤣
Oranje…
Hublot being more transparent...and greyish with the screws or milky with the screw threads😂 thats why it is 10bar waterproof isn't it?
Can you specify please?
The price is not the thing of this world.
There are enough Maxime Plescia-Buchi admirers worldwide to sell these 100 pieces for that price…
Just imagine rm have introduced it. people would have gone crazy..the only problem with the brand is their movement..
That with RM ist very true! Thanks for sharing! But what is wrong with the movement? Can you specify please?
Like they dont bring some highly complexed movements and their starting line uses some generic movement, dont you agree?
You must be a Nico Leonard fan. Talking about Hublot movement he doesn’t know. The entry level I agree but not all models.
Then what would you say about Panerai ? Cartier ? Rolex ? Entry level of AP is also not crazy movement you know…
Don’t get blinded by a TH-camr talking trash.
He spits so much on Ulysse Nardin then was excited like small puppy when they passed him a watch with his name
Same he spitted so much on Jacob and been so nice when visited them in Monaco.
@@GG-gk7jn u r right,i am not a hardcore watch expert ,and i got your point
@@siddharthkumar443they have some of the most complicated movements (minute repeater, tourbillon etc. etc.). Hublot is typically not an low 5-figures brand. The music plays mostly in the mid 5-figures to 6-figures+.
Only the utmost entry level at Hublot is equipped with Sellita-Movements (which are still very heavy modified and accurate), which are not fancy decorated but still very nicely finished. You have to see them in the daylight in person to really get a grasp.
Wow, that sapphire watch is absolutely ridiculous - not in a good way..
It is apiece of art created by an artist for Hublot… Tastes are different…
