Watches & Wonders 2025: Hublot's Extensive Big Bang Anniversary Collection

It's big, it's baller, and it burst onto the scene with a bang 20 years ago. Since its release in 2005, the Big Bang has become nearly synonymous with Hublot, and its anniversary is the brand's focus this year. More than a collection, the Big Bang is a platform that encompasses many and various sub-collections, and the profusion of new models seems to echo its variety and the Hublot achievements it represents.

For Watches & Wonders 2025, Hublot is releasing well over 20 Big Bangs. Kicking it all of is a new Unico-powered chronograph model the design of which the brand describes as a "a fusion of the Big Bang Unico and the Big Bang Original." With carbon fiber dials, five versions introduce the newish form in Magic Gold, Red Magic, King Gold Ceramic, Titanium Ceramic, and All Black. See if you can spot which elements are specifically borrowed from the Unico and which are from the Original. We'd say they look a lot closer to a Big Bang Original from the dial and indices to the lugs and knurled bezel edge that featured on early variants.

For mega collectors, there's the High Complications set costing USD 1,099,000 (or CHF 1m) and showcasing the brand's mastery of materials and complications. Only one such set will be sold, and it comprises five watches in total. There's one model in ceramic, two in carbon (or carbon fiber), and two in sapphire crystal cases (clear and "Water Blue"). A couple are time-only, but complications include chronographs, of course, as well as two models with cathedral minute repeaters. All feature a tourbillon.

Next is another set, of which only five will be available at USD 605,000 each. This one is for fans of the brand's sapphire crystal cases as well as its impressive Meca-10 movement and movement of the same name with its 10-day power reserve. Each model has a different colored case in either sapphire crystal or the brand's Saxem material. Presented as a standalone (separate from the set), there's also a 44mm Unico in Water Blue sapphire crystal (USD 138,000) limited to 50 examples.

Finally, four new variants introduce two new ceramic colors called Mint Green and Petrol Blue. Each new color comes as a 42mm Unico (USD 24,100) or a 33mm One Click with 36 diamonds on its bezel (USD 17,500). They're joined by five more femininely oriented 33mm models call One Click Joyful in steel cases with different colored precious stones on their bezels and rubber straps to match (USD 12,200).

Is your mind Hu-blown? At this point, Hublot might be a victim of its own audacity and success, as almost nothing it does can shock watch fans anymore. But its influence and achievements deserve recognition, and these new watches are as worthy of a closer look as any impressive Hublot model.
