Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang & Classic Fusion Chronograph Watches Collaboration With Street Artists
Hublot Spirit of Big Bang West Coast Ceramic Black and White
The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang West Coast Ceramic Black and White looks at first glance very much like something produced by Richard Mille, with the skeletonized dial and tonneau-shaped case. This is a chronograph watch, although such isn't immediately apparent due to the discreet black pushers and a lot of detail on the dial which initially can distract the eye from the chronograph's registers. Featured at 3 o'clock is the 30-minute counter, followed by a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, and running seconds at 9 o'clock, which is also signed with Hush's name. An exposed date ring runs the periphery of the dial, framed by a perforated white border at 4:30. The central second hand features a Hublot-logo counterweight and black-plated tip with a thin strip of white luminescent material, which also features on the chronograph register hands and hour markers.
The case of the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang West Coast Ceramic Black and White is made of micro-blasted black ceramic, which should provide the watch with good scratch resistance. Keeping the monochromatic theme is a contrasting white ceramic bezel, affixed to the case with six titanium screws with a polished black PVD coating. The case measures 42mm in diameter and is 14.10mm thick, and although Hublot haven't specified the case length, I expect this watch will wear quite big. The case is also water-resistant to 10 ATM (approximately 100m) which combined with the tough ceramic should make this a capable sports watch. Note, however, that while ceramic is very hard, it is also brittle, which is a concern for a watch that stands 14.10mm tall and can thus be prone to knocking against things.
Powering the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang West Coast Ceramic Black and White is the HUB4700 movement, which is a Hublot-branded and skeletonized El Primero high-beat chronograph caliber (both Zenith and Hublot are owned by LVMH after all). This movement oscillates at 36,000 A/h or 5Hz, features 278 components and 31 jewels, and offers a rather generous 50 hour power reserve. The watch comes with two straps, a black rubber and multicolored calf leather strap for a bolder vibe, or a black rubber and plain white alligator leather strap for something a bit more restrained. Both feature white contrast stitching and a black ceramic deployant clasp. The caseback features Hush's "Fame" artwork (hereafter known as Katinka Ingabogovinanana) that fills the caseback, along with the text "SPECIAL EDITION" and the watch serial number denoted as "XX/50."
The Hublot Classic Fusion 45mm Chronograph East Coast Bronze also comes with two straps, one in black rubber and brown calf leather extensively embossed with geometric patterns, and the other in black rubber and brown alligator leather with an embossed Hublot logo but no other detailing. The case is water-resistant to 5 bar (approximately 50m), which is fine for the occasional immersion but not suitable for swimming with. The caseback is made of micro-blasted black ceramic to avoid the bronze coming into contact with the wearer's skin, and decorated with Eaton's artwork of the Wall Street themed bull motif. Powering this watch is the HUB1143 movement, which is a Hublot-branded ETA 2892-A2 with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module. It features 280 components and 59 jewels, oscillates at 28,800 A/h or 4Hz, and offers a 42 hour power reserve.
These are two very different watches by Hublot, despite the unifying theme of "Fame" and "Fortune." The vivid use of reds and blues for the artwork on each caseback shows a common heritage of eye-catching street art from both Hush and Tristan Eaton, but there the similarities end. The Hublot Classic Fusion 45mm Chronograph East Coast Bronze is by far the more traditionally-styled of the two, offering greater legibility, a cleaner dial, and a rich gold tone which does a good job of capturing the "Fortune" design goal. For those with a keener interest in the movement, the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang West Coast Ceramic Black and White brings the excellent El Primero high-beat caliber to the table, along with a more avant-garde design approach.
