While staying true to its distinguished identity, Hublot has always mastered art. The Swiss watch manufacture has actually brought to light a signature under the name of the Art of Fusion, widening the horizons of modern watchmaking and introducing watches that have always packed a statement. To highlight Hublot’s passion for art, let us take you through three timepieces that celebrate the innovative spirit that has always been synonymous with the brand’s style.
Hublot’s Arsham Droplet is the result of a visionary partnership that has brought Hublot together with acclaimed contemporary artist Daniel Arsham. A revolutionary timepiece in every sense of the word, this creation reimagines the classic pocket watch by blending antique form with futuristic materials and production methods. Crafted from a harmonious blend of titanium, rubber and sapphire crystal, it is a true piece of art that can be enjoyed in three different ways: a pocket watch, a pendant or an eye-catching table clock.
The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Depeche Mode pays tribute to the British band’s album and world tour, Memento Mori, vouching to live fully in the present and reflect on the value of time. Preserving its signature tonneau shape, the watch is designed with Hublot’s iconic All Black aesthetic. The skull motif – which was the emblem seen in the video announcing the band’s return – is accompanied with an hourglass to symbolize the passage of time, while the small black ceramic spheres filling the center of the dial symbolically flow back and forth as the wrist moves, conveying the concept of Memento Mori.
Hublot’s Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu is the fruit of 8 years of collaboration with Maxime Plescia-Buchi. The three-dimensional geometry and the indelible features of Sang Bleu are interpreted in a sapphire creation, highlighting the innovation behind this high-tech material. Combining intensity and softness, strength and subtlety, this watch is like a tattoo on the wrist – combining craftsmanship and technology. Keeping up with the Spirit of Big Bang, this timepiece maintains the 42 mm diameter and the soul of the barrel shape while it offers a different aesthetic finish.
