Hublot is a brand that is known for its innovative designs, using a combination of unusual materials and advanced technology to create timepieces that are both visually stunning and highly functional. The "Big Bang" series, first introduced in 2005, has since then become a signature of the brand, featuring bold and modern designs that incorporate materials like ceramic, gold, titanium, and carbon fiber and is available in a wide variety of colors and configurations.
The watch present here is the Big Bang MP-11 ref. 911.QD.0123.RX, which features a unique 3D carbon case that is not only highly durable and lightweight but also creates a striking visual impact. Carbon is a material usually popular in racing because it has an optimal relationship between weight and resistance, and is able to withstand great levels of torsion. Measuring at 45mm, the sturdy carbon case and bezel protect the main character of the watch - the movement. The watch is powered by Hublot's in-house calibre HUB9011 that is water resistant up to 30m and boasts an astounding power reserve of 336 hours, or 14 days. To achieve this, Hublot engineers and watchmakers have developed an original design movement that incorporates seven barrels paired in series, allowing for the transmission of energy between the movement's horizontal axis barrels and the vertical wheel which drives the hour and minute displays. Through a skeletonized dial, the intricate and meticulous craftsmanship is on full display. Sealed with Hublot's classic 6 "H" headed titanium screws screwed in randomly, the watch has an iconic look to it. The watch is completed with a black rubber strap, however thanks to Hublot's easy strap-changing system, you can interchange between countless straps to help suit the character and personality of the wearer. A watch that is sure to impress, Hublot has successfully crafted a watch that combines exceptional craftsmanship, technical expertise, and cutting-edge materials.
