Hublot’s Remarkable Trio
Following his incredible 2018 Spring/Summer show in London, he began to get offers to partner and collaborate with brands like Converse, Nike, Dr. Martens and Oakley. He was awarded the Hublot Design Prize in 2019 and, in the following year, was invited to be a brand ambassador for the watchmaker.
Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Samuel Ross
This year, Hublot introduces a new Big Bang Tourbillon watch designed in collaboration with Ross. The timepiece brings Ross’s experience and artistic perspective and Hublot’s ability to combine unexpected materials together in a watch of polished titanium and smooth orange rubber. It draws inspiration from the mix of steel and granite materials in the 40cm REFORM sculpture, which was created as a tribute to 40 years of Hublot.
The watch is limited to only 50 pieces and is presented in a display box that is just as exciting as the timepiece. As part of the launch, Hublot’s Fifth Avenue boutique in New York City received a takeover in Samuel Ross’s signature colors and textures.

Hublot Classic Fusion 45mm Bronze Brown
Hublot created their new Classic Fusion 45mm Bronze Brown as a celebration of intrepid lifestyles. It is a timepiece meant to honor those that choose adventure and pursue their dreams. The watch was launched in partnership with three well-known individuals who are living life to the fullest potential.
The limited edition timepiece features a 45mm case of hand brushed pre-patinated bronze with a brushed bronze bezel decorated with the iconic Hublot signature six H-shaped screws of 3N gold. The dial is classically minimal in a beautiful sunray brown with striking 3N gold- plated applique and elegant polished 3N gold-plated hands. A rectangular date window in black and white sits at the three o’clock index.
The Classic Fusion 45mm Bronze Brown is powered by the robust 4Hz Hublot HUB1112 self-winding movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Pairing the watch with a gorgeous alligator leather strap in a coordinating brown with lighter brown stitching adds just another layer of texture to the overall look.

Hublot Big Bang Unico Essential Grey
The launch of the Big Bang Unico Essential Grey is remarkable for two reasons: this watch is only available online via Hublot’s global e-commerce shop and clients will be able to shop using select cryptocurrencies with BitPay. Hublot’s CEO, Ricardo Guadalupe, said, “For the first time in the history of Hublot, we have imagined and designed the Big Bang Unico Essential Grey limited edition solely to be sold online. In doing so, we wanted to emphasize how important e-commerce has become in our thinking. All our fans, collectors and potential clients now have an equal chance to obtain this magnificent and rare new model.”
At three o’clock rests the 60-minute chronograph counter, and this is visually balanced by the skeletonized running seconds subdial at nine o’clock. The multi-level design creates depth with the thoughtful layers and delivers a mesmerizing timepiece that blurs function into art.
