Hublot’s Big Bang Evolution: New Releases Shine at LVMH Watch Week
LVMH Watch Week never fails to deliver dazzling displays of innovation and craftsmanship from the world’s top luxury watchmakers. This year, Hublot took center stage with a series of bold and striking releases that pushed the boundaries of modern watch design. The Swiss watchmaker unveiled fresh takes on its iconic Big Bang line, showcasing a revamped MECA-10, a trio of Spirit of Big Bang timepieces, and the stunning Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green—each more exciting than the last.
The MECA-10 Reimagined
Hublot’s Big Bang MECA-10 made waves when it debuted in 2016, breaking away from conventional watchmaking norms with its innovative dial-free design. This year, the MECA-10 returns with a new compact 42mm case and even more intricate detailing, reaffirming its status as a masterpiece of micromechanical engineering.
The new iteration features a manual-winding skeleton movement, prominently displayed through its openwork design, allowing wearers to marvel at the intricacies of its mechanisms. The movement boasts an impressive 10-day power reserve, enabled by two mainspring barrels connected by a linear and circular gear rack system. This unique setup doesn’t just power the watch but also visually highlights the energy stored within—an artistic and technical triumph.
Available in King Gold, Titanium, or Carbon Black, the MECA-10 starts at $23,000, making it a standout piece for collectors who appreciate the fusion of artistry and cutting-edge technology. According to Hublot, this watch is a “modern interpretation of the mechanical watch movement,” and it sets the bar high for the future of horology.
A Green Revolution: Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic
Among the showstoppers at this year’s event was the Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green. Crafted in a luminous, emerald-green SAXEM case, this timepiece embodies Hublot’s commitment to pushing the limits of material innovation. SAXEM (Sapphire Aluminium Oxide and rare Earth Mineral) is a groundbreaking material known for its transparency and vibrant color, offering the appearance of sapphire but with even greater brilliance.
Limited to just 18 pieces, the Tourbillon Automatic Green is both a technical and visual marvel. Its open dial reveals the inner workings of the tourbillon mechanism, a hallmark of precision engineering, while the bold green case ensures it’s an attention-grabber on any wrist. This exclusive watch represents a harmonious blend of futuristic design and traditional watchmaking, showcasing Hublot’s unique ability to balance innovation with heritage.
Spirit of Big Bang: A Fresh Trio
For fans of the Spirit of Big Bang collection, this year’s additions bring a refreshing twist to a beloved design. The Spirit of Big Bang chronographs retain their signature silhouette but now come in three new colorways inspired by shades previously exclusive to the Big Bang collection. The updated tones add a playful yet sophisticated touch, giving the classic design a contemporary edge.
As with previous iterations, these chronographs combine a sporty aesthetic with luxurious detailing, appealing to collectors who value versatility and performance. Each piece is meticulously crafted to maintain Hublot’s high standards, with striking color combinations that make them stand out in any collection.
The Legacy of Big Bang
Since its introduction in 2005, the Big Bang line has redefined modern luxury watches with its bold designs and innovative use of materials. Hublot’s focus on “The Art of Fusion” has consistently blended unexpected elements, from carbon fiber to ceramics, resulting in timepieces that are as durable as they are stylish. This year’s releases continue that tradition, offering something for every kind of collector, whether they’re drawn to technical innovation, vibrant aesthetics, or the allure of exclusivity.
The MECA-10, Spirit of Big Bang, and Tourbillon Automatic Green are not just watches—they are statements of intent from Hublot. Each piece represents the brand’s dedication to challenging conventions and expanding the possibilities of what a luxury watch can be.
Innovation Meets Tradition
One of the most compelling aspects of Hublot’s 2025 lineup is its ability to balance cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship. The MECA-10’s intricate movement is a testament to the brand’s technical prowess, while the use of SAXEM in the Tourbillon Automatic Green demonstrates a commitment to material innovation. Meanwhile, the Spirit of Big Bang trio offers a contemporary take on a classic design, proving that Hublot can evolve its heritage while staying true to its roots.
Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe summed up the brand’s vision perfectly: “At Hublot, we strive to push boundaries and reimagine what is possible in watchmaking. This year’s releases showcase our relentless pursuit of innovation while honoring the craftsmanship that defines our brand.”
