Once again, Hublot mesmerizes the world of luxury timepieces with its tribute to the Chinese lunisolar calendar. The Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Snake, a stunning limited edition of just 88 pieces, celebrates the snake—a symbol of wisdom, transformation, and charm—through an exquisite blend of artistry and innovation.
Since 2016, Hublot has honored the Chinese zodiac with breathtaking creations that blend symbolism with cutting-edge horology. This year’s masterpiece features a lifelike golden serpent that coils gracefully across the watch’s dial, case, and strap. Crafted with astonishing precision using advanced laser technology, the snake’s intricate scales and textures elevate the timepiece to a work of art.
The Spirit of Big Bang’s open-worked dial offers a captivating view of its mechanical heart while showcasing the gilded serpent. Designed to appear as if it’s slithering through the chronograph’s three counters, the snake’s three-dimensional presence is both dynamic and elegant, inviting admiration from every angle.
Encased in a barrel-shaped black ceramic case, the watch features Hublot’s patented One-Click strap-changing mechanism, ensuring effortless versatility. The bezel and strap echo the serpent motif, with engraved snake scales extending seamlessly across the design. The strap, crafted from a single piece of rubber, boasts a velvety shimmer achieved through innovative embossing techniques.
At its core, the watch houses the Hublot automatic skeleton chronograph calibre HUB4700, a modernized descendant of the iconic El Primero movement. This historic high-frequency chronograph, reimagined with advancements like a silicon escape wheel, is visible through both the open dial and sapphire display case back.
Available at Hublot boutiques worldwide, the Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Snake is a rare gem that embodies the transformative beauty of time, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
