A MIX & MATCH EXPLOSION
Watchmaker Hublot and artist Marc Ferrero have joined forces for a new artistic endeavor: telling a story on a watch dial. A fusion between two worlds giving rise to two very colorful limited editions.
When two talented masters of the art of fusion in their respective fields collide, it cannot fail to be astounding, explosive and, above all, a great success, as is the case with this pair of Big Bang One Click Marc Ferrero designs from Hublot. The French artist who skillfully combines different techniques and artistic trends for the storytelling art movement which he created, has left his creative stamp on the dials of two watches decorated with bright graphics.
The timekeeping is regulated by the HUB1710 caliber which offers a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. The automatic-winding movement is housed in a 39 mm steel case and topped with a bezel decorated with 42 blue topazes or red spinels, depending on the version.
The Big Bang One Click Marc Ferrero comes with two easy-to-change straps matching the dial: one made of rubber covered with calf leather cut to form patterns and the other made of alligator with tonal stitching.

The timepiece comes with a black rubber bracelet covered with blue alligator leather and is equipped with a titanium folding clasp which combines comfort for the wearer and security.
As with all Rolex watches, this Oyster Perpetual GMT-MASTER II has the Superlative Chronometer certification which guarantees a precision of -2/+2 seconds.
On the carefully sandblasted dial, the Arabic numerals of the hour markers are finished off with an eggshell tint with a dash of blue. In the center, two pear-shaped hands, in khaki or gold, display the hours and minutes while the seconds are displayed on a small second counter at 6 o’clock. These functions are regulated by the self-winding COSC-certified UN-118 caliber which also offers a power reserve of 60 hours.
