Modern Alchemie: Hublot Unveils New Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic
Hublot has been at the forefront of colored ceramic development for a long time, standing among the few brands that independently produce ceramic in vibrant shades. Now, the Swiss brand unveils the Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic, limited to just 20 pieces, marking a milestone with its innovative use of multicolored ceramic. Pushing the boundaries of creative design and offering new dimensions in watchmaking, this "Magic Ceramic" is the result of years of research.
The production of multicolored ceramic requires a deep understanding of material properties and color stability. Different pigments react differently to heat, making it a challenge to achieve a flawless surface with consistent color quality. Hublot has overcome this obstacle with a patented process, ensuring impeccable results. Therefore, the Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic captivates with its dark gray bezel, with contrasting deep blue circles surrounded by a gradient. The oeuvre recalls a Pop Art piece. The seamless integration of these colors highlights the precision of Hublot’s innovative manufacturing process.
The reference 441.CIB.1171.RX boasts a 42mm diameter and a height of 14.5mm. Water-resistant to 100 meters, the case is made from black, sandblasted, and polished ceramic. At its heart ticks the Swiss luxury manufacture’s genuine HUB1280 caliber. Revealed via skeletonized dial is its column-wheel and other sophisticated elements, such as the date wheel. This self-winding chronograph movement offers a flyback function and a 72-hour power reserve.
The Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic is completed by a black rubber strap, equipped with a quick-change system, and secured with a folding clasp. Pricing is marked at $33,000.
