The famous Big Bang Tourbillon Samuel Ross has a satin-polished titanium cashmere and a rubber strap. Its unusual titanium honeycomb mesh and bold hue will make it the perfect piece for any collector – but if you like it, you’ll need to be quick, as there are only 50 pieces available.
The copy watch is incredibly lightweight, easy to wear, and comfortable, and made of titanium, sapphire, and PU polymer. The orange strap adds zest for life, but Hublot could replace the rubber strap with something more understated. But why would you want to do that? We like the energy of it.
At 44 mm in diameter and 13.8 mm thick, it’s a big old replica watch that makes the futuristic part stand out. At its heart is a skeletonized micro-rotor tourbillon (caliber HUB6035) that beats at 3Hz. Thanks to the sapphire dial, you can see the load of 282 components – but they are barely visible when the light hits them.
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, says he is very excited to have Ross on board. His multidisciplinary skills and creative vision will drive the Hublot team to be more innovative regarding ideas, materials, and colors.
“His charisma and creative vision bring out the best in our Hublot creative team, and I think you can see that in Big Bang Tourbillon Samuel Ross. It is a unique example of Samuel’s love of distinctive geometry, form, and design”.
Taking inspiration from engineering, Ross used the honeycomb structure as the cornerstone of the design. It is found everywhere – but especially in the honeycomb – bringing a sturdiness to the watch’s sapphire dial, case back, and strap without compromising on modern style.
He says.” Hublot is industrial design in its purest form. The design is inspired by the beauty of movement, acceleration, and industry and reflects our immediate environment. Cities, rough materials, and colors form the heart of our global landscape. Patches of deeply saturated hues bring this matter and repeated flashes of color into a universal palette of vigilance and connection to the worldwide melting pot – that’s where our signature orange stands out.”
