Inspired by the sweeping arches of the Golden Gate Bridge, the piece pops with the signature orange bezel that signals home to San Franciscans the world over. Time and tribute further combine with the silhouette of the bridge overlayed at 9 o’clock. In a limited release of only twenty pieces, the timepiece is powered with Hublot’s in house Unico movement, and this 45mm skeleton piece offers the flexibility of two interchangeable straps – black rubber and orange Velcro – for whatever adventures the boundless city has in store.
To herald the new timepiece, Hublot celebrated the city in partnership with local creative Justin Walter, showcasing the timepiece in a photographic series of landmark locations.
“San Francisco is a city of such natural and cultural riches, golden by name, it is also golden by nature. We are delighted to dedicate this timepiece to the place and people that move the world forward with endless innovation and creativity”, said Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO.
Because no day by the bay is complete without a world class cocktail hour, Hublot celebrated the launch with an instore event at the Hublot San Francisco boutique where VIP guests were given first access to the highly limited release.
Big Bang Unico San Francisco Boutique 45mm Limited Edition is available exclusively at Hublot San Francisco boutique and available on eCommerce, priced at $22,500 USD.
