Hublot has expanded its Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-Day Power Reserve collection with four vibrant ceramic iterations.
Previously, the model was only available in white ceramic or carbon. Now, collectors can rejoice as the Swiss watchmaker presents the tonneau-shaped timepiece in an exciting choice of red, black, yellow and sky blue.

A Technical Achievement in Colour
The release demonstrates Hublot's proficiency in coloured ceramic production. This material expertise sets the brand apart in haute horlogerie. Moreover, the tonneau profile gains new intensity through monochromatic execution. Each model features a matching bezel and dial that enhance the case's architectural presence.
Additionally, the collection's exclusivity is reinforced by its production numbers: only 20 pieces of each colour variant will be made. Consequently, these timepieces represent a rare proposition for collectors seeking distinctive haute horlogerie.
The HUB6020 Movement
At the collection's heart sits the HUB6020 manual-winding movement. The tourbillon complication appears at 6 o'clock, whilst an off-centre hour and minute dial sits at 3 o'clock. Whereas a power reserve indicator occupies the 8 o'clock position.
The movement offers 115 hours of power reserve—approximately five days. This extended autonomy is notable for tourbillon complications. Additionally, the calibre's extreme skeletonisation creates visual depth. Each component is hollowed to its structural limits, balancing engineering with aesthetics.
A First for Hublot: Customisation
The launch introduces an unprecedented personalisation programme. New owners receive their chosen case colour with two straps: one rubber, one Velcro. Furthermore, they can select from roughly 20 additional bezels and bracelets in various materials. These include carbon and ceramic options, with or without gem-setting.
The One Click interchangeable bracelet system facilitates swift style changes. This customisation approach transforms the Spirit of Big Bang into a more versatile proposition.
According to CEO Julien Tornare, the tonneau format appeals to experienced collectors. The addition of coloured ceramics and personalisation options makes these timepieces distinctly individual. Priced at £86,000, they represent a considered investment in Swiss watchmaking craft.
