The presentation of the Hublot Big Bang Collection 2022 during LVMH Watch Week was like a box of chocolates – there's something for everyone.
After an obligatory pit stop in 2020, the racing machines of haute horlogerie are running again – and Hublot is no exception, unveiling a range of new models that would have been nice to get lost among. Here are our three favourites.
Hublot Big Bang Integral Time Only – the threshold of the Forties.
Over the years, we've seen big – sometimes exaggerated – timepieces, but the modern twenties have shown a reversal of that trend, and Hublot – which has always belonged to the “big is beautiful” team – has today unveiled the Big Bang Integral Time Only line in a brand-new 40mm version, only 9.25mm thick, available with titanium, yellow gold, and an all-black ceramic case and bracelet.
It is an exquisite exercise in style that brings the watch back to its essential function – hours, minutes, seconds, completed by the date – with the minimalism of a powerful and evocative style defining a technical and perfectly legible dial. This is a Hublot “concentrate,” powered by the automatic manufacture calibre MHUB1710 with 50 hours of power reserve.
This is a Hublot with a smaller size, more compact, and at ease, even on the thinnest wrists. It allows everyone to enter the magic of the Hublot Big Bang Collection 2022.

Hublot Big Bang Unico Sang Bleu II, innovative geometries for a wearable tattoo.
This new release of the iconic Sang Bleu manifests the relationship between Hublot and master tattooist Maxime Plescia-Büchi, a collaboration that has been going strong since 2016 and is part of the Hublot Big Bang Collection 2022. Once again, the artist has intervened on the unique materials offered by the Maison, adorning them with his linear geometric designs reminiscent of magical seals coming out of an alternate reality.
The bold, angular lines of the designs are echoed in the shapes of the 45mm cases that, like tortoise shells made out of metal and ceramic, protect the automatic manufacture calibre HUB1240.MXM, which offers column-wheel flyback chronograph functions and a 72-hour power reserve.
The Sang Bleu II line features three models, the Black Magic, in black ceramic, and two limited edition models, the Magic Gold, a scratch-resistant gold case with an antiqued effect available in 100 pieces, and the Green Ceramic, available in 200 pieces.

Big Bang Unico Golf Orange Carbon, from the green to the wrist
Hublot has always had a passion for golf, so they thought of their ambassador Dustin Johnson and created for him – and all golfers with a love for mechanical watchmaking – a unique timepiece of a kind that has never been made before..
The Big Bang Unico Golf Orange Carbon is fitted with a modified Hublot MHUB1580 movement, which uses a combination of push-buttons to show golfers, through three windows on the skeleton dial, the hole they're in, the number of shots they've hit on that hole and their cumulative score for the round.
This magnificent timepiece is put in an ultra-technological shell made of carbon fibre and orange Texalium, weighing only 100 grams and offering water-resistance of 100 meters – another first in the art of watchmaking by Hublot’s Big Bang Collection 2022, which even in the most unusual applications proves to be indeed out of the ordinary.
