Thank you very much for this very detailed and !unbiased! review. I was unsure about purchasing a Hublot in general mainly due to the "hate" against the brand from many watch lovers. After almost 3 months now after purchasing the Hublot Big Bang Ceramic Gold, and I am more then pleased with this timepiece and would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a fantastic looking watch
Alexander Munn Hi Alexander, welcome to our channel! Congratulations on buying the watch you love; nobody's opinion should pressure you into choosing otherwise. There's a great deal to love about Hublot, and while the brand isn't my personal favorite, I respect Hublot's technological capability, history of innovation, and fearless will to push the limits of style. If companies like AP and Hublot weren't willing to take risks, we'd all be wearing 32mm dress watches whether we liked them or not. Variety rocks, and Hublot's all about variety. Plus, they make lots of really cool stuff like this: www.hublot.com/en/news/classic-fusion-tourbillon-vitrail Best, Tim
Hi Badr Al Sharif, Thank you for the kind words! I do my best to keep these fun and informative, so building my subscriber base has been a steady process, but it's really started to accelerate in the last few months. I'll keep the videos coming, so please continue to enjoy them! Best, Tim
Hello Tim, Thanks for the review. I want to buy hublot big bang unico, but i'm not sure which one, the ceramic titanium or full titanium I heard that the titanium bezel is easy to get scratched My friend suggest me to buy the ceramic because the bezel is more tough Please give me some advice Thank you Tim!
algorithm007ify From an engineering standpoint, I would place it on par with the Breitling B01/04.05 series, the Omega Cal 33XX chronos, and the Panerai Cal. 9000 series. The architecture, power reserves, and column wheel are comparable enough between them. Granted, Omega's 33XX has a 50-ish hour power reserve, but I feel that its mechanical qualities (vertical clutch, column wheel, auto) put it in this league, and its chronometer status/co-axial escapement add a fascinating technical counterpoint to the silicon components, longer power reserve, and flyback feature of the Unico. One note on the silicon components within the Unico; they include the escapement assembly but *not* the hairspring. This negates most of the antimagnetic advantage of the material. Against that gripe, I'll give Hublot's watchmakers credit for designing the chronograph to drive the hour counter directly off the barrel. This greatly improves the precision (via enhanced balance amplitude) of the movement when the chronograph is active. Moreover, Hublot employs an unusual double horizontal clutch rather than a vertical clutch on the Unico. While less refined in an aesthetic sense, this system trades a less fluid stop/start for a very efficient chrono operation that drains little power from the remaining drive train and the mainspring. Over time, this system ensures more accurate timing. The Rolex 4130 and Omega 9300 are comparable to the Unico in terms of operating refinement and modern architecture, but both 9300 and 4130 reside in a higher echelon of durability relative to these others. Moreover, the Omega features a true silicon hairspring, balance, and escapement assembly that *does* invest it with the antimagnetic properties a true anti-mag watch should exhibit (more than even the Rolex Milgauss). And due to the skeletonized dial of many Unico applications, the movement was designed to look good and expose a large number of components (clutch assembly, column wheel, chrono hammers) that normally hide within the top (watch case back) of the movement main plate (i.e., out-of-sight from the dial side).

Whatd yours thoughts on it still and do you still have it ? Looking at getting the black magic version
This channel is awesome. Keep up the good work Tim.
Best watch review Chanel ever! 😃👍🏻 ps. One of the most beautiful hands too! 😄
Great review and channel! You should have more subscribers.
Keep them coming

Hello Tim
how would you rate the movement in the watch?

@@the1916company Thank you for this highly informative reply. I was wondering about the anti-magnetic properties.
Hi Tim, I'm looking to buy one of these, anymore in stock? I'm based in the UK, do you ship out here?
I am looking at looking this exact one ... but like £15,000
Hublot definitely looks sick! But this piece does not hold value.
Been looking at this myself and the Black Magic version but not sure if to go for Omega Dark side of the moon all black ceramic edition instead
