Big Bang
The sandwich case as a design principle
The Big Bang translated the 1980 porthole case into a multi-layered construction of metal, ceramic and rubber. It remains the brand's flagship line to this day.
The evolution of the Big Bang
In 2005, under Jean-Claude Biver, Hublot introduced the Big Bang: a 44 mm case built from stacked layers, visible H-shaped screws and an integrated rubber strap.
Ceramic and carbon executions followed in 2006, later joined by Magic Gold, King Gold and titanium. The change of materials effectively became the model programme itself.
In 2013 came the first in-house Unico calibre, with a visible column wheel on the dial side and a flyback-capable chronograph.
In 2016 Hublot's Big Bang Unico Sapphire showed a fully transparent case machined from sapphire, repositioning the line technically.

Key reference numbers at a glance
What to look for when buying
- 01
Limited editions with documented production numbers hold value markedly better than series references.
- 02
Ceramic bezels resist scratching but are vulnerable at the edges; chips cannot be polished out.
- 03
A complete set with spare strap, changing tool and travel case is relevant to value on resale.
