Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé
Hublot’s monochromatic All Black “invisible visibility” concept has revolutionized watch design since 2006, introducing a new approach where aesthetics take precedence over immediate readability. By removing color contrasts and emphasizing varying shades of black through innovative materials, textures, and shapes, this black-on-black design has become a striking expression of understated luxury for nearly two decades. The latest All Black comes in the Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé. Limited to just 200 pieces, this edition features a 42mm polished black-plated case adorned with 180 black diamonds, totaling approximately 2.4 carats. Maxime Plescia-Buchi’s iconic tattoo artistry, defined by sharp lines and intricate geometric patterns, gives the watch its distinctive three-dimensional design. The engraved geometry flows from the case to the bezel, adding depth and texture.

“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. 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 adorning the Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu All Black Pavé add captivating depth to my sharp lines and intricate shapes, reinforcing the three-dimensional design of this tonneau-shaped watch and making it truly unique.” MAXIME PLESCIA-BUCHI-SANG BLEU FOUNDER, HUBLOT AMBASSADOR
