Hublot Big Bang 44 ‘Original’ Watch Review & What It Meant To Jean-Claude Biver


Let's go over a little bit of history first. Hublot as a brand began in the early 1980s, around 1981. The term "hublot" means "porthole" in French, which was the aesthetic influence behind the brand's case designs. Of course Hublot wasn't the first company to produce watch cases inspired by portholes. About 10 years earlier in 1972 Audemars Piguet released the Gerald Genta-designed Royal Oak whose case was also inspired by portholes.

Hublot has a relatively quiet history as a pleasant but ultimately small watch brand that did itself the disservice of being founded during the height of the quartz crisis. In the late 1990s and early 2000s Hublot wasn't doing very well and was apparently looking for a buyer. That buyer ended up being Jean-Claude Biver who recently came from Omega and Blancpain.

As I sat there and carefully considered the potential watch purchase, I asked the dentist why he wanted to sell it. The Citizen purchase itself was so obscure, and it certainly wasn't the type of watch to be flipped. The guy responded by saying that he had just made a much more expensive watch purchase and was looking to help pay it off. So selling the Citizen was to help make room for something he wanted more. What could it be? He walked off into another room to get his new coveted purchase.http://www.watches119.co/replica-hublot/big-bang

I didn't notice how long he was gone given my attention to the Campanola chronograph with the hand-painted dial that I was torn about getting. When the dentist returned, he proudly handed me a Hublot Big Bang smiling and saying "have you see one of these?" I hadn't.

The Hublot Big Bang 44 reference 301.SB.131.RX I am reviewing here is actually the same exact model that I was shown in that dentist's living room over a decade ago. Now it is on my wrist, even though it is one of many Hublot timepieces I've put on my wrist. The last Hublot I reviewed was the spiritual successor to the original Big Bang which was the Hublot Big Bang UNICO watch. With that said, the Big Bang 44 has a unique look and wearing experience. Compared to the Big Bang UNICO, this earlier model is a bit more simple, slightly smaller, and at this point actually feels more classic.

The sandwich-style case design is where a lot of the "art of fusion" comes into play. Hublot designed the Big Bang this way so that it could mix and match colors and materials. Being able to have a modular case design was an important part of the original concept. This watch case makes use of steel, resin, titanium, ceramic, and rubber. Other Big Bang models have featured a large host of other materials ranging from gold to carbon fiber and even magnesium. Today, Hublot is still a big fan of using novel and interesting case materials for luxury watches. Other brands quickly followed suit.

Hot Sale Replica Omega Speedmaster 38mm Watches For 2017

Image
With Baselworld 2017 here, Omega is releasing fourteen new 38mm Speedmaster watches. Some refer to the automatic Omega Speedmasters that come in this size as "reduced," and the brand is noting that these Omega Speedmaster 38mm models replica will be both men's and women's watches. Sized the same, materials and color choices will separate the men's and women's pieces. The Omega Speedmaster 38mm 324.30.38.50.03.001 is very cool with a light blue dial and seems to be the sportiest model we've seen here. This version is devoid of any precious metal and features a sunray-brushed, ice-blue dial. The dial is well accompanied by the dark blue aluminum bezel, and similarly colored subdial and chronograph hands. This is the only one out of the four watches shown here that comes on a (polished and brushed) stainless steel bracelet. The Omega Speedmaster 38mm reference 324.28.38.50.02.002 is another ladies' piece featuring the diamond studded bezel rin

The Hublot F1 King Power Austin Limited Edition Watch

Image
Not to be outdone by Audemars Piguet and their claims to Formula 1 racing, Hublot, the official watch brand of F1, has announced the F1 King Power Austin as a tribute to the United States Grand Prix which was held in Austin, Texas this past weekend. Limited to just 250 units, this titanium cased chronograph boasts a carbon and titanium bezel which has been styled to look like a cross-drilled  performance brake rotor. Measuring 48mm across, the F1 King Power Austin is powered by the HUB4100 automatic chronograph movement which has a power reserve of 42 hours and offers a 30 minute chronograph, sub seconds and a date display. While the King Power line is a predictable platform for an F1-inspired watch, Hublot has not simply slapped an F1 logo on an existing model. The rubberized chronograph pushers boldly proclaim "START" and "RESET" in red and black lettering, calling for a comparison with the button-heavy layouts of a modern F1 steering wheel. The pushers are

Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer Limited Edition Watch

Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer Limited Edition Watch Every year at Baselworld, Omega announces a massive amount of new watches, and usually only a handful take the spotlight each year. Last year it was the Trilogy Collection and this year the new Seamaster 300M seemed to get all the love. However, Omega usually has a few sleeper hits up their sleeves, and for 2018, one of my favorite Omega releases is the latest addition to its CK2998 family, the Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer Limited Edition watch. The Speedmaster is a watch that needs no introduction in the watch world. It’s an iconic (yeah, I used the “i” word) design that has stood the test of time and is instantly recognizable. The new Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer is fitted with a steel case, measuring in at 39.7mm in diameter with a lug spacing of 19mm, suggesting that it will wear quite nicely on most wrist sizes, but difficult to find alternative strap options due to the 19mm lug spacing.
