Hublot’s iconic Unico collection embodies the brand’s Art of Fusion philosophy — seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with traditional watchmaking craftsmanship. At the heart of the collection lies the in-house developed and manufactured Unico movement, a testament to Hublot’s technical prowess. This self-winding chronograph movement boasts a column wheel mechanism and a flyback function, allowing precise and instantaneous timing.
With a 72-hour power reserve and a frequency of 4Hz, the Unico movement ensures exceptional performance. The movement is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, revealing 330 components including the distinctive red column wheel and the oscillating weight adorned with Hublot’s logo. The Big Bang Unico Pink Sapphire features a mesmerising pink sapphire case, achieved through the addition of titanium and chromium to the sapphire crystal, resulting in a unique and eye-catching hue.
The skeletonised dial allows a view of the Unico movement’s inner workings. The Big Bang MP-11 Water Blue Sapphire showcases Hublot’s mastery of sapphire crystal with a stunning translucent blue case revealing the intricacies of a 14-day power reserve movement — achieved using seven series-coupled barrels. The sapphire case is crafted from a single block of sapphire crystal, requiring over 100 hours of machining and polishing to achieve its flawless finish.
The Big Bang Unico Dark Green Ceramic presents a sleek option with a rich green ceramic case crafted through a high-tech sintering process, ensuring exceptional durability and scratch resistance. The Square Bang Unico Magic Gold introduces a new case shape, combining Hublot’s proprietary Magic Gold alloy — an 18-carat gold with a hardness of almost 1,000 Vickers, significantly more scratch-resistant than traditional gold — with a modern square design. The Unico collection continues to captivate watch enthusiasts worldwide, solidifying Hublot’s position as a leader in luxury horology.
