Since 2016, Hublot, a well-known Swiss watch brand, has joined hands with Berluti, a century-old shoe manufacturer in Paris, to integrate their respective expertise to launch a variety of classic fusion replica watches. This time, with the support of Berluti’s creative director Kris Van Assche, these two masters of material control have launched a new limited edition watch based on the Big Bang Unico chronograph for the first time.

Since 2016, the Swiss watch brand HUBLOT has joined hands with Berluti, a century-old shoe manufacturer in Paris, to launch a number of stunning timepieces. These watches are all based on Hublot’s classic fusion series watches, and they bring together Hublot’s “art of fusion” concept in materials and the ancient dyeing techniques of Berluti patina, each with its own merits.
This time,replica Hublot and Berluti creative director Kris Van Assche set off to design a masterpiece based on the iconic Big Bang Unico chronograph for the first time. Kris Van Assche said: The distinctive and strong modern character of the Big Bang chronograph fully fits Berluti’s current energetic brand strategy. Through in-depth research on the historical archives of the Berluti brand, Kris Van Assche discovered the unique ancient Patina dyeing technique used by the brand in the past. This time-consuming and complex manual leather glazing technique can give the leather thousands of tones, making each piece The works using this technique have a unique charm. Kris Van Assche decided to promote this process to keep pace with the times and named it the cold brown Patina ancient dyeing technique after improvement. Following the traditional process that gave Berluti shoes a reputation, minerals and plants have also been added to the leather tanning.
Relying on the profound knowledge of the Hublot watchmaking team in the field of material application, they learned from the rich experience accumulated in the past cooperation with Berluti and successfully applied this pure Venetian Berluti rust leather to the dial of the Big Bang Unico replica watches. The structure surrounding the brass base encloses the leather between two sapphire mirrors. This is the first time this watch has adopted this design, which fully demonstrates the mechanical beauty of the factory-made UNICO movement gears. The exquisite craftsmanship developed by the brand and Berluti seals the organic elements in the leather, making them seem to fall asleep, thus presenting the enduring natural beauty of natural leather.
Previously, the cooperating watch only used leather for the strap and dial. However, this time cooperating replica watches also adopted another innovative design: the pure Berluti green rust leather was successfully applied to the bezel. This design stems from the development of a new design concept for the watch and involves two parts. The first is leather, which is about 1 mm thick. It is inserted into the black ceramic base with adhesive and rigid resin, and the base is fixed to the case by screws. This process can effectively avoid leather degumming. Just like a watchband, as time goes by, the leather will show an oxidized and charming hue.
This watch is equipped with the iconic UNICO watch factory-made flyback chronograph movement. This MHUB1242 movement plays the rhythm of time in a 45 mm diameter case and provides a 72-hour power reserve.
