Launched in 2016, the partnership between the most innovative watch brands and renowned men’s fashion brands presents a new interpretation of the Big Bang Unico. The partnership has resulted in the convergence of fashion and time manufacturing, leather and titanium, design and materials.
The new Big Bang Unico Berluti Arminio King Gold is a chic, elegant and timeless timepiece that makes the most of this shared expertise. For avid collectors and watch lovers, this is truly great news. It is a rare model limited to 50 pieces only in Japan.

Berluti’s iconic varnished “Arminio” Venetian leather is made of polished king gold Bezel, dial and strap are used on the dial’s leather surface with indexes and the words “Swiss Made” embossed directly on the surface. The leather dial, flanked by two sapphire crystals, reveals the structure of the company’s Unico, a highly technologically manufactured movement. In collaboration with Berluti, Hublot has developed a technology that preserves the beauty of the leather and retains its natural colours. In addition, the Venetian leather strap with black rubber sewn together is embellished with another Berluti iconic Skrit motif, further perfecting the fusion of the two Maisons.
“Arminio” is one of Berluti’s signature patines, which beautifully projects light into the different tones of Venetian leather. For more than 40 years, Hublot has been developing and manufacturing a wide variety of watch materials, as well as innovative designs. That’s why we were able to create a “big bang” that matches the nuances of Berluti’s burnished leather.
“Big Bang Unico Berluti Arminio King Gold” is partially skeletonized. Through the cutwork on the two sapphire crystals that hold the leather to the dial, you can see the mechanism of the Unico, a chronograph movement developed and manufactured in-house by Hublot, with a power reserve of approximately three days and a flyback function. This rare and contemporary Big Bang Unico Berluti Arminio King Gold also comes with a travel pouch emblazoned with the Berluti logo and a shoehorn key ring in a special case.
This limited edition model will be available for pre-sale at Hublot × BERLUTI ” The Art of Fusion ” in Japan for about one month from Wednesday, November 1, 2023, and at the limited-time pop-up boutique “HUBLOT BERLUTI ” The Art of Fusion ” – A fusion of innovation and heritage that will open at the Hankyu Umeda store from Wednesday, November 1 to Tuesday, November 7.
