Hublot Big Bang Broderie - Steel Diamonds and Yellow Gold Diamonds: Hands On Review
Hublot's 2015 novelties are now hitting the street and I have encountered the first batch of those at the boutique.
I would like to introduce you first to Hublot Big Bang Broderie. This is purely for ladies and it is, as the name shows, the fusion of the watches and embroidery. Who else could have thought about combining watches and embroidery?
There are a lot more story than just a watchmaking in this special model and I would like to introduce it to you.
1. The embroider
The embroider chosen for this task is Bischoff, the leader in this field with long history in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Please see some of their products and the factory.
The sketch of the dial design (skull motif) and the embroidered version.
Sketches of the design on the actual watch frame.
Now this is more "serious" version.
And the watch and the embroidered cloth.
2. To the watch
First, they cut the embroidered skull in the dial shape.
.. and the surrounding arabesque pattern for the bezel....
... as well as for the strap....

How to put it on the watch? See this video for the challenge Hublot faced.
3. Hands-On
Can't believe the embroidery is actually ON the strap....
... as well as on the dial... Skull on the dial (and 11 diamonds, too).
See the layers in the bezel, on top of which is the embroidery in the clear resin.
See the "fusion" of the embroidery and the rubber.
Phew! Sorry for the longish report, but all the pics are worth seeing.
Kudos to Bischoff and Hublot for making this happen. I really hope this collaboration continue.... Very nice indeed. Too nice for ladies (kidding!).
Thank you, Hublot Ginza Boutique.

Thanks Ken for the comprehensive article.
You highlighted perfectly the features of these watches. I would see them on a wrist of a gothic lady! Fx
I'm tardy Ken!
I had read your report and thought I replied. You must applaud Hublot's creativity. They leave no stone unturned.
Great report on the Hublot Big Bang Broderie
Hublot has been doing some innovative things and this innovation has a lot of style. Thanks for the great report. Bill
If it were a larger size...
I would love to own the black version(maybe minus the diamonds!). I don't see it particularly as feminine in this combination, but the textures are stunning. Not to fond of the yellow gold, a little harsh for me with the colour but am sure will do well. T...
