EXERCISE IN STYLE
In 2020, the manufacture and the British all-rounder began a successful partnership with a disruptive-spirited piece. The adventure continues with this new limited edition.
“I am creating an environment that is reflective of me, and to do that you need to look at everything from clothes and sneakers to fragrance and furniture”. Designer Samuel Ross’s inspiration is eclectic. Just like his creations. And, life was breathed into one of these in the shape of his first opus stemming from his partnership with Hublot. In a nutshell, the stylistic codes of the iconic Big Bang were totally revamped. The second chapter unveiled as this year comes to an end pursues this same route. The Big Bang Tourbillon SR_A by Samuel Ross takes on the same 44 mm-diameter titanium case. But, this time round, it’s given a shiny microblasted finish. The industrial-looking design now reigns in a monochrome scenescape. On the dial that still flaunts a honeycomb mesh, we can see the tourbillon at 6 o’clock and the micro-rotor at 12, set on a vertical axis of symmetry. The regulating device’s bridges in this model keep the tone pace as they’re dressed in gray. The hour and minute hands, as well as the indexes, in this stunning scenography stand out with their luminous coating.
Each watch in this 50-piece limited edition is driven by the HUB6035 caliber assembled using some 264 components. This selfwinding movement delivers a generous power reserve of 3 days, aka 72 hours. This autonomy gives the wearer plenty of time to enjoy swapping the three rubber straps included. A vivid green alternative, offered on top of the black and white ones, will definitely boost any style.
