Kylian Mbappé is one of the most recognizable figures in world football. In France, he embodies success built on talent, dedication, excellence, and creativity on the pitch, yet his influence extends well beyond his home country. In 2025, he ranked fourth among the world's top-selling football jerseys, with more than one million shirts sold bearing his name. He has been an ideal ambassador for Hublot since 2018, a partnership that has existed since 2018. This year, to celebrate the Big Bang Reloaded’s new design—featuring enhanced legibility and a skeletonized design that offers a clearer view of the flyback chronograph—the partnership takes a step further with a special edition dedicated to the 27-year-old football star, celebrating their shared commitment to hard work and performance while incorporating the signature traits that define Kylian Mbappé.
A Talisman of Determination
Limited to 200 pieces, this edition embodies the combination—or rather the fusion—of cutting-edge technologies (white microblasted ceramic, an in-house column-wheel chronograph, and a twin-level bezel) and Kylian Mbappé. The Big Bang Reloaded Kylian Mbappé therefore presents itself as a powerful talisman, reflecting the footballer’s strong personality and limitless ambition, as well as the spirit of the manufacture itself.
These shared values are captured by Mbappé’s personal mantra—one that could easily serve as Hublot’s own—“Trust Yourself,” engraved at 6 o’clock on the 18K King Gold bezel. The watch also features a single Roman numeral index representing the number 10, the iconic number found on all of Kylian Mbappé’s jerseys.
In football, the number 10 traditionally belongs to the player who controls the game, creates opportunities, and often makes the difference through technical ability, tactical intelligence, and vision. Will it prove equally influential in the world of watchmaking? The fortunate owners of this limited edition may ultimately provide the answer.
A Dual Tribute
The watch’s white aesthetic may well be a tribute to the legendary Real Madrid football club, affectionately known as Los Merengues because of its famous white colors, reminiscent of the equally famous dessert from which the nickname originates.
The brand enhances the pristine whiteness with touches of its in-house 18-carat King Gold rose gold (Hublot’s exclusive alloy containing platinum, which gives the metal a warmer hue). These include the openworked hands partially filled with white Super-LumiNova®, the side of the bezel and its six black titanium screws finished in King Gold, the One-Click quick-change strap system, and the 22K King Gold oscillating weight visible through the sapphire caseback.
Together, these elements create a striking and sophisticated contrast that pays tribute both to the celebrated footballer and to Hublot’s Art of Fusion philosophy.
Powering the watch is Hublot’s now well-established in-house HUB1280 Unico integrated automatic chronograph movement, delivering a 72-hour power reserve. The flyback chronograph function, highly appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts, can be admired through the precise and refined open-worked architecture that has become a hallmark of the collection.
