Born to Break the Rules

When Carlo Crocco founded Hublot in 1980, the Swiss watch industry scoffed at his idea of attaching a rubber strap to a gold watch. The concept was heresy — until it became a phenomenon. That founding philosophy, "The Art of Fusion," still drives the manufacture in Nyon today. Hublot was the first to widely adopt ceramic, carbon fiber, and sapphire crystal as case materials, and the brand's in-house UNICO chronograph manufacture movement has earned respect even among traditionalists. Under the creative direction of the late Jean-Claude Biver, the Big Bang became one of the most recognizable watch designs of the 21st century.

Explore Our Collections:

• Big Bang — The flagship chronograph with its signature porthole-inspired case. Available in an extraordinary range of materials including Magic Gold (Hublot's proprietary scratch-resistant 18K alloy), ceramic, carbon fiber, and sapphire crystal.
• Classic Fusion — The dressier sibling with a thinner profile and cleaner dial. Ideal for collectors who want Hublot's material innovation in a more understated package.

Materials That Define the Brand

Hublot's identity is inseparable from its material innovation. Understanding these materials is key to evaluating any pre-owned piece:

Ceramic — Scratch-proof, hypoallergenic, and virtually ageless. A ceramic Big Bang will look identical in ten years as it does today, making it one of the smartest pre-owned purchases in luxury watchmaking.

Titanium — Featherlight yet stronger than steel. Hublot uses Grade 5 titanium across both collections, offering a sporty, modern aesthetic at a lower weight and price point than gold.

Carbon Fiber — Forged carbon cases are ultra-light and visually striking with their random marbled pattern. Each piece is unique, which adds collectibility — but carbon is more susceptible to impact damage than ceramic or metal, so condition grading is critical.

King Gold & Magic Gold — King Gold is Hublot's warmer 18K rose gold alloy with added platinum for durability. Magic Gold is the world's only scratch-resistant 18K gold, produced by fusing gold with ceramic at extreme temperatures in Hublot's foundry.
