The partnership between Hublot and DJ SNAKE began in January 2018, and three years later, the first collaborative watch from this partnership, the Big Bang DJ SNAKE, was born. The iconic design of the Big Bang, which is emblematic of Hublot, reflects a myriad of colorful lights.


The bezel and six titanium parts of the 45mm case are decorated with "Newton Rings" processing. While this process is technically similar to black PVD coating, the desired color is achieved by applying color and precisely positioning the components. The result is a visual effect in which the color changes depending on the light and viewing angle. Furthermore, before the process is applied, the surface of each component is hardened to enhance adhesion. Achieving the same color gradient on all 100 watches is an extremely difficult and complex task.


The cuts around the outer edge of the bezel were designed by DJ SNAKE himself. This unique cutout is what makes the Big Bang DJ SNAKE instantly recognizable and sets it apart from other collections. This watch embodies Hublot's philosophy of "Art of Fusion," which is so important to the brand.

The sapphire crystal dial features a world map in the same color as the case. The globe is DJ SNAKE's signature, a nod to the globe he travels for live shows and the global reach of his hit songs. The lower section is skeletonized, revealing the black smoke-finished components and mechanical movement.


This skeletonization reveals the flyback chronograph caliber HUB1242 "Unico" movement with a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.


The Big Bang DJ SNAKE, limited to 100 pieces, is available with two straps that can be easily interchanged using the patented "One Click" system. It comes with a black rubber strap as well as a gray, black, and purple camouflage-patterned rubber strap that reflects the various colors reflected from the watch case. The strap clasp also features the same "Newton Rings" pattern as the case and bezel.


DJ SNAKE is a massive presence in today's music industry. This electronic music star first caught the public's attention with his 2013 album "Turn Down For What." Since then, he's released a string of hits, including "Lean On," "Loco Contigo," "Let Me Love You" with Justin Bieber, and "Selfish Love" with Selena Gomez. He's also released a string of collaborations with Diplo, Kanye West, Lil Jon, and more. DJ SNAKE is the first French artist to have two songs reach one billion streams on Spotify and has won numerous awards, including a Billboard Music Award, an MTV Music Award and several NRJ Music Awards.


"Being able to wear a watch that expresses my individuality and offering it to my fans has been very important to me since I partnered with Hublot. I am honored to be able to combine my inspiration with the expertise of the Swiss Manufacture's incredible watchmakers and technicians."
DJ SNAKE

"DJ SNAKE makes everything sparkle! I am thrilled to bring his extraordinary creativity to bear on this new limited edition model. The result is a timepiece as versatile as DJ SNAKE's talent!"
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot

The timepiece, Big Bang DJ SNAKE, has as many different expressions as the talented artists who inspired it, and will be sold at Hublot boutiques and Hublot e-boutiques in Japan.
