Hublot has never been afraid to experiment. With the Big Bang Meca-10 Concrete Jungle, the Swiss brand returns to the very essence of its disruptive approach: fusing unexpected materials with a raw urban aesthetic. This limited-edition model celebrates contemporary architecture and the frantic pace of major metropolises, with a strong nod to New York City. And as always with Hublot, the style is uncompromising.
The 45 mm case immediately stands out with its unique texture. It is made from a blend of concrete and epoxy resin, reinforced with fiberglass to ensure strength and wearability. This material, rarely used in watchmaking, evokes the massive structures of modern cities all on its own. Hublot turns it into a true aesthetic manifesto, enhanced by the Big Bang's signature exposed screws and a micro-blasted black ceramic bezel. The overall design commands a bold, almost sculptural presence, yet remains perfectly controlled.
The skeleton dial reveals the full complexity of the in-house HUB1201 movement. This manual-wind calibre, designed to offer an impressive 10-day power reserve, showcases its gear trains and barrels through an ultra-technical architecture. The bridges, machined into stylized H-shapes, reinforce the brand's identity while accentuating the three-dimensional effect. Time is read via a pair of central hands, with a power reserve indicator displayed at six o'clock in a style reminiscent of an industrial gauge.
The integrated strap, made of structured black rubber, contributes to this urban vibe. It contrasts with the mineral tone of the concrete, creating an aesthetic balance between modern comfort and visual brutality. As is often the case with Hublot, ergonomics are not sacrificed: despite its dimensions, the watch remains surprisingly wearable thanks to its contained weight and well-thought-out curvature.
The Big Bang Meca-10 Concrete Jungle belongs to a lineage of statement watches that speak as much to the eyes as to the wrist. It is a watch for those who love the city, its energy, its materials, and its contrasts. This is a piece that does not try to please everyone, but fully embodies a vision: that of contemporary, innovative watchmaking, deeply rooted in its time.
