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.
