The latest in the always-high-profile collaboration between Hublot and Berluti is a timepiece that combines Berluti's iconic patina with Hublot's watchmaking expertise.
The infinite possibilities of "white" breathe new life into the Big Bang Unico Berluti White Grey. Hublot's iconic Big Bang Unico is paired with an all-new "white grey" colorway of Berluti's iconic Scritto Venezia leather, creating a noble yet bold design from two of the most exclusive Maisons.
Big Bang Unico Berluti White-Grey Titanium
The polished titanium bezel and dial with embossed indices are crafted from the iconic patent-finished Scritto Venezia leather. This leather is sandwiched between two sapphire crystals, revealing the inner workings of Hublot's Unico chronograph movement, a masterpiece of Hublot's advanced technology. The dial is crafted using a technique developed in collaboration with Berluti that captures the leather's natural color and crystallizes over time. The strap is crafted exclusively in Japan from white-grey Venezia leather featuring a Scritto motif, symbolizing the perfect fusion of two worlds.
Big Bang Unico Berluti White Grey King Gold
Combining the unparalleled technology and innovation of Hublot and Berluti, the Big Bang Unico Berluti White Grey comes in a special case and comes with a travel pouch and shoehorn key ring featuring the Hublot and Berluti logos. These precious Japan-limited models are limited to 30 pieces in the 18K King Gold model and 100 pieces in the titanium model.
The Venezia leather used for this model is crafted using the same processes as the leather used in Berluti shoes: patterning, cutting, assembling the leather pieces, attaching them to the watch and polishing them. This is a complex and meticulous operation, which involves neutralizing the leather's natural components. The partnership between Hublot and Berluti is underpinned by the mastery of dial and strap craftsmanship.
The "White Grey" patina is a Japan-exclusive model created by Berluti exclusively for Hublot. This unique patina requires exceptional skill to apply a delicate, transparent layer of patina to light-colored leather. Berluti has always excelled in the creation of new colors and new patina techniques.
The Big Bang Unico Berluti White Grey is partially skeletonized. The cutwork on the two sapphire crystals that secure the leather to the dial allows a glimpse of the Unico mechanism, a chronograph movement developed and manufactured by Hublot, with a power reserve of approximately three days and a flyback function.
