Hublot has unveiled its latest collaboration with tattoo phenomenon Sang Bleu.
Sang Bleu was founded in 2006 by Maxime Plescia-Buchi, a Swiss tattoo artist perhaps best known for inking the wrists of Kanye West.
He went on to turn the company into a media agency doing branding, design, clothing and a whole lot more.
The Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé, rocking strong Batman vibes, has a 42mm polished black-plated case covered with 180 black diamonds for a total of 2.4 carats.
It is powered by the HUB4700 automatic skeletonised chronograph movement with 50-hour reserve.
The watch comes on a black rubber strap with a black ceramic and titanium folding clasp.
“The Hublot x Sang Bleu creations are the ink of time, carving my artistic vision in a new dimension: time permanently engraved into the geometry of watches,” Plescia-Buchi said.
He added: “My collaboration with Hublot is like an architectural project; the Spirit of Big Bang collection represents the third wall of our shared structure, blending geometric aesthetics with enhanced ergonomics for a unique design. The black-diamond tattoo adds captivating depth to my sharp lines and intricate shapes, reinforcing the three-dimensional design of this tonneau-shaped watch and making it truly unique.”
Hublot CEO Julian Tornare added: “Enduring collaborations define us at Hublot. Our eight-year creative synergy with Maxime Plescia-Buchi has produced unique models fusing geometric design, artistic precision, and profound symbolism – inking the essence of time into watches. Together, we continually push the boundaries of design and craftsmanship, showcasing our innovative spirit and commitment to what makes Hublot unique. From the All Black to the Tonneau-Shape revolutions, our collaboration redefines identity, spatial design and architectural dimension through the distinct geometry and symmetry of Sang Bleu, ensuring our watch designs remain unique.”
The Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé is a limited edition of 200 watches. $POA. hublot.com
