As the lead up to SIHH 2016 continues, Hublot earlier this week announced the latest addition to its Big Bang family of timepieces. The Hublot Big Bang 41MM Broderie Sugar Skull is billed as a watch that blends “confident femininity and innovation at its very peak.”
The black watch dial features a funeral skull that may well have been inspired by Mexican culture. The skull motif is embroidered in vibrant splashes of turquoise, navy blue, pale pink, fuchsia, yellow, orange and violet courtesy of the Lurex thread used (a synthetic thread on which is vaporized a metallic aluminium, silver, or gold layer). 11 red spinels compliment the dial’s embroidery while another 36 encircle the 41mm black ceramic case.
As an inexhaustible source of inspiration, and interpreted in an unexpected manner, the embroidery of Saint-Gall is transposed into the art of fusion to reveal all of its modernity and creative potential for the Big Bang Broderie Sugar Skull.
The embroidery extends down to the strap of the Big Bang Broderie Sugar Skull. A series of brightly coloured arabesques, again made with Lurex thread, decorate the black strap.
It’s not the first time that Hublot has offered a watch featuring embroidery. It already offers a line of Big Bang Broderie watches.
Expect to see the Hublot Big Bang 41MM Broderie Sugar Skull at SIHH 2016 which runs from January 18th to January 26th 2016.
