28 June 2023 BUCHERER AND HUBLOT STRENGTHEN PARTNERSHIP WITH TWO NEW EXCLUSIVE BIG BANG UNICO MODELS, AND PLANS TO OPEN A STANDALONE SHOP IN SHOP IN LONDON Today, Bucherer 1888 proudly announces the continuation of its partnership with Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot with the launch of two exclusive watches, and announces plans to open a modern and spacious standalone boutique in Covent Garden this summer. The Big Bang Unico Bucherer Exclusive Titanium and the Big Bang Unico Bucherer Exclusive Ceramic make a contrasting pair of watches that celebrate the Big Bang, Hublot’s flagship collection with an instantly recognisable design. Bucherer revisits the contemporary icon The two exclusive models mark the third time the prestigious brands have collaborated in their long-standing partnership. Hublot’s flagship collection, the Big Bang, has revolutionized the watchmaking universe with its extraordinary design. A contemporary icon, it is constantly reinventing itself – leaving room for all the technical and aesthetic daring. Bucherer’s exclusive editions represent a passion for the cutting edge, striving to surprise customers and bring the unexpected to life in an ever-evolving collection of limited edition timepieces and iconic lifestyle designs. It is these shared philosophies – innovation, disruption and creation – that have culminated in a unique approach to bring the new Hublot timepieces. 더 보기 With a white rubber strap, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Bucherer Exclusive Titanium features an exceptional 42mm polished titanium case, which is offset with a clear sapphire bezel, and signature skeletonised dial. Meanwhile, the ceramic model combines a 42mm micro-blasted black ceramic case with a polished black sapphire bezel and skeletonised dial. The Big Bang Unico Bucherer Exclusive Titanium and the Big Bang Unico Bucherer Exclusive Ceramic boast Hublot’s in-house Unico HUB1280 movement. Beating from within, with a power reserve of 72 hours, this movement showcases an “open heart” to reveal its extraordinary design. This luxurious duo skilfully blends innovation and tradition with an extraordinary combination of materials and revolutionary design to make a strong contemporary style statement. The combination of sapphire, rubber, ceramic and titanium in these new pieces embody Hublot’s ‘Art of Fusion’ whereby innovative materials are created and manufactured using the latest technologies, unique in watchmaking and developed by Hublot. A standalone shop in shop design inspired by ‘The Art of Fusion’ Situated within Covent Garden’s well-established east Piazza at the Royal Opera House Arcade, the spacious new Hublot boutique will have an elegant and sophisticated layout across 50sqm. Hublot is known for its ‘Art of Fusion’, which combines traditional watchmaking techniques with modern materials such as carbon fibre, ceramics and rubber. The new boutique has been designed to align perfectly with this ethos, with a unique combination of highly polished glass, dark wood, floors of marble and cream carpet, and mirrored stainless steel finishes. This aesthetic of high quality materials and contemporary design will offer a modern and luxurious shopping experience to watch enthusiasts and collectors alike, looking for the perfect timepiece. Accompanying the minimal design and chromatic palette are bright and graphic floor-to-ceiling pop artworks depicting Hublot timepieces and movements, which stay true to the brand’s history of artist collaboration and imagery of the manufacture in Nyon, where the research and development, as well as creation of Hublot’s proprietary movements, takes place. Presented throughout the linear architecture in freestanding cases and wall displays will be Hublot’s signature collections such as the brand icon the Big Bang, and other favourites including the Classic Fusion and Spirit of Big Bang, as well as timepieces created exclusively for Bucherer. With a considered, modern design the boutique will offer a welcoming bar and private space for VIP clients to enjoy their visit; the new boutique is a destination where time becomes an art form, and every moment is an opportunity to experience the ultimate luxury. A partnership of shared passions Tradition and innovation go hand in hand at Bucherer, where thanks to a strong entrepreneurial spirit, a great deal of passion and an outstanding feel for trends, the family company – which opened its doors in 1888 in Lucerne – made its mark on the industry right from the very beginning. Strong business ties to the world’s most renowned luxury watch brands have contributed to the continual growth of the company. With a passion for disruption, innovation and collaboration, Hublot perfectly complements the Bucherer portfolio, and the two have shared a strong partnership since 2008. Speaking on the occasion, Patrick Graf, Chief Commercial Officer of Bucherer 1888, said, "having already collaborated with Hublot on a number of limited edition models exclusive to Bucherer, and following years of offering their distinct collections to our clients, we are delighted to build on our strong partnership with two new models and a new boutique in London, a city in which both Bucherer and Hublot already have great presence. We look forward to welcoming new and loyal clients into this sleek, modern space, and are excited to further leverage the collaboration with these new exclusive timepieces.” These exclusives pieces are limited to 30 pieces in each style and available exclusively in selected Bucherer boutiques and Bucherer online in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the United States. “Following the great successes we have seen in our 2021 and 2019 exclusive Bucherer models, and a longstanding partnership since 2008, we are very proud to continue to work with our trusted partner on not one, but two new exclusive timepieces. We celebrate our iconic Big Bang Unico with one model in black ceramic and one in titanium, materials we have respectively mastered in our manufacture” Ricardo Guadalupe Hublot CEO 최신 뉴스 BIG BANG NIGHT: 킬리안 음바페와 우사인 볼트, 위블로 아이코닉 모델 빅뱅의 20 주년을 함께 기념하다. 제네바, 2025년 4월 3일 – 위블로가 워치스 앤 원더스 페어 (Watches & Wonders)의 일환으로 제네바 아레나에서 아이코닉한 빅뱅의 20주년을 기념하는 특별한 밤에 위블로의 앰버서더인 킬리안 음바페와 우사인 볼트의 기념비적인 첫 만남이 이뤄졌습니다. 이 잊을 수 없는 기념 행사는 위블로의 선구적인 정신을 기리는 동시에 브랜드의 DNA인 “아트 오브 퓨전”을 담아낸 의미있는 순간이었습니다. 더 알아보기 위블로의 색채가 만개하다 : 페트롤 블루와 민트 그린 세라믹으로 선보이는 빅뱅 유니코와 빅뱅 원 클릭 33MM 페어 4월 1일, 스위스 제네바- 선명한 색상의 세라믹은 거부할 수 없는 매력을 지니고 있습니다. 그 어떤 워치 브랜드도 시도하지 않았던 영역에 도전하며 세라믹의 가능성을 끝없이 탐구하는 위블로는 두 가지 새로운 색상으로 세라믹 소재의 독보적인 기술력을 다시 한번 입증합니다. 두 가지 상징적인 빅뱅 모델(유니코, 원 클릭)에 처음 등장하는 이 색상들은 유니섹스적인 매력을 지니며, 유행을 따르면서도 세월의 흐름에 변치않는 봄을 상징하는 부드럽고 생동감 넘치는 색감을 담고 있습니다. 이 두 가지 세라믹 색상은 서로 보완적이면서도 확연히 다릅니다. 매혹적이고, 유혹적이며, 그 어떤 것 과도 비교할 수 없습니다. 더 알아보기
