As the first men's catwalks get under way for Fashion Week in Paris, Hublot has invited the fashion world to the Palais de Tokyo. Within the walls of Monsieur Bleu, Hublot and Italia Independent officially launched Big Bang Unico Italia Independent.
At first glance, Jean-Claude Biver and Lapo Elkann seem very different and yet, when you hear them speak, the fundamentals are the same. They both understand that you need to communicate an emotion to customers. These two think tanks have given rise to Big Bang Unico Italia Independent and its pair of matching glasses. Both covered in Texalium®, an original material, exclusive to Maison Hublot.
The Big Bang Unico Italia Independent is a 45 mm diameter timepiece in Texalium®, which is bright, shining blue, on a denim bracelet pierced with titanium studs. An interchangeable strap with a "One Click" system. The watch comes with a perfectly matching pair of sunglasses. Dressed in blue or grey, both watches are a limited edition of 500 pieces.
As part of its ongoing quest for innovative and creative materials, Hublot has added Texalium® to its Art of Fusion portfolio. By combining carbon fiber and aluminum, this composite material can be made in any hue imaginable with a spectacular shine effect. It also maintains the primary asset of carbon fiber: its lightness.
