The 2025 Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary ‘Master of Sapphire’ collection, unveiled at Watches & Wonders, marks a significant milestone in Hublot’s pioneering journey with sapphire watchmaking. This stunning set comprises five 44mm polished sapphire timepieces, each showcasing a unique hue: Transparent, Water Blue, Deep Blue, Purple, and the vibrant Neon Yellow SAXEM. These watches embody Hublot’s celebrated “Art of Fusion” philosophy, seamlessly blending cutting-edge materials with haute horlogerie.
At the heart of each watch lies the HUB1201, a manual-winding skeletonized movement, a testament to Hublot’s technical prowess. This in-house caliber boasts an impressive 10-day power reserve, visible through the transparent sapphire dials, creating a captivating visual display. The Neon Yellow SAXEM variant stands out with its radiant glow, achieved by fusing sapphire with rare earth elements, surpassing the luminosity of traditional sapphire.
The construction of these watches is equally remarkable. The sandwich-style cases, with visible bolts and dual sapphire crystals, offer 50-meter water resistance, balancing aesthetic appeal with practical functionality. Color-matched lume accents on the hands and chapter rings add a playful yet functional touch. The ergonomic One Click strap system ensures comfortable wear, despite the watches’ bold 44mm size.
Priced at $605,000 for the set, these watches are aimed at serious collectors who appreciate Hublot’s audacious design and technical innovation. With only five sets available worldwide, they represent a rare opportunity. For those seeking a similar aesthetic, high-quality replica watches can be found at x-watches.co.
