The partnership between Hublot and Berluti began in 2016. HUBLOT × BERLUTI has released a new work, “Big Bang Unico Berluti Arminio King Gold,” which is a new interpretation of “Big Bang Unico.”
Find out more about the timepieces created by the fusion of fashion and watchmaking, leather and titanium, design and materials.
A fusion of two Maisons with a tradition of watchmaking and shoemaking, masterful of technical excellence
The new Big Bang Unico Berluti Arminio King Gold is a chic, elegant and timeless timepiece that makes the most of the combined expertise of both companies. It is a rare model limited to 50 pieces only in Japan.
Berluti’s iconic Varnished “Arminio” Venetian leather is used on the polished king gold bezel, dial and strap, with indexes and the words “Swiss Made” embossed directly on the leather surface of the dial.
The leather dial between the two sapphire crystals reveals the structure of the company’s uncotic movement, which is the crystallization of advanced technology.
Through collaboration with Berluti, Hublot has developed a technology that preserves the beauty of the leather and locks in its natural colours.
In addition, the Venetian leather strap with black rubber sewn together is embellished with a Skrit motif, another symbol of Berluti, making the fusion of the two houses even more perfect.
“Arminio” is one of Berluti’s signature patines, beautifully projecting light into the various tones of Venetian leather.
For more than 40 years, Hublot has been developing and manufacturing not only innovative designs but also a wide variety of watch materials. That’s why we were able to create a “big bang” that matches the nuances of Berluti’s burnished leather.
The “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 about three days and a flyback function.
This rare and contemporary Big Bang Unico Berluti Arminio King Gold is also included in a travel pouch emblazoned with the Berluti logo and a shoehorn key ring in a special case.
