Hublot Goes Back To Basics With New Big Bang Sang Bleu II

 Partnerships are part of Hublot’s DNA, and many of them are continuing adventures in which they explore what hasn’t done before in watchmaking. This is also the case with the partnership that they have with Maxime Plescia-Büchi, the Swiss tattoo artist and founder of Sang Bleu. When his signature designs are transformed in watches, they become tattoos that not only you can take off, but which also tell time.

Thanks to its unique hands, it looks like a continuous changing tattoo in Plescia-Büchi’s signature style, even more so when the chronograph function is engaged. While the shapes of the hands continue in the case, and also the strap, does it remain unmistakeably a Hublot. For the latest Big Bang Sang Bleu II, Hublot and Plescia-Büchi explore a new simplicity, by using black and white. The result is refreshing, as the basic colors amplify the strengths of the design.

 Sometimes, I talk too fast and too much, especially when I’m holding an incredible timepiece in my hands. My problem is that when confronted with something stimulating, the words in my head effervesce and brim over like Champagne emanating from a bottle held aloft by a victorious motorsports champion. I struggle to contain my enthusiasm for horological matters. When I am excited, the alacrity of my speech gains momentum, adopting a staccato style and becoming barely decipherable as it reaches a crescendo. The passion I have for fine watchmaking is manifest with energetic speech and animated non-verbal behavior. Indeed, I would make a hapless poker player, such is this open disclosure of my inner thoughts.
