Hublot Big Bang Sugar Skull Blue Cobalt

Hublot Big Bang Sugar Skull Blue Cobalt, is a black chronograph tinted in electric blue. The dial also shows a polished skull adorned with climbing plants. But unlike the previous model, the black disc reveals the self-winding movement, the HUB4214 calibre, which drives the hour functions (the hours and minutes at the centre of the dial and the seconds at 9 o’clock), the calendar function (the date at 4.30) and the chronograph (seconds at the centre and the minute counter at 3 o’clock). The whole mechanism is housed in a solid case measuring 44mm in diameter and 14.70mm thick, made of black micro-beaded ceramics.

The Hublot Big Bang replica watch have been made in 50 pieces, and have been designed in collaboration with AK, the ski brand founded by Aldo Kuonen in 1996, and later taken over by his children Francesca and Marco. AK is famous for its sturdy skis made in limited quantities, and manufactured in layers of wood, rubber, steel, fibre glass and carbon.

Hublot Big Bang Sugar Skull Hot Pink

Hublot has continued the collaboration begun in 2015 with the Bischoff workshops, which led to the Hublot Big Bang Broderie replica, to design the new Big Bang Sugar Skull Hot Pink, a piece adorned in black and bright pink.

Its carbon fibre dial features a calavera – a skull symbolising the Mexican día de los muertos – made from organza, an embroidered pink muslin silk material, and decorated with floral arabesques with curls reaching a bezel engraved in counter-relief. At the centre of this delicate canvas are two large openwork hands displaying the hours and the minutes, and making their way around twelve markers set with black diamonds.

The case is made of polished ceramics with a diameter of 41mm and features the famous composite resin ears. It houses the automatic HUB1100 calibre, providing a power reserve of 42 hours.
