2018 Christmas Day Gift-Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Replica

 

Quick Take


Launched in conjunction with their announcement of artist Shepard Fairey as a new brand ambassador, Hublot has created a limited edition of their hand-wound Meca-10 line that has been designed with input from Fairey. The latest in Hublot's series of art-themed watches, Fairey, who founded OBEY clothing and whose art includes the creation of the iconic Barack Obama Hope poster, seems a natural fit for the brand's focus on disruptive, avant-garde, and controversial artists.

Limited to 100 pieces in two different colors, the Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Shepard Fairey LE is a predictably bold and colorful expression of Hublot's recognizable shape, with a patterned Texalium and carbon fiber case, skeletonized dial, a funky power reserve indicator, and Fairey's own Star Gear logo on the dial.

Initial Thoughts


Outside of perhaps the skeletonized dial, which is certainly not unique to this Hublot design, these Shepard Fairey editions are characterized by the rather detailed application of a tribal floral pattern in the Texalium upper element of the watch's 45mm case. Texalium, for those who don't recall the Big Bang Unico Italia Independent, is specialized aluminum-coated carbon fiber and it allows for the application of a wide variety of colors and the formation of entirely customized imagery within the material. This is basically ideal for a watch that is inspired by the work of a visual artist and the Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Shepard Fairey Limited Edition replica can be had in either blue or grey with additional red accents. 

Both versions have Fairey's star logo on the dial at three and are powered by Hublot's hand-wound HUB 1201 movement. With a 10 day power reserve, this movement has time, sub seconds, and a distinctive cog wheel power reserve display at six o'clock that uses a framed red aperture to show the remaining reserve (in days). Additionally, this Hublot has the brand's "one click" strap changing system, which allows for simple and tool-less strap changes. As offered here, both versions come on a rubber and calf leather strap with an embossed design from the artist himself.

While not a model that speaks to my tastes, I can understand the appeal for 200 well-heeled Fairey devotees and collectors. Not unlike past examples from Hublot's "Hublot Loves Art" series, these models act as an extension of the appeal of the artist themselves, introducing a highly niche Hublot to an engaged audience that can (presumably) be expected to understand both the artist's greater appeal and the nature of collecting within that specific space. As a watch, the $28,300 Big Bang Meca-10 Shepard Fairey translates his artistic creation into a medium that remains collectible, while still functioning as a wearable and everyday enjoyable product.

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. Covering the d...

2020 Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar In Stainless Steel Replica Watch Reviews

Image
In 2019, Patek Philippe introduced a very unique Calatrava in that it’s available in stainless steel and because it has an unusual weekly calendar function.Today let's talk about the Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar In Stainless Steel watch . As with the stainless steel 5711 Nautilus (probably the hottest single watch reference on the planet right now), and the limited edition steel Calatrava 5522 introduced in 2017, anything Patek Philippe makes in stainless steel instantly creates more demand than supply, a problem that I’m sure the Swiss company does not mind having. There’s a lot of hype around steel watches these days, particularly Rolex and Patek Philippe, and while some lesser watch companies try to artificially create the same level of demand by saying a certain watch is “hot” or “sold out,” even when that’s not even close to true, with this Calatrava in steel, or the Rolex Sky-Dweller in steel, I know for a fact it’s true. There are brand representa...

It was actually simply mls from your traditional Calatrava see and noted the first production Pilot’s view developed by Patek (there have been some prototypes in past times, however). But the view found its devote the selection, as a sportier yet still high quality offer.
