Hublot revolutionizes tourbillon design with the Square Bang

Based in Switzerland, Hublot has made a significant leap in watch design with the introduction of the Square Bang Tourbillon 4-Day Power Reserve. This innovative model marks the first appearance of a tourbillon within Hublot’s square-shaped Big Bang line. Unlike traditional approaches, Hublot completely redesigned the movement architecture to integrate seamlessly with the square case proportions. The new manually wound MHUB6023 movement features 174 components arranged in a balanced, symmetrical layout. Such commitment to an entirely new design approach highlights Hublot’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of traditional watchmaking. The components of the watch are thoughtfully laid out with the winding mechanism on the right, the power reserve indicator on the left, the mainspring barrel at the top, and the tourbillon gracefully positioned at the bottom. This configuration serves not only an aesthetic role but also ensures optimal functionality of the timepiece. The integration of the flying tourbillon with a silicon escapement enhances the watch’s durability against environmental factors, further establishing the model's innovative character and technical proficiency. The striking 42mm case is crafted from 3D carbon, a sophisticated composite material, showcasing intricate vertical and horizontal weaving. This choice of materials not only contributes to the watch's modern aesthetic but also maintains a lightweight structure. Accompanying the watch is a strap that features Hublot’s ‘One-Click’ quick-release system, allowing for easy customization. A ceramic and titanium deployant clasp ensures a secure fit while maintaining a sleek look. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters, suitable for daily wear, while the openworked sapphire dial provides a clear view of the intricately designed movement inside. Hublot’s focus is on architectural impact, prioritizing clean lines over excessive dial decoration. This new release exemplifies Hublot’s philosophy of experimentation and innovation, positioning the brand as a leader in modern watchmaking.
