Geneva, April 2026. Hublot arrived at Watches and Wonders with the kind of energy that demands you stop and pay attention. Six launches, each technically distinct, each pushing the brand’s Art of Fusion philosophy in a different direction. From a million-dollar diamond tourbillon to a joyful amethyst 33mm, the breadth of the collection tells you exactly where Hublot stands: everywhere at once, and confidently so.
Big Bang Reloaded Collection
The anchor of the entire 2026 presentation, the Big Bang Reloaded, is a thorough re-engineering of the open-worked Big Bang Unico. The multilayer skeleton dial now plays with contrast and texture more aggressively than before: the colour-highlighted column wheel sits at 6 o’clock, the dual oscillating clutch at 8 o’clock, and the redesigned chronograph counter lives at 3 o’clock with a repositioned date between 4 and 5 o’clock.
At the heart of each model sits the HUB1280 Unico, a fully integrated flyback chronograph with 354 components, 43 jewels, silicon lever escapement, five patented innovations and a 72-hour power reserve. The open-worked tungsten rotor features a cut-out H engraved “Hublot. Design. Manufacture. Nyon.”
The 44mm cases span five distinct materials: polished 18K Magic Gold (the world’s first scratch-resistant gold, developed with EPFL), All Black ceramic (20th anniversary of the concept), full-colour blue and dark green high-tech ceramics, and a titanium-plus-black ceramic combination. The two-part bezel structure, secured by H-shaped screws, creates sharp material contrasts. Prices start from 36,900 CHF for the Magic Gold version.
Big Bang Reloaded Usain Bolt
Hublot‘s 15-year partnership with Usain Bolt produced this 200-piece limited edition in satin-finished and polished black ceramic combined with frosted carbon. The skeleton dial is matte black-plated with one standout feature: a lightning bolt-shaped chronograph second hand, a direct reference to Bolt’s signature victory pose. Between 6 and 8 o’clock, the numerals read 6-5-8; flip the perspective and they reveal 9.58, his 2009 100m world record.
The HUB1280 Unico caliber runs at 4 Hz with Jamaica’s green and yellow accents highlighting the column wheel and flyback markers. The frosted carbon upper bezel in polished 18K yellow gold carries the engraved mantra: “Anything is Possible, Don’t Think Limits.” The case-back holds the most emotional detail: authentic soil from Bolt’s Jamaican training ground, encapsulated between two sapphire crystals inside a lightning-bolt shape.
The price: 24,900 CHF, limited to 200 pieces.
Big Bang Reloaded Kylian Mbappé
The first watch co-created with football ambassador Kylian Mbappé arrives in polished white ceramic and 18K King Gold, a combination that reads as sharp and deliberate as his game. The skeleton dial uses matte anthracite ruthenium plating with white accents, and the King Gold-toned number 10 features prominently across the dial architecture.
Technically, the HUB1280 Unico drives this reference with identical specifications: 354 components, silicon escapement and 72-hour power reserve. The 22K King Gold circular satin-finished oscillating weight adds a visual richness to the movement through the sapphire case-back.
The twin-level bezel in 18K King Gold and white ceramic carries the engraved inscription “Trust Yourself” at 6 o’clock, secured by King Gold and black-plated titanium H-screws. Water resistance reaches 100m. The price: 24,900 CHF, limited to 200 pieces.
Big Bang Joyful Steel Purple
The newest addition to the Joyful collection moves in a completely different direction. The 33mm case in satin-finished and polished stainless steel houses a clean, shiny white dial with three hands and a date window, framed by a polished bezel set with 36 individually hand-sourced and hand-set amethysts. Each stone undergoes precise colour and size matching before setting.
The HUB1120 self-winding movement powers the piece with 169 components, 18 jewels, Swiss lever escapement at 4 Hz and a 40-hour power reserve. The polished and microblasted tungsten rotor carries Hublot’s signature design.
The One Click system delivers two interchangeable straps: a white-lined rubber strap with a purple central insert, and a plain white rubber strap. At 10.55mm thick and 100m water-resistant, this is an accessible and wearable Hublot at 12,900 CHF.
Spirit of Big Bang Impact Trilogy
Ten years after the original Big Bang Impact Bang, Hublot returns with three 42mm tonneau-cased limited editions built around the HUB1770 skeletonised automatic caliber, which drives a moonphase at 6 o’clock and a Big Date at 1 o’clock with a 50-hour power reserve at 4 Hz.
The standout release is the Sapphire Jewellery edition, limited to 20 pieces: Hublot sets diamonds directly into a polished sapphire case, a world first for the brand. Sapphire registers 9 on the Mohs scale, and machining it to accept laser-cut mounts for 145 fancy-cut diamonds demands hundreds of hours per case. The dial adds a further 91 fancy-cut diamonds, and the sapphire bezel carries 54 more. Price: 450,000 CHF.
The Sapphire with Osmium edition (30 pieces, 95,000 CHF) uses crystallised osmium, sourced exclusively by Hublot since 2014, alternating with rhodium-plated appliqués on the dial to create an otherworldly, bluish shimmer. The All Black Ceramic edition (100 pieces, 28,000 CHF) marks the 20th anniversary of the All Black concept in polished and microblasted black ceramic, with the Impact motif engraved directly into the bezel.
Big Bang Impact One Million
The crown jewel of the Hublot Watches and Wonders 2026 collection is a direct statement about what happens when haute joaillerie and haute horlogerie share the same address. The 45mm case in polished 18K white gold carries 500 diamonds totalling approximately 44.6 carats: 323 baguette-cuts across the case and case-back, 72 baguette-cuts on the bezel, and 75 fancy-cuts on the dial itself, all Top Wesselton (F-G, VVS/VS) quality.
The dial deploys the Impact motif in three-dimensional form, alternating baguette and fancy-cut stones in radiating patterns using invisible and closed-set techniques. At the centre floats the flying tourbillon: the caliber HUB9015 manual-wind movement with 236 components, 25 jewels, 3 Hz frequency and a 120-hour power reserve. The tourbillon is skeletonised and supported from one side only, with no upper bridge.
Everything here, from the 18K white gold and black-plated titanium folding clasp set with 30 additional baguette-cut diamonds to the sapphire case-back, reflects hundreds of hours of research and setting work. The official price: 1,000,000 CHF / 945,000 GBP. All six Hublot novelties carry the new 5+5 warranty, extending coverage to ten years for eligible Hublotista-registered pieces.
