A RED DOT AWARD FOR A KING GOLD ICON

Hublot’s Big Bang 20th Anniversary King Gold Ceramic wins Red Dot Award for Product Design.

 

7 July 2026, Essen, Germany – Hublot is proud to announce that the Big Bang 20th Anniversary King Gold Ceramic has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design, recognizing its outstanding design, technical mastery and innovation in materials and watchmaking.

 

Selected by an international jury of design experts, the timepiece stands out for its bold aesthetic and integrated chronograph architecture of Hublot’s in-house Unico movement. A mastery where performance and design are built as one.

“Design at Hublot starts with a mindset: challenge, refine, reinvent. The Big Bang 20th Anniversary King Gold Ceramic reflects two decades of that discipline, where every material, every line, every movement serves a purpose. This recognition belongs to the teams pushing that vision forward and to a collection that continues to evolve without ever losing its identity. It also marks a new step as we move into the next chapter of the Big Bang Original Unico: more integrated, more architectural, more essential. The signature of one of the Iconic collections of the 21st century.”

In 2005, Hublot did more than launch a new watch design, it shook the industry with a bang. In 1980, Hublot made gold and rubber collide. In 2005, the Big Bang reignited that revolution, turning material fusion into modern alchemy. What began as a fusion became a formula. What began as a design became an icon. Twenty years later, in 2025, the Big Bang was celebrated through its 20th anniversary. The Big Bang 20th Anniversary King Gold Ceramic is part of this milestone chapter, reinterpreting the original Big Bang codes through a fusion of past and present; combining early design DNA with the contemporary Big Bang Unico architecture. Crafted in Hublot’s exclusive King Gold, a warmer, richer alloy with enhanced platinum content, it embodies the Manufacture’s unique expertise in material innovation.

 

Beyond the award, this distinction recognizes a journey and confirms the Big Bang as a true icon, shaped by twenty years of innovation, risk and reinvention. An anniversary, never an end. In 2026, the Big Bang enters its next chapter with the Big Bang Original and the Big Bang Reloaded. The Big Bang evolve without ever losing its identity.

 

A Red Dot. A Big Bang moment.
