Introducing the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Samuel Ross
The Low-Down
Samuel Ross won the Hublot Design Prize in 2019 and has been an ambassador since 2020. A fashion designer, artist and creative director, he’s worked with Off-White, Nike, Oakley and founded his own label A-COLD-WALL*. The talented 30-year-old has a skill set that makes him uniquely well-suited to a collaborative partnership with Hublot. In 2020 he unveiled REFORM, a sculpture inspired by Hublot and the Art of Fusion. REFORM was a fusion of granite and steel; an industrially finished artwork that serves as the basis for this 44mm Big Bang.
IMHO
Hublot has always been something of a polarising brand, and this watch is no different. However, this is a feature rather than a bug, so to speak. Hublot’s genius in providing a platform for talented creators outside of the traditional watch space allows the brand to rapidly and authentically evolve its design language at a pace that far outstrips other brands, even those who operate in a similar space. The future of watch design is here, and it is being spearheaded by people like Samuel Ross, who aren’t watch designers.
