HUBLOT UNVEILS THE SPIRIT OF BIG BANG TEXAS: A TRIBUTE TO TEXAN STYLE AND HERITAGE.

 

Dallas, TX / Houston, TX / Austin, TX, October 11th, 2024 - Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot is proud to announce the launch of the Spirit of Big Bang Texas, a limited-edition timepiece designed as a homage to the Lone Star State. Carefully crafted to honor Texas's rich history, culture, and identity, the Spirit of Big Bang Texas incorporates iconic Texan elements into its design. This special edition, limited to 30 pieces, marks the second official Hublot timepiece dedicated to Texas, solidifying the brand's connection to the American southwestern spirit that defines the state.

The Spirit of Big Bang Texas is housed in a 42mm tonneau-shaped case, in keeping with Hublot's precision engineering and the larger than life aesthetic of Texas. The satin-finished, micro-blasted, and polished 18K yellow gold bezel combined with black ceramic case and black rubber and stitched calfskin strap is a bold combination that captures the essence of Texas: a blend of tradition, practicality, and self-expression.

 

Featured on the dial is the Lone Star symbol, which serves as a reminder of Texas's independent spirit, legendary pride, and has over time come to symbolize the unique identity of Texas.

 

The black rubber and brown calfskin strap, adorned with Lone Star-centric stitching, reflects the rugged and unique nature of traditional Texas style — reminiscent of cowboy boots, leather belts, and the iconic codes of the Texas frontier. The buckle of the timepiece features an 18K Yellow Gold and Black-plated Titanium Deployant clasp, combining the luxurious sheen of gold with the rugged durability and lightness of titanium, offering both elegance and strength in its design.

 

At the heart of the Spirit of Big Bang Texas is the HUB4700 Self-winding Skeleton Chronograph movement, Hublot's in-house caliber, and a masterpiece of precision and craftsmanship. At just 6.60 mm thick and 30 mm in diameter, this movement is both compact and complex, consisting of 278 components. The skeletonized design showcases the intricate mechanics, allowing a clear view of the movement's engineering. With an approximately 50-hour power reserve, the HUB4700 ensures exceptional reliability for extended wear.

The Spirit of Big Bang Texas comes housed in a distinctive Hublot Green Box adorned with the Lone Star symbol, reinforcing the deep connection between the timepiece and Texas pride. The Green Box was developed with future sustainability in mind, and this eco-conscious packaging is part of Hublot's broader commitment to employing responsible practices. The box is crafted predominantly from traceable materials to ensure minimal environmental impact and shorter supply chains. This packaging complements the watch's craftsmanship and underscores Hublot's dedication to sustainability across its collections.

 

Hublot's limited-edition timepiece is available exclusively in Hublot's Dallas, Houston, and Austin Boutiques.
