CLASSIC FUSION TAKASHI MURAKAMI SAPPHIRE RAINBOW

CLASSIC FUSION TAKASHI MURAKAMI SAPPHIRE RAINBOW

Hublot and Takashi Murakami unveil the second timepiece of their collaboration: the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow. This new watch takes the smiling flower, the iconic theme of the Japanese artist’s work, and transforms it into a whirlwind of transparency and colour. Hublot loves Art!

After launching the first timepiece at the beginning of the year – an All Black watch, which became an instant collector’s item – Hublot and Takashi Murakami are continuing to transpose the Japanese artist’s Kawaii world into horology, by introducing the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow watch. This new piece, still based on the smiling flower, the iconic theme of Murakami’s work, has moved from black to colour with transparent effects.  

The technicians in Hublot’s workshops have created a unique setting with this new work of art, a transparent background through which we can contemplate both the artist’s work and the intricate mechanics of the watchmakers in Nyon. Reusing the characteristic features of the Classic Fusion model, this 45mm-diameter case is cut from sapphire crystal, a technological feat pioneered by Hublot.

The smiling flower presents a mischievous smile on a three-dimensional face that literally emerges from the watch dial, extending out beyond the sapphire crystal. 12 colourful petals rotate around this face, and their polychromatic effect is achieved by setting 487 stones representing the colours of the rainbow: rubies, pink sapphires, amethysts, blue sapphires, tsavorites, yellow and orange sapphires. Thanks to an ingenious ball-bearing system specially developed by Hublot’s engineers, the petals start turning under the watch crystal and bring Takashi Murakami’s smiling flower to life.  

In the beating heart of the watch, the Nyon watchmakers have placed the company’s HUB1214 calibre, here without the stopwatch function. This movement has a power reserve of 72 hours.

Targeting Contemporary Art insiders, the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow watch is available in a limited edition of 100 numbered pieces.

CHIARA FERRAGNI BECOMES A NEW HUBLOT GLOBAL AMBASSADOR AND FACE OF THE GLOBAL CAMPAIGN

CHIARA FERRAGNI BECOMES A NEW HUBLOT GLOBAL AMBASSADOR AND FACE OF THE GLOBAL CAMPAIGN

Fusion under the influence – With Chiara, everything is possible

Chiara Ferragni has joined the Hublot family in the company of many legendary personalities such as football legend Pelé, tennis world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, track and field champions Dina Asher-Smith and Usain Bolt and three Michelin star chef Clare Smyth. She lights up everything she touches and creates, she is a natural-born winner and shines her aura over everything she loves and chooses.

Today, she has chosen Hublot. So why Chiara Ferragni and why Hublot?

Everything I do, I do to share. The things I love, the people I love, the things I experience, my daily life, my children, my work: I put my heart into everything to inspire others, to believe in themselves and their dreams. I found my ikigai in 2009. I managed to combine my passion with my talent in response to a need and now it has become my business. By opening the door to who I am and what I experience, I am also hoping to inspire the women of today not to choose between being a wife, a mother or an entrepreneur. All these roles complete me, just as they complete each other. Beauty drives everything I do. Not only inner beauty, but everything I see around me. That is reflected in my collaborations, my words, my charity work and my daily life. Why Hublot? Because Hublot is not like any other watch brand, it follows its own distinctive path, with determination: It follows its dreams of innovation, while respecting traditions; it seeks beauty both inside and out, by showcasing much more than athletic performance or the success of a family member, it celebrates the reasons for this performance and success, in other words, the ability to be first, different and unique. Hublot’s messages and values speak to me, that’s why I have chosen to join this family today. A fusion of passion and determination has shaped who I am, across all my roles, and forged the businesswoman I have become. This same fusion has also made Hublot the company it is today.

Chiara Ferragni
Hublot Brand Ambassador

Who does not know Chiara Ferragni? Her extraordinary destiny is not down to luck, this visionary and determined woman is someone who learnt how to grow and evolve with her time. By portraying and sharing who she is and what she loves, she has realised her dream, inspiring the men and women of her generation to believe that anything is possible. As someone who is both authentic and spontaneous, she has turned her happy, positive and generous nature into her trademark. As a visionary and pioneer, she has been able to move with the times by dominating the digital platforms and turning her passion into a real business. Her passion became her job, and her natural talent transformed into a success that is seemingly within everyone’s reach. Her inspiring journey proves that anything is possible; it’s the stuff of dreams, while being very real. Who wouldn’t want to live and realise their dreams like Chiara Ferragni? At Hublot, we love inspiring women and men who believe in their dreams and move heaven and earth to fulfil them, who assert their distinctive personality, are willing to go out on a limb, who are not afraid of what people will say and who follow their path with authenticity and passion.
That’s why Chiara fits so well into our family.

Ricardo Guadalupe HUBLOT CEO

Surely, one no longer needs to present Chiara Ferragni?

Well yes, if only to highlight the very nature of this woman, a so-called influencer, a term too small to encompass all her talents. As a business woman, entrepreneur, influencer, wife and mother of two, she embodies that ‘can do’ attitude that everyone finds so inspiring.Twelve years after launching theblondesalad.com, Chiara Ferragni has achieved a success story. When she started out, Instagram did not exist and blogging was in its infancy. It took Chiara only a few months to turn a hobby into a business, attracting the attention of the media and the fashion world, and placing her name alongside the biggest luxury brands.

First, Unique, Different. Just like Hublot! She single-handedly created a job for herself, followed her instincts, asserted her choice to share and talk about her life. Honoured several times by Forbes, her career path has even inspired a study by the prestigious Harvard University to understand her success.

In tune with her times, Chiara is leaving her mark on the world. She resolutely believes in her dreams. A dreamer she may be, but she is firmly rooted in her land and her roots. Chiara Ferragni draws her strength from the stability of her family, her parents and two sisters; she has gone on to recreate this strength through her own family, which she has built with Fedez.

So, is it natural talent, intuition or destiny? What if was a bit of all three? Whatever the case, what is certain is that she achieves firsts with her writing, she asserts her uniqueness, and her difference while retaining that very inclusive feeling of being the ‘girl next door…’

She is an entrepreneur who embodies the digital revolution and the arrival of social media. Chiara is a pioneer, she is constantly achieving firsts. With her fashion blog, launched 12 years ago, she was immediately considered the most influential and most famous blogger in the world. She created her own brand of shoes, then clothing in 2015— Chiara Ferragni Brand, —she was also the first to be listed as the world’s most powerful influencer. Indeed, there is no shortage of superlatives to describe her career and she is not afraid to use them. Both her real life and her digital world are filled with sharing, joy, values and optimism. She is unique, that’s for sure! She is proud of her uniqueness, after transforming her name into a brand, a trademark, a style and an inspiration. She also uses her platforms and visibility to help the causes that are close to her heart. Ultimately, what makes her different is that she has managed to turn her passion, her daily routine and her life into a true success story. She is also different for resembling a generation of women who live with the times and manage to combine several roles, without placing any filters between the different parts of their lives. With an Instagram community of 24.7 million followers, she shares her daily life as a wife, mother and entrepreneur openly and frankly. Chiara is an inspirational figure.
Chiara and Hublot, how it began


You may remember the pictures of Chiara Ferragni wearing the Big Bang Millenial Pink. A unisex watch with an inclusive message, produced as a limited edition of 200 pieces in a shade chosen by Lapo Elkann and designed in collaboration with Garage Italia. Since this project, Chiara and Hublot have simply understood that there were many similarities between their worlds.
So, get ready, because what Chiara & Hublot are preparing for you is likely to make a big impression, once again… First, Unique, Different!

HUBLOT
Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovation, which began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This “Art of Fusion” stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012.

The release of the iconic, multi-award-winning Big Bang in 2005 paved the way for new flagship collections (Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang), with complications ranging from the simple to the highly sophisticated, establishing the extraordinary DNA of the Swiss watchmaking house and ensuring its impressive growth.
Keen to preserve its traditional and cutting-edge expertise, and guided by its philosophy to “Be First, Different and Unique”, the Swiss watchmaker is consistently ahead of the curve, through its innovations in materials (scratch-resistant Magic Gold, ceramics in vibrant colours, sapphire), and the creation of Manufacture movements (Unico, Meca-10, Tourbillon).
HUBLOT is fully committed to creating a Haute Horlogerie brand with a visionary future: a future which is fused with the key events of our times (FIFA World CupTM, UEFA Champions LeagueTM, UEFA EUROTM) and the finest ambassadors our era has to offer (Kylian Mbappé, Usain Bolt, Pelé, Novak Djokovic).

HUBLOT BIG BANG DJ SNAKE

HUBLOT BIG BANG DJ SNAKE

The most streamed French artist in the world, with a slew of international hits, DJ Snake is joining forces with Hublot to unveil an exclusive creation: the Big Bang DJ Snake. A watch boasting a myriad of facets, just like the talented artist who inspired it.

“To be able to wear – and also offer my fans – a watch which reflects my personality is something that has been very important to me since the start of my partnership with Hublot. I am delighted to have been able to combine my inspiration with the expertise of the fantastic watchmakers and technicians at this Swiss brand.” – DJ Snake


“DJ Snake turns everything he touches to gold! We are thrilled to have been able to channel his outstanding creativity into this new limited edition piece. The result is truly multifaceted, just like DJ Snake’s talents!” – Ricardo Guadalupe, HUBLOT CEO

DJ Snake has such a huge presence in today’s musical landscape that he needs no introduction. The electronic music star first came to public attention with the track “Turn Down For What”, released in 2013. Since then, the hits have racked up: “Lean On”, “Loco Contigo”, “Let Me Love You” with Justin Bieber, and “Selfish Love” with Selena Gomez. Diplo, Kanye West, Lil Jon… the collaborations keep on coming! He became the first French artist to have two songs with over a billion plays on Spotify, and the awards have rained down: Billboard Music Awards; MTV Music Awards; and no fewer than three NRJ Music Awards.

Hublot and DJ Snake have been partners since January 1st 2018, when he presided over the decks at Hublot’s closing evening during the FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Three years later, the first watch of this partnership is being unveiled:  The Big Bang DJ Snake.

The instantly recognizable and iconic design of the Big Bang now has an iridescent shine, with countless blue and purple hues. The bezel and the six titanium components of the 45-mm case are treated with a special and technical manufacturing process, similar to a black PVD treatment.  During the process, the different components of the watch must each be placed in specific positions when they are coated with different colors. The result is an optical effect in which the colors of the watch change depending on the light and when viewed from different angles. Not only that, but the surface of the parts was hardened before the iridescent treatment in order to improve its adherence. This operation is a complex one as it is difficult to obtain the same gradation of colour on each of the 100 watches being produced. The cut-outs on the outer edge of the bezel were designed by DJ Snake himself. These notches make the Big Bang DJ Snake immediately recognisable, distinguishing it from other collections. An illustration of the “Art of Fusion” philosophy so dear to Hublot!

On the upper face of the sapphire dial in the same colours as the case, a globe is featured, the signature of the electronic music star. A nod both to his travels across the planet for his concerts and to the fact that his hits have made the world his home. The lower section is skeletonised and treated to create sections with a black fumé finish.

This semi-transparent finish allows a glimpse of the famous calibre HUB1242 UNICO movement, a flyback chronograph with a power reserve of 72 hours.

Limited to 100 pieces, the Big Bang DJ Snake will be supplied with two straps which are easily interchangeable thanks to Hublot’s patented One Click system. The first is made from rubber, with a grey, black and purple camouflage pattern echoing the myriad colours reflected by the watch case. The second, also rubber, has a black ribbed structure. The clasp on these straps also features the same “Newton’s Rings” effect as the case and bezel.

ビッグバンインテグラルトゥールビヨンフルサファイア：ピュアサファイア製

ビッグバンインテグラルトゥールビヨンフルサファイア：ピュアサファイア製

たまに少ないほうが多い、おそらくもっと多いというのは事実です。 ビッグバンインテグラルトゥールビヨンフルサファイアで、ウブロはそのアートオブフュージョンを究極の結論に導きました。 サファイアから測定するために作られた新しい一体型ブレスレットとケース：この偉業は、ウブロがサファイアの仕事で獲得した技術的能力と卓越した経験をもう一度確認します。

2021年4月-一部の人にとって、これは自然な展開のように見えるでしょう。 他の人にとっては、それは完全な切断になります。 最終結果はそれぞれ少しです。 ビッグバンインテグラルトゥールビヨンフルサファイアは、長い伝統の成果です。 2016年にルーツを持ち、最初のサファイアウォッチであるビッグバンユニコサファイアです。 この作品で、ウブロは非常に硬い素材を機械加工して開発した経験を翻訳し、卓越した一連のサファイア時計を作成しました。 今日、ウブロはこれらの限界をさらに押し上げています。ケースとブレスレットが統合された最初のビッグバンで、どちらもサファイア製です。 （r）自然な進化と同等の高度な技術的偉業。

Big Bang Integral Sapphir Tourbillon

「このような特別な作品のために、サファイアブリッジを備えた新しい自動トゥールビヨンキャリバーを選びました。その透明度はまばゆいばかりの光景を生み出します。しかし、サファイアケースとブレスレットを統合するという行為は不可能と見なされました。サファイアを完全に習得し、工業化して連続生産で再現可能にします。最初のサファイアケースを実現するのに5年かかり、ブレスレットもほぼ同時に使用しました。サファイアから製造し、それらを統合することが最高です。すべてのHublotチームによって行われた綿密な作業の結果です。私たちは、資料の歴史の中でこの新しい章の最初の行を書いた人であることを誇りに思います。」- Ricardo Guadalupe, HUBLOT CEO

時計についての特定の詳細を知っているのは時計職人だけである場合があります。 ケースとブレスレットがすべてサファイアでできているので、すべての秘密が明らかになります。ムーブメントとケースが融合し、すべての側面が見えます。

この新しいビッグバンインテグラルトゥールビヨンフルサファイアのケースは、自動トゥールビヨンムーブメントを収納するために完全に再構築されました。 目標は、目に見えるほとんどすべてのネジを外し、ケースの一般的な形状を確認してサファイアブレスレットと統合し、サファイアブレスレットを収納する新しいケースプロファイルを開発し、ブリッジとメインプレートを再加工して適切にフィットさせることです。妄想。 宇宙に吊るされているのです。 ウブロはまた、光がすべてのコンポーネントを通過できるように、最も単純な表現に縮小されたインサートとアクセサリーを開発しました。 したがって、ケースは37個以上のコンポーネントで構成されており、そのうち5個はサファイアのみで構成されています。

ブレスレットも複雑な課題でした。165個のコンポーネントのみで構成されており、そのうち22個はサファイアで作られています。 各コンポーネントには独自の工業プロセスがありました。 これらの3分の1は、ケースの透明性と独自の調和をもたらし、流動性と柔軟性を提供するために特別に設計されました。 特に注目すべきは、ウブロが開発したチタンインサートで、ブレスレットの各リンクの両側からはみ出さないように超小型化されています。これは、製造およびおそらく時計製造で初めてのことです。

ムーブメントに関しては、完全に自社で設計および製造された自作のキャリバーHUB6035が、この作品の心臓部です。 12時位置のマイクロローターと6時位置のトゥールビヨンの完璧なバランスを示し、この新しいビッグバン専用の3つの透明なサフ​​ァイアブリッジも備えています。 コンポーネントは文字通り宇宙に吊るされているように見えます。 各歯車列は、文字盤の側面から入り、反対側のスケルトンムーブメントを通過する光が透過するだけでなく、ビッグバンインテグラルトゥールビヨンフルサファイアの中心部にあらゆる方向から光が初めて入ります。 。 手首にカプセル化された光の断片である、拡散、屈折、反射、ねじれ、回転します。

ウブロメカ-10時計

時計にインスピレーションを与えた時計：ジュラを拠点とするレペの製造と協力して、ウブロは卓上時計で使用するための有名なMECA-10製造ムーブメントの特大バージョンを製造しました。

2016年1月にウブロがMECA-10ムーブメントを発表したことで、時計愛好家は驚愕しました。 製造業者は手動ムーブメントを再発明し、比類のないパフォーマンスと、メカノ構造システムに触発されたユニークなスタイルを提供しました。 珍しいスケルトン構造により、ムーブメントに魅力的な3次元の奥行きが加わり、ブリッジとケースバックを通してはっきりと見えます。 その並外れた10日間のパワーリザーブは、今ではまともな手動キャリバーに欠かせないものであり、文字盤で読み取ることができるディスクに表示されます。

2020年に、ウブロは特大バージョンでユニークな製品を発表しました。 MECA-10は、10日間のパワーリザーブを含め、元の仕様を完全に維持しながら、置時計で使用するために4倍大きくなっています。

「MECA-10ムーブメントのユニークな機能をより大規模に再現することができました。 このエンジニアリングの偉業は、ウブロとレペの両方のチームの協力のおかげで達成されました。 このようにして、私たちは時計製造の神聖な伝統のための新しいコースを計画しています。 」

Ricardo Guadalupe

CEO OF HUBLOT

MECA-10ムーブメントを拡大するために、ウブロはレペ製造のサービスに参加しました。このジュラを拠点とする会社の世界的に有名な時計製造の専門知識は、コラボレーションの自然な選択となりました。腕時計の設計は時計の作成とは大きく異なるため、ウブロは有名な「ArtofFusion」アプローチを紹介する機会も与えられました。時計学の新しい分野で。この特に印象的な結果は、ウブロとエペのデザイナー、コンストラクター、マスター時計学者の専門知識を組み合わせることによって達成されました。

オリジナルと驚くほど似ているウブロMECA-10クロックは、本質的に、その前身の特大バージョンです。広々とした19.60x 18.10 cmのケースには、2つのバージョンがある貴重なムーブメントが収納されています。 1つ目は、メカノにインスパイアされたアングルと、磨かれたサテン仕上げのスチールと透明なコンポジットのリングが特徴です。 2つ目は黒のPVDで覆われ、歯車列を支える橋も黒でコーティングされています。 3時位置のノッチ付きリューズは、ムーブメントを手動で巻き上げる際のグリップを向上させるためにラバーコーティングされています。

HUBLOT LOVES TOKYO! Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot celebrates its 40th anniversary with another Big Bang!

Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot celebrates its 40th anniversary with another Big Bang! After Place Vendome in Paris, Rue du Rhône in Geneva, 5Th Avenue in New York City, New Bond Street in London, Heritage in Hong Kong Tsim Sha Tsui district, now comes Chuo-dori Street in Tokyo for the brand world’s biggest Flagship Boutique.

HUBLOT LOVES TOKYO!


In 2020, Hublot is turning 40! During this anniversary year Hublot has a reason to celebrate, as on May 26, its largest flagship store, the Hublot Boutique Ginza, will open. After Place Vendome in Paris, Rue  du Rhône in Geneva, 5Th Avenue in New York City, New Bond Street in London, Heritage in Hong Kong, now comes Chuo-dori Street in Tokyo.The swiss luxury watchmaker is now present on an iconic location on Chuo-dori Street. The new boutique, also called the “Hublot tower” thanks to its 56-meter-high dynamic façade, will offer Hublot a stylish, luxurious and open space. The Hublot Boutique Ginza perfectly expresses The Art of Fusion, the brand concept focused on the blending of materials and ideas. Across three floors, customers will be immersed in the world of Hublot. Visitors will find the whole collection displayed on the ground floor, the VIP experience room on the second floor and the exhibition area on the third floor.

“We are honored to celebrate the opening of our new flagship Boutique in Tokyo. In only 40 years, Hublot has seen many firsts and many successes, and today is again another milestone for our Maison. We have long had presence on the most prestigious streets in the world’s metropolises and from today in Japan too, our number one market. The “Hublot Tower” is a symbol of the fusion of modernity and tradition that we ardently pursue and uphold in all our actions.” -Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot

The 56-meter high dynamic façade is the most idiosyncratic and artistic façade of the brand’s boutiques. The laminated glass panels scattered with mirrored pieces exhibits different sights: it reflects sunlight to create a beautiful glitter during the daytime, and at nighttime a luxurious glow appears to emanate from within.

The interior of the boutique, boasting the brand’s largest retail space at 330 square meters, reflects one of the important elements of Hublot’s watchmaking—its unique use of materials. The spacious boutique expresses on three floors the contemporary style so dear to Hublot: leather chairs, ebony tables, floors of marble or carpet, and an impressive staircase with sides made of zigzag laser-cut mirrored stainless steel.

Another highlight of the boutique is the crystal chandelier installed on the vaulted ceiling reaching more than 9 metres high, which can be rarely found in Japan. The entrance hall is full of a sense of openness and welcomes customers.

Each floor of Hublot Boutique Ginza expresses the fusion of quality materials and contemporary, luxurious beauty by boldly displayed pop artworks depicting Hublot timepieces and movements on the walls, stretching from floor to ceiling.
