Hublot and The Hour Glass, a partnership blossoming for over four decades, have once again joined forces to reveal a timepiece that is as playful as it is pioneering: the Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Candy Pink. This limited edition watch is Hublot’s third creation exclusively for The Hour Glass.
This Candy Pink watch illuminates the delightful hue of a sweet bubble gum; a colour that evokes a sense of light-heartedness and pure happiness. This very shade, traditionally associated with gentle calm, embraces the innovative form and materials of a Hublot timepiece. It’s a delightful juxtaposition, a fresh perspective that challenges the conventional notions of luxury watchmaking.
For over 40 years, this collaboration between Hublot and The Hour Glass has been a testament to their shared commitment – a relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries in design, technology, and the meticulous craft of luxury watchmaking. The Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Candy Pink is the latest product of this enduring partnership.
The undisputed star, the defining feature, of this captivating creation is its matt pink frosted carbon case, a pioneering development conceived by Hublot specifically for The Hour Glass. This isn’t just a splash of colour; it’s an intricate fusion of advanced carbon fibre interwoven with vibrant candy pink composite elements. The result is a visually striking marbled effect, each swirl and vein of pink unique, thanks to the meticulous layering process that ensures no two cases are exactly alike. Yet, beneath this artistic flourish lies the inherent strength and remarkably lightweight nature of carbon fibre.
The tonneau-shaped case, a comfortable 44mm on the wrist, is punctuated by Hublot’s signature six H-shaped microblasted titanium screws, their polished finish adding a subtle gleam against the matt pink. Peeking beneath the sapphire crystal, the open-worked dial reveals the intricate mechanics within, showcasing Hublot’s horological prowess. The hour markers themselves are painted in that same vibrant candy pink colour. This playful hue extends to the logo, the slender hands, the frame of the date window, and the indicators on the chronograph sub-dials, creating a cohesive and eye-catching aesthetic. It’s truly a fun watch to own, especially if you like pink!
Turn the watch over, and the caseback, secured by more titanium screws, is engraved with the words “SPECIAL EDITION” alongside its individual number within the limited run of just 30 pieces. Adding to the versatility of this striking timepiece are two strap options. The first is a “Candy Pink” structured rubber strap, specifically designed to complement the watch’s vibrant character. For those seeking a more refined, understated look – an all-black rubber strap is also provided. Swapping between these straps is effortless, thanks to Hublot’s ingenious patented “One Click” system. Even the buckle hasn’t escaped the candy pink touch, proudly displaying an engraved pink Hublot logo.
This sweet and spirited timepiece – the Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Candy Pink for The Hour Glass – retails at SGD 46,200 and is exclusively available at The Hour Glass boutiques in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
