When Hublot unveiled the Big Bang in 2005, it shook the watch world with a vision unlike anything seen before: a bold, oversized case, a layered construction, and a philosophy the brand called the ‘Art of Fusion’. It wasn’t just a watch, it was a revolution. Two decades later, the Big Bang has become the first true icon of 21st-century watchmaking, a platform for daring materials, explosive colors, and boundary-breaking design. To mark this milestone, Hublot celebrates with a capsule of limited editions and fresh novelties that honor the past while pointing boldly toward the future.
The Anniversary Editions
For the 20th anniversary, Hublot has fused elements from the original 2005 Big Bang with the modern Big Bang Unico, resulting in five commemorative models. Each carries a 43mm case with layered construction, engraved carbon-pattern dials, and the in-house Unico flyback chronograph movement with a special gold rotor marking the anniversary.
Big Bag Titanium Ceramic & Big Bang King Gold Ceramic
A return to the original fusion, recalling the first steel-and-gold Big Bangs, complete with lozenge-patterned rubber straps and rubber-tipped pushers. Big Bang Titanium Ceramic is limited 500 pieces and Big Bang King Gold Ceramic with 250 pieces only.
Big Bang Red Magic
A fiery statement in Hublot’s in-house red ceramic, celebrating its pioneering mastery of colored ceramics. Big Bang Red Magic is limited to 100 pieces.
Big Bang All Black
A stealthy tribute to the radical “invisible visibility” concept launched in 2006, now updated with a carbon-pattern dial. Big Bang All Black is limited to 500 pieces.
Big Bang Magic Gold
The world’s first scratch-resistant 18K gold alloy, fusing ceramic resilience with gold’s timeless allure. Big Bang Magic Gold is limited to 100 pieces.
Big Bang One Click Joyful 33mm collection: A Joyful Burst of Color
Marking the anniversary with a more playful twist, Hublot also introduces the Big Bang One Click Joyful 33mm collection. Compact, vibrant, and versatile, these five new references revive the rainbow energy of early Big Bangs with gem-set bezels and matching straps. Each edition pairs glossy white dials with bezels set in dazzling stones: red spinels, orange sapphires, pink sapphires, blue topaz, or green tsavorites, paired with Hublot’s quick-change strap system for easy personalization. With its vivid hues and gemstone brilliance, the One Click Joyful channels the exuberance and individuality that defined the Big Bang from its earliest days.
As Hublot CEO Julien Tornare notes, the Big Bang is more than a timepiece; it’s a mindset: audacious, unexpected, and endlessly evolving. The 20th anniversary is both a reflection on two decades of disruption and a springboard for the future. With its fusion of materials, mastery of color, and refusal to play by the rules, the Big Bang continues to redefine what a modern icon can be.
