Hublot

Geneva Week - Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Gold

 

After the announcement of Magic Gold back in 2011 and the limited edition Ferrari Magic Gold, Hublot has been quite quiet on the release of another watch with magic gold… until now!

I have to open by saying that I love this watch! Technically it is nothing new, but for me I think this is best edition of the Big Bang Unico out there, the contrast between the magic gold bezel and the ceramic is just stunning. I already know that I would prefer this to an all magic gold version of the same watch (if it was every launched), just because it looks so striking. The gold bezel, the numerals and small touches just ooze a classy watch and what I think in future will be a real iconic piece for the brand. Normally when you buy a gold watch the first thing that get scratched it the bezel as has first contact generally with a surface, of course this has been overcome so think in 10 years time you will still have a watch that looks new, something similar to my first all ceramic Big Bang bought almost 10 years ago!

The best news is that it is not a limited edition, just limited by production so a piece available to all… is this a negative?  Not really in my opinion as it will be the Big Bang Unico to own and will be on many wish lists for years to come...

Now for the pictures…

The same beautiful (in house) Unico movement
