Unisex size, various materials and colors, plus a case that forms a whole with the bracelet. Available in six versions, the Big Bang Integrated Time Only is now the most minimalist watch in the Fake Hublot collection.
When the first watch from the Hublot brand, then owned by Carlo Crocco, hit the market in 1980, it was so different from the competition’s offerings that it was shocking. The most controversial thing was the combination of a gold case and a rubber strap. Many years later, in 2004, Jean-Claude Biver became CEO, and then another “shock” occurred. Hublot presented the Big Bang model – a watch with a very bold design, combined with bright colors and made of ultra-modern materials. Since then, the flamboyant Big Bang has appeared in hundreds of versions. In 2020, Big Bang Integral was launched, the first Big Bang with an integrated bracelet. The next step was to reduce the case to 40 mm and create a more conventional version, i.e. the Big Bang Integral Time Only watch with time and date display at 6.
These two models paved the way for the new Big Bang Integrated Time Only, recently shown at “Watches and Wonders”, which looks surprisingly “ordinary”. Its case has a unisex size (diameter 38 mm, height 9.4 mm) and for the first time in this series there is a traditional, not skeletonized, dial with a minute scale on the rim, hour indexes and Arabic numerals, as well as a date display at 3.
To protect the mechanism from magnetic fields, the dial is made of soft ferromagnetic steel. In turn, ideal readability of the indications is ensured by: wide indexes and hands (hour and minute), and large, applied numerals (all these elements are covered with luminous material).
The appearance of the Big Bang Integrated Time Only refers to smaller versions of the Classic Fusion model produced by Hublot in the 1980s, and since it belongs to the Integrated line, its case and bracelet form a coherent whole, i.e. they are made of the same material.
The watch comes in six versions: titanium, King Gold and ceramic. Each of the mentioned options will be offered with a black or blue dial. As with other models in the series, the case and bracelet are dominated by brushed surfaces, accentuated by beveled and polished edges. The same type of finish can be seen on the bracelet, whose links have a geometric shape (wide links in the middle and narrow ones on the outside).
On the caseback side, under a sapphire glass, there is an automatic caliber MHUB1115 with a power reserve of approx. 48 hours, which was based on the AMT3000 caliber (the logo with the inscription AMT3000 is located under the balance wheel). The mechanism operates at a frequency of 28,800 oscillations per hour and has a skeleton rotor made of tungsten. Why tungsten? Thanks to its high density of 19.25 g/cm3, this metal is extremely heavy, which ensures more efficient winding of the spring.
Big Bang Integrated Time Only is now on sale. The suggested retail price for this line is EUR 13,600 (~PLN 60,000) for the titanium models, EUR 15,900 (~PLN 69,000) for the ceramic variants and EUR 49,100 (~PLN 213,500) for the King Gold case versions.
