In celebration of the Chinese Year of the Snake, Hublot has introduced a new limited-edition watch, the Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Snake, limited to just 88 pieces. The snake, a symbol of wisdom, charm, and transformation in Chinese culture, is artfully incorporated into the watch’s design, showcasing Hublot’s commitment to blending cultural tradition with modern craftsmanship.

The watch features a striking three-dimensional, gold-plated snake, which is masterfully engraved using the latest laser technologies and wraps around the chronograph's three counters. This design not only highlights the snake’s symbolic importance but also draws attention to the open dial, which reveals the inner workings of the Hublot automatic skeleton chronograph calibre HUB4700. This movement is a modernized version of the historic El Primero—the first Swiss high-frequency integrated automatic chronograph calibre—enhanced with contemporary innovations such as a low-friction silicon escape wheel.

The Spirit of Big Bang’s barrel-shaped case is crafted from black ceramic and features Hublot's patented One-Click strap-changing mechanism, adding a layer of convenience for the wearer. The ceramic bezel is engraved with a snake scale pattern, which seamlessly continues onto the black rubber strap. This strap, despite its velvet finish and subtle shimmer, is crafted entirely from rubber using an advanced embossing technique that adds depth and texture to the overall design.

This exquisite timepiece is available globally at Hublot boutiques and authorized retailers. As a symbol of innovation and tradition, the Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Snake promises to be a sought-after piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
