Explore Hublot

A gold case on a rubber strap still feels like a deliberate clash, and that contrast is central to Hublot. Founded in Switzerland in 1980 by Carlo Crocco, the brand took its name from the French word for “porthole.” You can see the reference in the broad bezel and exposed screws. Rubber wasn’t simply a sporty accessory; paired with gold, it established a design vocabulary that Hublot has kept exploring.

The Big Bang, introduced in 2005, made that vocabulary louder: layered cases, assertive proportions, and combinations of ceramic, titanium, carbon fiber, and precious metals. The Big Bang Unico adds mechanical interest to the mix, with an openworked dial revealing the column wheel of its in-house flyback chronograph movement.

For a quieter expression, the Classic Fusion pares back the architecture while retaining the bezel screws and integrated-looking strap. The barrel-shaped Spirit of Big Bang takes another route, carrying the brand’s layered construction into a case whose curved profile changes its presence on the wrist.
