Introducing New Hublot Big Bang Unico All Black Schloss Schauenstein

Hublot has garnered a reputation for its innovative spirit and pioneering use of materials, as well as for its high-profile collaborations with artists and creatives from various fields. We see this in the Big Bang Tourbillon SR_A, designed by Samuel Ross, and in the limited editions influenced by calligraphy artist Wissam Shawkat. This year we saw the Big Bang Titanium Dragon, crafted with artist Chen Fanwan, features mesmerizing dragon motifs, and the Spirit of Big Bang Depeche Mode celebrates the iconic band's legacy with its distinctive design, and the recently introduced Arsham Droplet with contemporary artist Daniel Arsham.

In its latest collaboration, Hublot joins forces with acclaimed chef Andreas Caminada to mark the 20th anniversary of the Schauenstein castle’s restaurant. This milestone is commemorated with the unveiling of the limited-edition Big Bang Unico All Black Schloss Schauenstein.

The Swiss chef, who has been a partner with Hublot since 2017, holds three Michelin stars and 19 Gault & Millau points. He practices his culinary art at Schauenstein Castle in the village of Fürstenau, Switzerland.

As its name indicates, the watch boasts an all-black design with a micro-blasted (sand blasting in a micro level) ceramic case measuring 42mm in diameter and 14.5mm in thickness. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment and is framed by a black-plated titanium bezel with black rubber inserts. Additionally, the case features titanium pushers and ensures water resistance up to 100 meters.

The watch reveals its inner workings through a skeletonized dial, featuring a 60-minute chronograph counter and a date window at 3 o’clock, along with Andreas Caminada's logo on the small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock. It is powered by the HUB1280 Unico calibre, a manufacture automatic chronograph with a flyback function and a column wheel. Operating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), it offers a 72-hour power reserve. The watch comes with a black rubber strap with a black ceramic and black titanium buckle.

The watch is limited to 20 pieces and priced at EUR 29,600, which is equivalent to AED 117,600. Additionally, a unique piece customized with the Fundaziun Uccelin logo was auctioned for charity during the AC Masters event, which took place on June 11th.
