30 十一月 2021 BIG BANG UNICO ARTURO FUENTE CERAMIC Hublot and cigar brand Arturo Fuente y Compañia have once again joined forces to present the Big Bang Fuente Limited Edition watch, in tribute to Carlos A. Fuente Sr., a giant in the cigar industry, a trendsetter, and father and patriarch of the Fuente family. El Maestro! Carlos A. Fuente Sr. was born in 1935 in Ybor City, a Cuban émigré neighbourhood in Tampa, Florida. While still in primary school, Carlos Sr. began working in his father Arturo’s small cigar business. Even as very young children, part of the household duties was to first make 50 cigars a day before they could start their homework. Impassioned by his family and the craftsmanship of making cigars, Carlos Sr. worked alongside his father Arturo until his father’s retirement. Taking over the reins of the family business in 1956, Carlos Sr. was ambitious and sought to expand the business, first in other parts of Florida before setting his sights on New York City. Carlos Sr. successfully enabled the company to flourish in the 1960s. Unfortunately, the United States embargo against Cuba forced the Fuentes to move their cigar production to Nicaragua. However, the family suffered further misfortune when, in 1978, their factory was burned down by Sandinista revolutionaries. Once again, the Fuentes were forced into exile and moved their operations to Honduras. And the adage that 'things always seem to go in threes' came true when, in 1980, the new factory also burned down. "You have a choice: give up or fight on. The first is not an option." Despite this run of bad luck, Don Carlos did not give up the fight, and he opened a new factory in the Dominican Republic. Since then, Arturo Fuente cigars have become one of the most highly renowned and most sought-after brands in the world. 阅读更多 “Arturo Fuente cigars are consistently rated among the best cigars in the world. It was therefore natural that – brought together by our common desire to push the boundaries of excellence, each in our own field – our two companies joined forces and have been partners since 2012. It is in this same spirit that we are taking this opportunity to pay tribute to the patriarch Don Carlos Sr.” Ricardo Guadalupe HUBLOT CEO “The Fuente family and I are very touched to have been able to pay tribute to Don Carlos with this extraordinary timepiece. Each of the patterns which it features reflect something of my grandfather's epic story and his vision, and pay tribute to the values shared by the Fuente cigar company and the Hublot Manufacture.” Carlito Fuente The Big Bang Fuente Limited Edition watch pays tribute to the remarkable saga of Carlos A. Fuente Sr. His vast knowledge of his field, along with his dedication and his vision for his brand, made him a shining light to those who knew him and a reference for the cigar industry. With the help of Manny Iriarte, the Fuente family's designer, the teams at Hublot have infused the iconic Big Bang with all the codes which are so dear to the Dominican cigar company. This starts with its 44-mm diameter case, whose black engraved ceramic picks up the pattern of the tobacco leaf, dancing to the rhythm of the mountain breeze, which is one of the key elements for the Fuente family. The case houses the famous UNICO calibre HUB1242 manufacture movement, a flyback chronograph offering a 72-hour power reserve. The Roman numerals favoured by the Fuente add a remarkable note of authenticity to the timepiece. These numerals are taken from the clock which has historically appeared on the family crest. This is in reference to the Fuente motto: "We will never rush the hands of time." Another emblem, that of a crowned lion, appears at 9 o'clock in recognition that the brand supplied cigars to the Spanish court and in honour of its great patriarch. The back of the watch is engraved with "Big Bang Limited Edition" along with the number of the piece in the limited edition run of 100 pieces. Fuente's historic logo appears in the centre, and its current initials "AF" (for Arturo Fuente) have here been replaced with "CF", in reference to Carlos Fuente Sr., along with the words "Edición de homenaje" (which is Spanish for "edition in homage"). In quotation marks, the dedication by Carlito Fuente Jr. reads: "Our Father, Our Friend, Our Hero." Available in a limited edition of 100 pieces, the Big Unico Arturo Fuente Ceramic comes in a spectacular lacquered wooden gift box which serves as a presentation case for the watch as well as a cigar humidor. 生活方式 阿图罗·富恩特 了解更多 线上和专卖店专享 享受宇舶表全面服务。 宇舶表全面服务确保品牌腕表杰作时刻精准运行。 了解更多 技术规格 表壳 型号 421.CI.0190.VR.OPX21 尺寸 44 毫米 表壳 镌刻微珠喷砂和抛光黑色陶瓷 表圈 镌刻微珠喷砂和抛光黑色陶瓷 防水性能 100米或10ATM 表镜 防眩处理蓝宝石水晶表镜 表盘 蓝宝石水晶表盘 机芯 机芯 HUB1280 UNICO表厂自制自动上链飞返计时机芯配导柱轮 动力储存 72小时 表带和表扣 表带 黑色橡胶和黑色小牛皮 表扣 黑色陶瓷和黑色镀层钛金属折叠表扣 最新动态 基利安·姆巴佩与尤塞恩·博尔特现身BIG BANG之夜 共同庆祝HUBLOT宇舶表的标志性腕表问世20周年 【2025年4月3日，日内瓦】作为“钟表与奇迹”高级钟表展（Watches & Wonders）的一部分，瑞士奢华制表品牌HUBLOT宇舶表于日内瓦体育馆（Geneva Arena）留下了一个值得纪念的夜晚，在两位品牌大使基利安·姆巴佩（Kylian Mbappé）和尤塞恩·博尔特（Usain Bolt）的首次相遇和共同见证下，庆祝其标志性的Big Bang系列问世20周年。这场令人难忘的庆祝活动不仅是对宇舶表的先驱精神的一次致敬，更是对品牌“融合的艺术”（Art of Fusion）制表理念的一曲颂歌。 了解更多 HUBLOT宇舶表臻呈以彩色陶瓷打造的情侣对表 推出青灰蓝及薄荷绿配色的全新BIG BANG UNICO腕表和BIG BANG“一键式”腕表（33毫米） 【4月1日，瑞士日内瓦】鲜艳的彩色陶瓷拥有难以抗拒的魅力，令人心驰神往。瑞士奢华制表品牌HUBLOT宇舶表成功开创先河，不断探索陶瓷色彩的无限可能。此次，品牌为标志性Big Bang系列再添两种全新配色，首次亮相于两组情侣对表，再次展现了其在陶瓷领域的精湛技艺。全新陶瓷色彩男女皆宜，其灵感源自时尚经典的春季色调，既相互映衬又截然不同。它们引人遐想、魅力无限、独树一帜。 了解更多
