CARPE DIEM!
For the release of the 15th album by the famous British band, the watchmaker from Nyon unveils a limited edition of 100 watches featuring the main theme of the album.
Memento Mori is a Latin phrase that can be translated as “remember you must die”. It is also an object of piety representing a human skull intended to encourage mediation about death. It is also the title of the latest album with melancholic overtones by Depeche Mode, unveiled in 2023. Hublot and the band have worked together for around 10 years. They joined forces to raise funds to support various charitable organizations. As a continuation of this partnership, the brand presented a new limited series, the Spirit of Big Bang Depeche Mode. This model has a monochrome design with a 42 mm-diameter case machined from microblasted and polished black ceramic. The dial of the same color features an applied skull and crossbones and a metal hourglass through which small beads flow according to the movement of the wrist. The tonneau-shaped case is enhanced with a bezel with pyramid-shaped studs. This motif adorns the rubber bracelet fastened with a folding clasp, giving the watch a resolutely rock look.
To keep in time with the beat, the hour and minute hands are orchestrated by the HUB1710 caliber, which is assembled with 166 components. This selfwinding movement ensures a power reserve of 50 hours. Each copy comes in a special box containing an exclusive vinyl single of the song Wagging Tongue, produced using green energy from recycled PVC. Definitely a collector!
