Hublot has once again redefined the boundaries of horology with the launch of the Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic, the world’s first multicolor ceramic watch. This limited edition timepiece, restricted to just 20 pieces, represents a groundbreaking achievement in material science and watchmaking craftsmanship.
Innovation at the Core
For over a decade, Hublot has been a pioneer in the development of colored ceramics, maintaining its position as the only watchmaker capable of producing such vibrant materials in-house. The introduction of Magic Ceramic—a multi-colored ceramic developed through years of meticulous research—marks a revolutionary moment in the industry. Unlike traditional ceramic coloring, which relies on simple layering techniques, Hublot’s innovation balances pigments and baking temperatures with precision, ensuring flawless integration of color throughout the material.
According to Mathias Buttet, Hublot’s Director of R&D, the project took over four years to perfect. “I feel immense pride in seeing our team bring to life a material that perfectly embodies Hublot’s soul: a subtle blend of science, alchemy, and playful boldness. Thanks to the creativity and talent of our young engineers, Hublot’s scientific approach and innovative spirit will continue to astonish.”
Aesthetic Brilliance Meets Technical Mastery
The Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic showcases this patent-pending material in an extraordinary way. The bezel, crafted in dark grey ceramic, gives way to vivid blue circular patterns that appear to organically form across the watch’s surface. The effect is nothing short of mesmerizing, akin to a work of contemporary abstract art seamlessly embedded into a high-tech timepiece.
At the heart of the watch beats the UNICO automatic flyback chronograph movement, a Hublot in-house creation finished in a grey tone that matches the ceramic’s dominant shade. Completing the avant-garde aesthetic is a black lined rubber strap, a signature Hublot element that blends comfort with modern style.
A Limited-Edition Legacy
With only 20 pieces available, the Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic is a collector’s dream and a landmark moment in horology. It not only pushes the creative and technical boundaries of ceramic craftsmanship but also sets the stage for future innovations from the Swiss watchmaking powerhouse.
As Hublot continues to explore new frontiers in material science, the future of watchmaking is bright, bold, and undeniably multicolored.
