Christianch's detailed review of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Rainbow offers an intimate look at a timepiece that challenges conventional aesthetics. His post provides a valuable perspective on the watch's craftsmanship and wearability, making it a relevant read for collectors interested in bold horological statements. This article synthesizes community reactions to Christianch's acquisition, exploring the nuances of owning such a distinctive watch.

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to share some photos of my recent addition, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Rainbow🌈. 

Hublot describes this amazing timepiece as "a stroke of daring, a stroke of brilliance," which I think captures its essence perfectly.






This 42mm watch isn't just eye-catching—it showcases skilled craftsmanship as well. The 18K white gold bezel is adorned with 48 baguette-cut colored sapphires, amethysts, rubies, topazes, and tsavorites. The titanium case features 170 gemstones, including rubies, pink sapphires, amethysts, blue sapphires, blue topazes, tsavorites, yellow sapphires, and orange sapphires.



At its core, the watch is powered by the HUB1280 UNICO Manufacture Self-winding Chronograph Flyback Movement with Column Wheel. 


The strap is just as striking, featuring a vibrant rainbow of colors that complements the watch's design beautifully.







For those who prefer something a little more subdued, I've included photos of the watch with a racing grey strap. I think this alternative gives it a more understated feel. What do you think about this strap option?







I am absolutely thrilled with this watch ❤️ and can't wait to hear what you all think, whether you love it or not! I always enjoy engaging in conversations and hearing different opinions.

Thanks for checking this mini-review!

I couldn't ever pull off the look -- it's just too much for me -- but I think it's a very visually pleasing design. The watch definitely screams out; and you can't avoid noticing it. Both straps are nice, but the gray one better allows attention to focus on the jewel-set watch head, so perhaps its better in that regard. Enjoy! John

to live in Switzerland, so that alleviates the issue to some extent. Otherwise, I'd never be able to pull off wearing that watch on the rainbow strap, it would have to be the grey one, and even then I'd be far too self-conscious about it most of the time....

I have been wearing a lot the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Magic Red which is also pretty bold so may fits my latest acquisitions! is bold, but actually not that much not being in Gold. I like your opinion on the straps. Both are great but the grey does tone it down quiet a bit.

I regularly see people with much more expensive (OK but perhaps not as flashy but still Richard MIlle, Nautiluses etc.) watches around. But I guess it depends on lifestyle too, I don't really go in dangerous places. Sad that in many countries there is not the same level of tranquillity.
