The story behind this Hublot Big Bang e
The House of Hublot is taking a bold step forward by combining high digital technology with its founding concept of material fusion. Born in the wake of the Big Bang Referee commissioned to equip referees for the 2018 Football World Cup, the Hublot Big Bang e watch reference 440.NX.1100.RX sees the light of day in 2020 to bring this unique expertise to the wrists of enthusiasts. Hublot is not content to simply offer a connected tool, but is transforming the digital dial into a veritable interactive virtual canvas. For its official launch, the brand is collaborating with artist Marc Ferrero to ensure that the screen displays exclusive works of art that change every 3 hours. This innovative approach firmly anchors the model in the world of contemporary luxury, combining the prestigious traditional craftsmanship of the Swiss case with cutting-edge software engineering. It embodies the manufacture's modern vision of the timepiece.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this Big Bang e
The 42 mm diameter grade 5 titanium case features the collection's famous complex sandwich architecture. The outer surfaces alternate between meticulous brushing and mirror-polished edges highlighting its racy, angular geometry. The raised bezel, held in place by 6 distinctive screws, frames a flat sapphire crystal with absolute anti-reflective treatment. Beneath this mineral protection lies an AMOLED touchscreen offering deep blacks and a resolution of 390 by 390 pixels. The mechanical movement is replaced here by a powerful Hublot electronic calibre powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor, and the whole thing is powered by a battery that guarantees around 1 day of digital power reserve, depending on use. The rotating crown serves as the main control for smoothly navigating the menus. The watch is water-resistant to a depth of 30 metres. The watch is mounted on a structured black rubber strap for optimum comfort. The latter incorporates the patented system allowing rapid change without tools and closes with a robust folding clasp combining titanium and black ceramic.
