BIG BANG UNICO ICE BANG

For its new online exclusive, the Manufacture releases a unique piece: an "Ice Bang" equipped with the Unico movement! With the Big Bang Unico Ice Bang, Hublot has taken a radical stance while remaining faithful to the powerful aesthetic of the original model released in 2006, creating a sophisticated watch with a stunning array of high-tech materials and features which make it a must-have piece... Limited to 100 pieces, this model will be available exclusively on hublot.com e-commerce boutique.

Long-standing fans will love the strong lines of this Big Bang Unico Ice Bang 2024 version, which are so reminiscent of the original model. But it is on closer inspection that the difference can be fully appreciated: this is truly a new vintage!

This timepiece is a marvellous miniature masterpiece, orchestrated so that its numerals and mechanics are superimposed and combined, blending together into a harmonious two-tone creation which can be admired through the sapphire crystal with its anti-reflective coating. The matt black dial reveals the column wheel of the HUB1280 Manufacture calibre, a self-winding flyback chronograph movement with a 72-hour power reserve. The calendar disc pirouettes beneath the hour indices in a ballet against the beat, with the date shown at 3 o'clock in the seconds counter.

The case is made of black micro-blasted and polished ceramic. Lightweight, hypoallergenic and stainless, the ceramic offers unrivalled comfort. The bezel in satin-finished and polished tungsten contrasts with the black ceramic. True to its innovative spirit and in tune with the "Art of Fusion", Hublot continues to reinterpret its watchmaking art in a fusion of different materials.

With a 42-mm-diameter and 14.5-mm-thick case middle, the Big Bang Unico Ice Bang is a unisex watch that adapts to the wearer's use and style. This Ice Bang 2024 comes with two interchangeable straps featuring Hublot's patented One Click system: the first strap is designed in Velcro mesh with a black ceramic buckle for a more sporty look, with the second strap featuring a more classic Hublot aesthetic thanks to its striated black rubber and a black titanium folding clasp.

This much-sought-after Limited Edition is a jewel of innovation sparkling with high-tech materials. This watch is a true work of art that will captivate new and long-standing fans alike.

“The very first Ice Bang was launched a year after the phenomenal success of the Big Bang, as Hublot realised its vision to integrate new materials in an extreme design on a whole new level. It is this dynamism that continues to propel us into the future, smashing through any barriers we might encounter. We are also applying this principle by bridging any distance: we're delighted to be able to offer online access to this limited series to everyone – collectors and non-collectors alike – so now you are just a few clicks away from an experience like no other!”
