For the occasion of the 2014 Geneva Watch Fair, Hublot is unveiling an all-new Big Bang for men: the Big Bang Dark Jeans Ceramic 44mm.
The original Big Bang Jeans, primarily made for fashion-conscious female clientele was an immediate success when initially released years ago. However, there was a lot of enthusiasm for the collection from men as well. Something about the combination of Hublot’s signature modern and edgy case with the denim fabric elements was alluring. And while there is a lot common between the new Big Bang Dark Jeans Ceramic 44mm and the original Big Bang Jeans, their characters couldn’t be more different.
For one thing, the Big Bang Dark Jeans Ceramic is made, as the name would imply, from ceramic. The 44mm Big Bang case is made of scratch-proof matte black ceramic; the perfect companion to contrast with denim fabric which typically ages according to the wearers lifestyle.
On the Big Bang Dark Jeans, Hublot opted for a more natural “raw” selvedge denim for the dial and strap elements. In fact, the denim components have to go through a unique hardening process to make them suitable for watch dials. The hands and indexes are done in satin-brushed rhodium coating.
And because it wouldn’t be a Big Bang Jeans without some denim on the strap, Hublot has incorporated the technology from the “gummy gator” where a soft and flexible rubber backing is inlaid with a denim central element. To add to the jeans effect, the strap is sewn together with orange saddle stitching. While raw denim tends to be stiff at first, the strap on the Big Bang Jeans is supple and comfortable from the first time you try it on.
The Big Bang Dark Jeans Ceramic 44mm will be released as a limited edition of 250 pieces worldwide.
