Hublot and Maxime Plescia-Buchi, the Swiss tattoo artist behind Sang Bleu, have redefined the intersection of tattoo artistry and horological craftsmanship with the release of the Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé. This watch is a statement of innovation, blending Hublot’s avant-garde aesthetics with the geometric precision of Sang Bleu’s designs. From the outset, Hublot has been a trailblazer, merging avant-garde materials with groundbreaking designs.

In 2006, the brand unveiled the “All Black” concept, a monochromatic design ethos that challenged the industry’s reliance on contrast and colour. Instead, Hublot emphasised the interplay of shapes, textures, and finishes to create timepieces that are as much art as they are instruments. The Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé elevates this philosophy, fusing it with Plescia-Buchi’s distinctive tattoo-inspired geometry to produce a creation that captivates the eye and stirs the imagination.

This watch is not just a tribute to Hublot’s and Sang Bleu’s shared journey of innovation—it is a bold statement of individuality and artistry. By integrating black diamonds, engraved geometry, and a technical movement of remarkable precision, the Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé embodies a modern vision of horological art that resonates far beyond the wrist. This masterpiece heralds a new era of collaboration and creativity, redefining the very idea of what a watch can represent.

Since 2016, the partnership between Hublot and Sang Bleu has continually pushed boundaries in watch design. Their collaboration has produced over a dozen designs that transform intricate tattoo motifs into three-dimensional timekeeping masterpieces. The Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé is the latest chapter in this journey, embodying the artistic evolution of their shared vision.

Hublot introduced its “All Black” concept in 2006, a monochromatic philosophy that emphasises form and texture over colour contrast. This idea finds its ultimate expression in the Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé. By embedding black diamonds into a tonneau-shaped, black-plated case, the design achieves a strikingly modern interpretation of minimalism—one where “invisible visibility” reigns supreme.

The Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé is characterised by sharp, precise lines that flow seamlessly from the case to the bezel, creating a dynamic sense of movement. The 42mm polished black-plated case is set with 180 black diamonds, totalling approximately 2.4 carats. These diamonds are not merely decorative; they enhance the play of light, accentuating the tattoo-like geometry etched into the case and bezel.

The watch is powered by the HUB4700 self-winding skeleton chronograph movement, known for its precision and engineering excellence. With a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 50 hours, the mechanism is a testament to Hublot’s commitment to technical innovation. The watch is paired with a smooth black rubber strap, ensuring comfort without compromising style, and features a black ceramic and titanium deployant clasp.

Hublot is debuting this exceptional model in China, underscoring the significance of the region as a growing hub for fine watchmaking and design innovation. The launch serves as a prelude to its wider release, allowing collectors in one of the world’s most dynamic markets the first opportunity to experience this masterpiece.

The Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé is more than a watch; it is a testament to the fusion of art, design, and horology. In its bold geometry and meticulous craftsmanship, it exemplifies the innovative spirit that defines both Hublot and Sang Bleu. For those fortunate enough to acquire one of the 200 pieces, it promises not just a timekeeping device but a piece of modern history, worn on the wrist.
