About This Watch
The Hublot Big Bang Sang Bleu II is a collaboration with world-renowned tattoo artist Maxime Plescia-Büchi, the founder of Sang Bleu tattoo studios in London and Zurich. This second iteration pushes the geometric design language even further than the original, with a three-dimensional hexagonal case architecture that transforms the Big Bang silhouette into something entirely unique. The octagonal bezel is overlaid with intersecting geometric planes that create a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, while the dial continues the hexagonal motif with a partially skeletonized construction that reveals the HUB1240 self-winding chronograph movement beneath. The 45mm titanium case is larger than the standard Unico, providing a canvas for the complex faceted architecture that defines this collaboration. Despite the avant-garde case shape, the watch remains surprisingly comfortable on the wrist thanks to titanium's lightweight properties and the conventional lug-and-strap attachment. The HUB1240 delivers a capable chronograph with 72-hour power reserve, ensuring the technical substance matches the artistic ambition. The Sang Bleu II represents Hublot at its most adventurous — a watch that sits at the intersection of haute horlogerie and contemporary art, appealing to collectors who view their watch as a statement of creative individuality rather than mere timekeeping convention.
