Geneva Trade Show Preview: The Hublot Big Bang Zebra Bang
The Geneva Trade Show is getting closer and closer, and Hublot will have the Kempinski Hotel Geneva’s first floor the entirety of the event. As a sneak preview of what will be on display January 21-25, 2013, Hublot has released early images of its newest entry in its Big Bang line of timepieces, the Zebra Bang.
Following the success of the Leopard Band and Boa Bang watches, it was the right moment to unveil the zebra-striped version; runways and fashion shows are all using the sexy and cool print which is now seen on fashionable people everywhere. The black and white brings together day-time elegance and night-time edginess.
The 41mm diameter, black ceramic watch features a bezel set with 48 topazes with baguette-cut spinels. The zebra-print dial is highlighted with eight small diamonds set into the bezel in order to capture scintillating light. The timepiece, which should delight fine watchmaking connoisseurs, also has a HUB4300 Automatic Mechanical chronograph movement as is watertight to 100 metres.
The strap is zebra print calfskin leather that has been sewn onto black rubber, making the watch just as comfortable as it is fashioned. The timepiece will also be available in steel and in 18K red gold versions; only 250 pieces in each version will be available.
Hublot has also requested that clientele and media representatives “Save the Date” for Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 5pm; the haute horlogerie manufacture will be hosting the Hublot Welcome Cocktail. The event will take place in the Hublot private lounge at the Grand Hotel Kempinski’s first floor.
