A gifted young man who has enjoyed early success, English multidisciplinary artist and designer Samuel Ross crossed Hublot’s path when he won the Hublot Design Prize in 2019

This explosive encounter gave rise to a watch that took three years of development to shape the iconic Big Bang according to the designer’s own aesthetic codes. His sculptural, organic vision inspired by Nature led Hublot to completely modify the case and bezel, crown, dial and the bracelet in microblasted titanium with refined finishes. The dominant monochrome look extends to the tourbillon bridge, while the honeycomb motif continues on the supple rubber strap, which transforms the overall look by changing color to suit the wearer: white, black or apple green. This artistic collaboration perfectly reflects the DNA of the child prodigy and the brand, who have jointly created a magnificent limited series.
