Hublot

Big Bang or Classic Fusion?

These are the two poles of the brand. The Big Bang, launched in 2005, is the thick, layered, screwed-bezel watch that made Hublot's name, and it runs from the Big Bang Original through the in-house-powered Big Bang Unico, the barrel-cased Spirit of Big Bang and the bracelet-integrated Big Bang Integral. Big Bang One Click adds the quick-change strap system used across the women's models.

Classic Fusion is the quieter half: thinner, cleaner, closer to the original 1980 Hublot, available in time-only, chronograph, Aerofusion skeleton and moonphase forms. If the Big Bang is too much watch, this is where to look.

Materials are the point

More than most brands, Hublot's value sits in what the case is made of. King Gold is the house red gold alloy, Magic Gold is scratch-resistant, and ceramic, carbon fibre, titanium and sapphire all appear across the range. These wear and price very differently, so the case material is worth checking as carefully as the reference. Bezel and dial diamonds may be factory-set or added later, and we say which.

Straps, service and trade

Hublot straps are a consumable and replacement is straightforward through the One Click system on later models. We inspect every watch in-house, note box and papers where present, and describe condition as we find it. Pieces listed as price on request are available and quoted on enquiry, and we buy and trade Hublot.
