Big Bang Unico Berluti White Gray
The infinite possibilities of “white” have breathed new life into the “Big Bang Unico Berluti White Gray”.
Hublot’s iconic Big Bang Unico piece is paired with Berluti’s iconic Scritto Venezia leather in an all-new white-gray color for a noble yet bold design from two of the most exclusive Maisons. .
Big Bang Unico Berluti White Gray Titanium
The polished titanium bezel and dial with directly embossed indices are crafted from the iconic patent-finish Scritto Venezia leather. This leather is sandwiched between two pieces of sapphire glass, and from the center you can see the structure of Hublot’s in-house developed and manufactured chronograph movement “Unico”. The dial uses a technique developed in collaboration with Berluti that locks in the natural color of the leather and crystallizes it over time. The strap is a Japanese-exclusive white-gray Venezia leather with a Scritto motif, symbolizing the perfect fusion of two worlds.

Combining the unparalleled technology and innovation of Hublot and Berluti, the Big Bang Unico Berluti White Gray is housed in a special case that also comes with a travel pouch and a shoehorn key ring emblazoned with the Hublot and Berluti logos. . The 18K King Gold model has 30 pieces and the Titanium model has 100 precious Japan limited editions.
The Venezia leather for this model goes through the same process as the leather used for Berluti shoes: patterning, cutting, assembling the leather pieces, attaching to the watch and polishing. This is a complex and delicate operation, including the neutralization of the leather’s natural ingredients. The partnership between Hublot and Berluti is underpinned by the fine craftsmanship of dial and strap craftsmanship.
The “white-gray” patina is a Japan-only model created by Berluti exclusively for Hublot. This unique patina requires the virtuosity of layering a delicate, translucent film of patina over light-coloured leather. Berluti continues to excel in creating new colors and new patina techniques.
