Hublot is taking the next step in the evolution of the ‘Art of Fusion’. They drop a new collaboration with Fiat heir, style icon and entrepreneur Lapo Elkann, and his Garage Italia. The place in Milan where the world of automotive meets that of fashion and design, they render a new Big Bang. It is not the first time that they work together as Elkann has also been involved in creating the Classic Fusion Italia Independent, along with top tailor Rubinacci. And also the charismatic Classic Fusion Chronograph for his own brand. Now they debut the Big Bang Millennial Pink, which is a gender-neutral watch. (Source: Haute Time)

The Gender-Neutral Watch

This is quite something to say about a watch on which almost everything is pink, a colour in most cultures associated with women. Elkann says about this; ‘At Garage Italia, we want to be part of a world where the character of every person is defined by their love of life and their inclusivity, rather than by the power of their superiority.’ The perception of the colour of this Big Bang is part of this. What is pink for some, may others view as salmon, apricot or grapefruit, and with this Hublot, Elkann and his Garage Italia are trying to break the gender barrier. (Source: Haute Time)

Technical Specifications

Creating a Big Bang in this colour is, by itself, not an easy task. Hublot utilized its significant expertise and applied the colour through a process called anodization on an aluminium case. This not only colours the case but also protects it. Because of its light-weight base material, Hublot kept the weight of this 42mm large watch low. This allows it comfort for everybody, regardless of their wrist size.

The Big Bang Millennial Pink draws power from Hublot’s manufacture chronograph calibre HUB1280 and comes with two straps. One is a rubber strap in millennial pink, while the other is made from a combination of Velcro and a knitted PES fabric. Switching between them, or another strap from Hublot’s collection is a breeze thanks to the patented One-Click system. Hublot will make only 200 pieces of the Big Bang Millennial Pink, which will be available at their boutiques and selected retailers. (Source: Haute Time)
