Hublot's Big Bang 20th Anniversary Collections

Hublot debuted a timepiece at Baselworld in 2005 that changed the world's perception of modern luxury watches, known as the Big Bang. The watch provides something different in every sense of design, whether it is its 44 mm case plated with silver and ceramic, a porthole-shaped bezel locked with an H-shaped screw, or something very different under the glass and a rubber strap, making it a timepiece with a luxury chronograph.

Hublot charged a rebellious course while everyone else was working on defining and doubling the design. Its all-around mantra, "Art of Fusion," is used in Big Bang to combine Swiss craftsmanship with unusual metal selections such as ceramics and carbon fiber. The Big Bang did not launch a product; rather, it launched a whole new philosophy.

It's been 20 years since this breathtaking creation. To commemorate two decades of bold design, craftsmanship, and the born philosophy, the brand's undefeated Big Bangs 20th Anniversary Collection will be unveiled at Watch Wonder Geneva 2025.

Evolution in Design

• A smart 43 mm case size unifies the five anniversary editions, striking a balance between the 44 mm original and the later 42 mm models. The casings retain Hublot's iconic sandwich design, which consists of stacked pieces that allow different materials and finishes to coexist in the same watch.

• Inside, Hublot's unique automatic flyback chronograph movement, the HUB1280 Unico, beats. The Unico's column-wheel construction, front-facing view, and 72-hour power reserve complement the visual drama. The revised Unico demonstrates to collectors that Hublot is a serious horological developer, not simply a fashion brand.

• The 2005 original Big Bang is referenced in the dial design. Although the contemporary Super-LumiNova offers vision in low light, the carbon-pattern relief design, sword-shaped hands, and bold Arabic numerals are reminiscent of the past. With its lozenge tread and exclusive One-Click exchange system, the rubber strap—a trademark of Hublot since 1980—makes strap replacement easy.

The Five launches: Limited with the time

1. Big Bang 20th Anniversary Titanium Ceramic

Unconditional hubolt is the titanium ceramic. The titanium ceramic is the model that would be best suited to explain the big band's DNA. Its black ceramic bezel and grade 5 titanium construction will remind you of the original 2005 watch. Even though it feels like a piece of metal from this unbreakable universe is around your wrist, the timepiece's tough and rugged appearance and feel enhance its appearance and aura.

Limited to 500 pieces

Price: approx. USD 20,800

In addition to being the "entry point" into the anniversary lineup, this model is also the most historically significant in many respects. This watch establishes a direct link between 2005 and 2025.

2. Big Bang 20th Anniversary King Gold Ceramic

Let's go on to this series' second king. The reason I call it a king is because it is composed of king gold, an 18k alloy that has been enhanced with copper and platinum to give it a warm tone and catch all the light. The perfect combination of precision and toughness is paired with black ceramic.

Limited to 250 pieces

Price: approx. USD 38,400

This edition discusses the Big Bang's development as a high-end product. King Gold Ceramic exudes luxury, whereas titanium and ceramic emphasize sportiness.

3. Big Bang's 20th Anniversary Magic Gold

According to the list's third place finisher, there are only 100 instances of magic gold exclusivity. It is made of 18k magic gold, the only scratch-resistant alloy formed by fusing gold and ceramic under extreme pressure, redefining what is thought to be possible in metallurgy. A gold watch suitable for everyday wear? As a result, the answer is the Big Bang.

The anniversary edition highlights this groundbreaking material in all of its glory, combining luxury and durability. Limited to 100 pieces.

Price: Approximately USD 40,500.

It's both an engineering marvel and a collector's dream, perfectly encapsulating Hublot's innovative spirit.

4. Big Bang 20th Anniversary Red Magic

When you think of a ceramic product, you probably imagine it in black or white, but the Big Bang series broke this stereotype in 2018 by releasing its red magic watch, the next in the Big Bang series. This was the world's first vibrantly colored ceramic that remained durable and scratch resistant. The anniversary edition brings that fire back. The bright red case is impossible to ignore, bold and playful in equal measure. Limited to 100 pieces

Price: approx. USD 31,800

The Red Magic exemplifies Hublot's belief that watches should elicit emotion—and sometimes shock.

5. Big Bang 20th Anniversary All Black

As a result, the series feels unfinished when it refuses to accept or be influenced by its title. It feels like it has lost its originality. So, this watch of the series is influenced The original color and appearance of the Big Bang. This edition adheres to the radical style statement, which is represented by the black ceramic color. This results in the ideal combination of solidity and originality. The assertive monochrome palette emphasizes the mysterious and contemporary, resulting in stunning and striking visuals. This anniversary edition features matte and polished black ceramic and a black-on-black dial. Some consider it understated, while others find it provocative. In either case, it's pure Hublot. Only 500 pieces will be available.

Price: about USD 25,200.

The All Black is more than just a watch; it represents a design philosophy that has inspired countless other brands to experiment with monochrome aesthetics.

More than just a timepiece!

Big Bang has always gone beyond watchmaking, whether it's been followed by celebrities or collaborated with top organizations like Ferrari, FIFA, UEFA, and the arts community. Because it was loud, bold, and self-defining, the Big Bang became a universal symbol of action and the art of being different.

Timeless but limited.

These watches are released in limited editions ranging from 100 to 500, making them a true collector's item. The scarcity of red magic and magic gold states (both capped at 200 pieces) ensures a demand among collectors.

The Legacy of Fusion

What distinguishes these five watches is not just their design or engineering. It's their responsibility as storytellers. Each represents a chapter from the Big Bang saga:

• Titanium Ceramic: A daring debut.

• King Gold Ceramic: combines luxury and durability.

• Red Magic: The Material Revolution.

• All Black: A disruptive design philosophy.

• Magic Gold: the ultimate fusion of tradition and science.

They describe a 20-year journey of experimentation, reinvention, and unwavering innovation.

Conclusion

The Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary Collection is much more than just a limited edition. It demonstrates the significance of the Big Bang. The big bang evolved over time, with newcomers joining in every time. These five series models represent a milestone that has been achieved. Big Bang proposed the fusion of art and modern horology.
