Introducing the Hublot Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminio

Let’s go to another Pitch Watch

Hublot has just launched a new model, the Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminio, which results from the collaboration of more than 5 years with the centenary brand Berluti. This is a limited edition of 100 pieces that stands out for the Venezia leather inserts on the dial and the bezel inserted in a titanium case.

The new Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminio is presented in a 44 mm diameter case, with a titanium bezel and a 1 mm thick leather insert bezel, both fixed to the case by 6 screws. The dial is also based on a leather layer held between two sapphire glass layers, and aluminum. The leather layer features imprinted in relief hour indices with center opening and satin-finished rhodium hands.

Inside it operates the MHUB1280 automatic movement which can be observed through the open case back, which features a flyback chronograph with a column wheel, tungsten oscillating wheel and offers up to 72 hours of power reserve.

Introducing the Hublot Big Bang Unico Summer

Ricardo Amaral HUBLOT, NEW RELEASES 0

Hublot is an innovative brand that distinguishes itself from the others for the use of different materials and different colors in its creations and today presents us its latest creation for the summer, the Big Bang Unico Summer Perfect Memories of Summer.

This Big Bang, unlike other models, does not come with the traditional ceramic case but rather with a turquoise anodized aluminum case, which extends throughout the watch, including the bezel, crown, chronograph pump pushers, and the two straps that come with the watch, one in fabric with Velcro and one in rubber. The watch presents itself as a unisex model due to its dimensions, lightness, and scratch resistance conferred by the watch’s aluminum material.

The watch comes in a case size of 42 mm in diameter by 14.5 mm thick, skeletonized dial with a turquoise 60 minutes counter and a date aperture at 3 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock. The accents on the dial are white, as the lume that fills the hands and hour indexes. The turquoise tone of the aluminum case is balanced by the gray movement elements that can be seen through the dial, namely the column-wheel chronograph, the remaining elements can be seen through the open case back made in titanium.

Inside operates the Unico 2 automatic movement, Caliber HUB1280, composed of 354 parts, with 28,800 Vph and offering up to 70 hours of power reserve.

As mentioned above the watch is offered with a turquoise fabric strap with velcro and white stitched and a turquoise rubber strap in the shape of longitudinal stripes, both straps come with anodized aluminum turquoise hardware and the patented interchangeable “One Click ” attachment system.

The Big Bang Unico Summer is a limited edition of 200 pieces and will initially only be available at the brand’s online store and in the Mediterranean boutiques in Capri, Forte dei Marmi, Mykonos, Ibiza, Bodrum, Saint-Tropez, and Monaco, for the price of €20,700.

Initial Thoughts

The pastel tones of the new Hublot Big Bang Unico Summer are the perfect interpretation of summer, its turquoise blue/green combined with white accents is very well done, and even for those who like more discreet classic pieces, will not mind using this turquoise Hublot during the bathing season, because it’s a piece that will shine in tanned bodies and vividly colored summer outfits.

The Watches of the Captains of the Euro 2020 Teams

MRSTATELESS AUDEMARS PIGUET, BREGUET, HUBLOT, IWC, PATEK PHILIPPE, ROLEX Euro2020, MULLER, RICHARD MILLE 0

The Euro 2020 is there and we decided to check out the watches of the team captains of the main teams that are natural candidates to win the trophy. We also decided to spice up the article and make our own Euro 2020 championship based on the watch choices of these stars and assign the podium according to our preferences, but let’s get down to business.

We start with Germany captain Manuel Neuer, although unlike most other captains he doesn’t have a vast collection of watches (at least he doesn’t show it) he is usually seen wearing an admirable Rolex Daytona Ref. 116500LN, released model in 2016 and that comes with a ceramic bezel.

We are now going to Belgium through its captain Eden Hazard, who seems to be a great fan of watches, one of his latest additions to the collection was a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116588TBR, introduced in 2019 and which remained known as the “Eye of the Tiger”, which comes in a yellow gold case with a bezel set with 37 trapeze diamonds and many more can be found on the yellow gold dial, with a price of over € 100,000. Other watches such as a Richard Mille RM 016 and some Hublot’s are often seen on this player’s wrist.

Hugo Lloris, France captain, is not often seen on social media wearing many watches, however, we managed to catch him in a photo montage for IWC and French football federation, using a Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition “Rodeo Drive”, whose reference is IW503001, is a watch that comes in a ceramic and titanium case, with a blue dial and costs around € 32,700.

Dutch national team captain Georginio Wijnaldum, seems to be a Patek Philippe fan, as he was seen wearing at least two Nautilus models, one in rose gold entirely paved with diamonds snow-set on the case, bezel, dial, and bracelet, unfortunately, we couldn’t get the reference of the model in question, the other much more discreet model is the Nautilus 5980/1R in rose gold with black dial it’s a chronograph with a date whose price is € 86,470. We also found the Netherlands captain wearing a white Richard Mille Bubba Watson RM 055.

Like Georginio Wijnaldum, Harry Kane the England captain seems to share the same taste for watches, namely by Patek Philippe Nautilus as he was seen wearing exactly the same 5980/1R in rose gold, the captain of the British team seems to be an admirer of Gérald Genta’s style as he was also seen wearing an Audemars Piguet (AP) Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ref. 15407ST.OO.1220ST.01 priced at CHF 53,300, besides these two watches we also found some Hublot models wearing on his wrist.

The Italy captain Giorgio Chiellini seems to be fond of Gérald Genta’s design as he is often seen wearing both a Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711, as well as an AP Royal Oak Offshore, but this player, seems to have a refined taste for watches, having also been seen using some Rolex models, namely a Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116509 in white gold and a black dial as also a Rolex GMT Master II with a “Pepsi” dial.

Lastly, Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the Portuguese national team, the watches alongside the sports cars seem to be one of Cristiano’s passions, recently a report in a Portuguese sports newspaper evaluates his watch collection at over 6 million Euros and how the collection is vast we decided to choose just a few, among them two Rolex’s, a GMT Master in yellow gold and a Chronograph Daytona valued at around € 90,000 and € 35,000 respectively, among the most expensive in their collection are a Hublot MP-09 valued at around 2 million Euros, a Muller Cintrée Curvex Tourbillon valued at over 1 million Euros and a Breguet Classique 5349 valued at around 675,000 Euros.

Unfortunately, we had to leave out Sergio Busquets captain of the Spanish team as we couldn’t find the player wearing some iconic piece that would justify being among the selected.

After analyzing the watches of each of the captains we made our choices and here it should be noted that the criteria used were solely and exclusively our opinion according to our tastes, with no factors such as price or value being included.

So we chose in third place captain Manuel Neuer from Germany, who proves that it is not necessary to have a long collection of watches, sometimes a single iconic piece is enough and his Rolex Daytona is proof of that. For a second place, we elected Harry Kane captain of the British team, which has in its collection iconic models such as the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, but also some less consensual watches from the Hublot brand. We reserved the gold of our podium for Italian captain Giorgio Chiellini, who seems to be a true watch aficionado, whose collection seems to have a refined taste, as it includes some models designed by the iconic Gérald Genta, such as the Patek Philippe Nautilus and AP Royal Oak, but also with iconic Rolex models, namely a Cosmograph Daytona and a GMT Master II.

A disclaimer, at this time, that it goes live, from our podium only the German team is already out, so we keep the expectation that our podium can be partially confirmed on the field according to our choices.

The new Hublot Big Bang UNICO SORAI embraces the noble cause of helping save rhinos

Ricardo Amaral HUBLOT, NEW RELEASES Sorai 0

Because we are for causes that make a difference we cannot fail to praise once again the actions that some brands embrace in a noble way. Today we speak of the cause embraced by Hublot since 2019 in helping to preserve the rhino, one of the many species threatened with extinction due to the shameful action of poachers who kill and mutilate solely to extract the ivory from the rhino’s horn.

Sorai founded in 2001 in South Africa by Petronel Nieuwoudt, today constitutes the largest orphanage and sanctuary in the world that aims to protect endangered species including rhinos, many of the babies and young whose parents were killed at the hands of poachers would have a chance minimum survival rate alone and this is where Sorai comes into action giving them assistance, health care, food and protecting them through advanced surveillance means.

Sorai lives mainly on donations, its online store that sells some garments and contributions they receive from the sale of products created exclusively by some of its partners, such as Hublot, which in 2019 decided to embrace the cause, launching the Big Bang Unico Sorai model as a limited edition of 100 pieces in a 45 mm ceramic box in sandy tones of the sumptuous African bush with a white rhinoceros as a background in the small seconds positioned at 9 o’clock on the skeletonized dial.

Hublot has just launched a new edition of Big Bang Unico Sorai also as a limited edition of 100 pieces, but this one in green tones of the rich green landscape of South Africa in the summer, which, moreover, presents the same configuration as the previous edition of 2019, namely the small-seconds with the rhino but this one in black tones and also comes with two straps, one green in fabric and another in rubber camo.

The watch is powered by the in-house automatic movement HUB1242 which offers up to 72 hours of power reserve and comes with a chronograph function. The movement can be observed in addition to the skeletonized dial also through the sapphire glass of the case back that is engraved with the signature “SORAI” and with individual numbering.

The watch is on sale exclusively at the Hublot online store for € 23,800. For those who want to buy a nice chronograph that combines a beautiful cause, this could be the right watch.
