As we all know, Hublot’s Big Bang series is more than just a watch, there is a legendary story about design and innovation behind it! Starting in 2004, JeanClaude Biver’s takeover changed the fate of Hublot and brought about a “revolution” in the watch industry. And how will the upcoming new Big Bang Soul Blue Carbon Fiber Watch in 2024 continue this legend? Come and find out more with me!
The creation and influence of the Big Bang series
In 2004, JeanClaude Biver launched the Big Bang series after taking over Hublot, which subverted everyone’s perception of watches. This series not only brings the brand characteristics of Hublot to the extreme, but also establishes its position in the luxury watch industry. Although the Big Bang series is not cheap, it has attracted the attention of many high-end consumers because of its limited release. It is precisely because of the success of the Big Bang series that everyone looks at Hublot with admiration.
Hublot’s Creation and Innovation
Hublot was actually founded in 1980 by Carlo Crocco. When he designed a watch, he combined precious metals with natural rubber for the first time. This design concept started a revolution in the watchmaking industry. Since then, Hublot has become a representative of the “art of fusion”, adept at combining different materials.
The Evolution of the Big Bang Soul Series
In addition to the Big Bang series, Hublot also launched the Big Bang soul series in 2014. Although this series has similar design elements to the Big Bang series, there are significant differences in the barrel-shaped case and the application of materials. It can be said that the Big Bang soul series is the continuation and improvement of the Big Bang series.
The design and materials of new watches in 2024
In 2024, Hublot will launch a new Big Bang soul blue carbon fiber watch (model: 642.QL.0191.NR.GCH24). Judging from the official trailer, this watch is made of sky blue frosted carbon fiber material, which is highly recognizable and also demonstrates Hublot’s “art of fusion” concept.
In fact, the reason why this watch is so eye-catching is not only its sky blue color, but also because of its unique treatment of carbon fiber material and artistic design. Especially the combination of sky blue carbon fiber material and hollow design is even more eye-catching.
Watch functions and movement technology
As a limited-edition high-end luxury watch, its complexity naturally goes beyond that. This new Big Bang Soul Blue Carbon Fiber watch is equipped with a blue fabric sports strap and a black structured rubber strap. The blue fabric sports strap is integrated with the case, while the black structured rubber strap adopts Hublot’s consistent design.
It should be noted that these two straps are equipped with Hublot’s consistent “one-click” quick replacement system, which is convenient for the wearer to change at any time. This watch is also a global limited edition with only 28 pieces.
Although the hollow design can show the beauty of the movement, if combined with a complex movement, it will make people feel chaotic. However, this new Big Bang soul blue carbon fiber watch achieves a perfect combination. Its complex movement and hollow design complement each other, showing the high performance of the watch while also being exquisite.
Equipped with the HUB4700 self-winding skeleton chronograph movement, it is a complex movement developed by Hublot itself. The movement consists of 278 components, including 31 jewels. The movement frequency reaches 36,000 times per hour, and the power storage capacity reaches 50 hours. In addition, the movement also has a timing function and a flyback function, which is very convenient to use.
This new Big Bang soul blue carbon fiber watch is waterproof to about 100 meters, which is not low among high-end luxury watches. However, as a skeletonized watch equipped with a complex movement, its waterproof capabilities are pretty good.
Conclusion
This article not only gave me a deeper understanding of Hublot’s history and innovation, but also made me look forward to the upcoming blue carbon fiber watch. After all, it is really admirable to be able to integrate so many design elements and technologies into a watch. Do you think this new watch is worth buying?
