Sascha introduces the Hublot Big Bang One Click Marc Ferrero, a collaboration that celebrates the multifaceted 21st-century woman through 'Storytelling Art.' This new release highlights Hublot's 'Fusion' concept, blending innovative watchmaking with contemporary art. The article details the watch's design, inspired by Ferrero's 'Lipstick' artwork, and its technical features.
Dear Friends & Hublotista,
Hublot and Marc Ferrero, the artist behind Storytelling
Art, unveil the Big Bang One Click Marc Ferrero. Paying homage to the 21
st
century woman, who distinguishes herself through the multiplicity of her roles,
in this exclusive timepiece she is embodied as the heroine of modern times. This
collaboration marks an exploratory approach to art and watchmaking.
Big Bang One Click Marc Ferrero
The dial tells the story of this heroine of modern times with âLipstickâ,
an iconic work by the artist. Enigmatic behind her dark glasses, she remains
majestic in the face of the unexpected and affirms her femininity, armed with
her lipstick. Spinels in shades of red, topazes for the turquoise version, and forty-two
fine stones decorate the bezel of the new 39-mm case, which is adjusted to her feminine
wrists. With one touch of its âOne Clickâ patented fastening system, the
leather strap makes way for a version in alligator and rubber, a touch of sophistication
appropriate for the moment. Available in red and turquoise, the special series
will be available in 50 copies of each tone.
Watchmaking and painting in movement: fusion
Hublot and Marc Ferrero cultivate the art of exploration in their respective
fields, with fusion as the guiding principle. For the watchmaking house, it is the
unexpected blend of rare and innovative materials and for the artist and friend
of the brand, it is the combination of different graphic styles on the same
plane.
It was therefore natural for their innovative spirits to find a shared expression, with watchmaking as a vehicle for art. A story of timeless adventures is embodied by the Big Bang One Click Marc Ferrero timepiece. A flagship announcement linking to the âHublot loves Artâ series.
Marc Ferrero
You donât position yourself at the head of a new pictorial trend without
a great knowledge of painting and the major developments that have marked its
history. Marc Ferrero is one of the few contemporary painters who make it
possible to claim that painting can still explore new avenues and continue,
thanks to the power of the imagination, last centuryâs graphical adventure,
which was the richest in terms of pictorial research. Marc Ferreroâs body of
work, associated with the Storytelling Art movement never ceases to intrigue
because it possesses characteristics that are found nowhere else: fictional stories
that take us around the world and refer to all kinds of cultures and invented
characters, like real mirrors of the collective aspirations of our times. A
forgotten mix of all sorts of graphic styles on the same plane, which modifies
the notions of space-time of the pictorial field. An interplay between narrative
breakdowns and variations of planes that allow each Work to be the pretext for
an extraordinary adventure.
Living with a work by Marc Ferrero means giving your walls captivating stories and expanding spaces by following in the footsteps of Lisa Lâaventura, Duke Spencer Percival and Cello Cordoba in an adventure that is called: âOnce Upon a Time La Comitiveâ.
