The Best-Looking Hublot of 2023

You can hate or love Hublot, but everyone has to give them credit for making unique watches.

 

Ill tongues often try to shame and disgrace them for various reasons, but no one can think of such crazy and unbelievable material and color combinations as this Swiss-Italian watchmaker.

 

Their watches are the very definition of the new era of watchmaking.

One of the best examples is this year's release, a breathtaking and quite stunning watch from the Big Bang line - the Tourbillon SR_A by Samuel Ross.

 

The collaboration between Hublot, a Swiss luxury watchmaker, and Samuel Ross, a British fashion designer, creative director, and artist is a result of a three-year engineering process that involved creating a new development from scratch, from the case to the crown, to the dial, strap and bezel.

The watch features a self-winding tourbillon movement, a sapphire crystal dial, and a micro-blasted titanium case with a hexagonal honeycomb pattern. It’s available in three colors: grey, black, and vivid green.

 

The design of the watch reflects Samuel Ross's artistic vision and his exploration of social architecture, abstraction, brutalism, and deconstruction.

Ross is known for founding the fashion label A-COLD-WALL*, the industrial design studio SR_A, and the Black British Artists Grants Programme.

 

He has also collaborated with brands such as Apple, LVMH, and Nike.

 

Ross's style is influenced by his background in graphic design and illustration, as well as his mentorship by Virgil Abloh and his work for Kanye West's creative content company Donda.

 

The watch is an awesome piece of art and technology since it combines the craftsmanship and avant-garde approach of Hublot with the creativity and sophistication of Samuel Ross.

It’s a limited edition of only 100 pieces, making it a rare and exclusive item.

 

The timepiece is also a statement of social and cultural relevance, as it represents the collaboration between two different worlds: the Swiss luxury watch industry and the British streetwear scene.

And this is what Hublot is about - a symbol of the fusion of art and science, of tradition and modernity, of elegance and edginess.

 

Although the designs can be too extravagant for some people, the message resonates with everyone.
