October 8th, 2024 – Nyon, Switzerland – Hublot, the Swiss luxury watchmaker renowned for its mastery of the "Art of Fusion," proudly unveils the Big Bang Unico Left Handed White Ceramic, the first of its kind. A remarkable addition to the Big Bang collection, this limited-edition timepiece represents a bold departure from traditional design, featuring a left-sided crown and pushers, set within a striking matte white ceramic case with a contrasting red ceramic bezel.

 

Since introducing the first fully in-house UNICO chronograph movement in 2010, Hublot has set an unassailable standard in professional watchmaking. The Big Bang Unico Left Handed White Ceramic is a testament to this legacy, combining the brand's technical prowess with avant-garde aesthetics. The watch’s open worked dial reveals a reimagined movement layout, showcasing the intricate complexity of the mechanics within. Equipped with a flyback chronograph function and a 72-hour power reserve, this model represents one of the most innovative expressions of the UNICO movement to date, underscoring Hublot’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of horological craftsmanship.

 

The name "UNICO" embodies Hublot's core values of being "First, Unique and Different." This spirit is reflected in the carefully designed layout of the Big Bang Unico Left Handed White Ceramic, where every detail, from the front-facing operational mechanisms to the transparent case back, is crafted with precision. The signature column wheel is prominently positioned at 12 o'clock, while the 60-minute counter and date window reside at 9 o'clock. The dual oscillating clutch and blue silicon escapement, nestled between 1 and 2 o'clock, are clear indicators of the thoughtful engineering behind this movement.

The UNICO movement, known for its reliability and avant-garde design, has become the cornerstone of Hublot's professional watchmaking. It has been featured in both the Big Bang Unico and Square Bang Unico collections, and now, for the first time, it powers a left crown chronograph. This watch not only redefines traditional chronograph design but also sets new standards for performance, making it a must-have for collectors.

 

Complementing its robust performance, the Big Bang Unico Left Handed White Ceramic features a meticulously crafted bezel. The high-quality matte white ceramic case is paired with a matte red ceramic bezel, with the bezel's side ring polished in red ceramic. This multi-layered design adds a sense of harmony and sophistication to the front view, while the polished red ceramic side ring brings a touch of brilliance with every gesture. This predominantly white timepiece, with its innovative design, presents an eye-catching futuristic style, yet beneath its striking appearance lies fine craftsmanship—subtle, yet elegant, perfectly aligned with the spirit of dynamic sports.

 

The 42mm patented high-tech ceramic case, titanium pushers, and protective white rubber lugs are seamlessly integrated, offering durability and a practical design ethos. With a three-day power reserve and a certified 100-meter water resistance, this timepiece is as much a companion in the natural environment as it is during weekend leisure activities with family and friends.
