Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A by Samuel Ross
The latest collaboration between Hublot and British designer Samuel Ross introduces the Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A, a lightweight timepiece featuring carbon fiber elements and a bold aerodynamic design. As part of their ongoing partnerships with contemporary artists, Hublot has released this third model in the series, distinguished by its blue accents and innovative materials.
Aerodynamic Design and Lightweight Materials
With a case size of 44 x 13.75 mm, the Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A maintains the same dimensions as its predecessors while introducing significant changes in material and design. The case features a honeycomb pattern visible on the lugs and case sides, contributing to its futuristic aesthetic. The bezel base and case sides are crafted from matte carbon fiber, making the watch significantly lighter, while the remaining structural components are made of titanium with alternating satin and micro-blasted finishes.
Striking Blue Accents and Hexagonal Motifs
The addition of blue detailing enhances the timepiece's modern appeal. This colour is prominently featured on the crown and the openwork dial, which also showcases the signature hexagonal honeycomb motif. The dial highlights two key elements:
- The tourbillon cage positioned at 6 o’clock.
- The micro-rotor bearing the Hublot logo at 12 o’clock.
Together, these components create a balanced and visually captivating design.
Technical Excellence: Calibre HUB6035
At the heart of the watch lies the HUB6035 calibre, an automatic movement composed of 282 components. It offers a three-day power reserve, ensuring consistent performance. The mechanism reflects Hublot's dedication to precision engineering and avant-garde watchmaking.
Customisable Rubber Straps
The watch comes with two interchangeable rubber straps in black and blue, featuring a perforated honeycomb pattern that echoes the case design. Equipped with a titanium deployant clasp and a quick-release system, the straps can be easily swapped to suit the wearer’s preference.
Limited Edition Craftsmanship
This unique model is limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, underscoring its exclusivity. The estimated price of the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A is $143,000.
A Fusion of Innovation and Art
The Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A by Samuel Ross is a testament to the fusion of modern art and haute horlogerie. Its lightweight construction, intricate design, and cutting-edge mechanics make it a standout addition to the Hublot lineup, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
