Hublot Big Bang | 18k Rose Gold 44mm Chronograph | 301.PX.1180.RX

The Explosion That Changed Watchmaking

When Hublot launched the Big Bang in 2005, it detonated the conventions of Swiss luxury—and the industry hasn’t been the same since. Awards followed, but more importantly, a new design language was born: audacious, architectural, and unafraid to fuse precious metals with high-tech materials. This 44 mm rose gold Big Bang embodies that original shockwave—still electrifying, still unmistakably modern.

The Architecture of an Explosion

• Reference Number: 301.PX.1180.RX
• Multi-Component ‘Sandwich’ Case Construction: Layered 44 mm architecture combining case, bezel, resin inserts, and caseback for modular strength and style.
• Fusion of Materials: 18k rose gold case, black ceramic bezel, composite resin inserts, and a structured black rubber strap—luxury fused with performance.
• Bezel with 6 H-shaped Titanium Screws: The industrial signature that became a global design code.
• Dial Details: Black dial with applied indices, three chronograph registers, date between 4 and 5 o’clock, and skeletonized luminous hands for legibility and drama.
• Calibre: Hublot HUB4100 automatic chronograph—reliable, precise, and built for everyday intensity.

The Curator’s Insight:
Jean‑Claude Biver’s genius wasn’t just style—it was strategy. The modular “sandwich” case turned the Big Bang into a platform for endless experimentation in materials and textures, creating a universe of possibilities from one radical idea.

A Landmark of 21st Century Design

The Big Bang didn’t just enter the conversation—it rewrote it. This rose gold 44 mm model captures the energy of a new millennium and the confidence of a brand that dared to define modern luxury on its own terms. Two decades on, it remains a true icon—bold, versatile, and instantly recognizable.
