Watch of the Week: Hublot Big Bang Camo Texas
The Lone Star State holds an important place in the universe of Hublot. The brand has two very successful boutiques in Texas, one in Houston and the other in Dalles, with a third opening this Spring in Austin. As Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot’s CEO, explains the love of the brand for Texas “Hublot has always been at home in Texas thanks to our incredible clients and friends. Part of our original North American footprint, we have embraced the State’s bold, adventurous and independent spirit, the same values we are proud to reflect back in this unique timepiece. One of only 25, It is a special piece, for a special place and special people and we think there is no better time than the present to pause a pay tribute to the places we call home – or soon to be home – in the case of our exciting Austin development.”
The Big Bang Camo Texas takes its inspiration from the State’s colors and its extraordinary wildlife. Hublot opted to craft the 44mm case from matte blue ceramic as a nod to the Bluebonnet wildflower, which can be found in the vast natural areas of the State. As the people of Texas love to explore the outdoors, Hublot gave the dial a camouflage motif, which continues in the strap. The red tip of the chronograph seconds hand adds a dash of color, topped off with the signature star at twelve.
More color can be found at the back of the watch, where a sapphire crystal gives us a chance to admire caliber HUB4100, one of the brands’ manufacture chronograph movements. It is surrounded by red, white, and blue as a nod to the flag of the Lone Star State. The Big Bang Camo Texas is very exclusive, as only 25 pieces will be made, which are only available through the Dalles and Houston Hublot boutiques.
