The Hublot Big Bang Unico represents the full realization of Hublot’s “Art of Fusion” philosophy — combining materials, colors, and complications that no other brand would dare attempt together. The Unico refers to Hublot’s in-house chronograph movement (Calibre HUB1242), which is visible through the open-worked dial in all its mechanical glory. At Grand Watch Club, our super clone Big Bang Unico delivers this bold statement at a dramatically reduced price.
Hublot: The Art of Fusion
When Carlo Crocco founded Hublot in 1980, his innovation was simple but controversial: a gold watch on a natural rubber strap. The watch industry found this combination inappropriate — precious metals belonged with leather or metal bracelets, not rubber. But Crocco was right about the direction fashion and lifestyle were heading. By the time Jean-Claude Biver revived the brand in 2004 and introduced the Big Bang, Hublot had already established its core identity: fusion of materials, textures, and cultures.
The Big Bang Unico 42mm (the most popular size) combines a case that can be ceramic, titanium, King Gold (Hublot’s proprietary 18k gold alloy), carbon fiber, or “Magic Gold” (scratch-resistant gold ceramic composite) with a skeleton dial that exposes the Unico flyback chronograph movement. The pusher architecture, alternating between polished and brushed surfaces, creates a watch with extraordinary visual complexity. Our super clone Hublot collection captures this complexity.
The Unico Movement: In-House Ambition
The Calibre HUB1242 Unico movement is Hublot’s showpiece — a column-wheel flyback chronograph developed entirely in-house, with the lateral clutch flyback mechanism visible through the skeleton dial. The lateral clutch (replacing the traditional vertical clutch found in most chronographs) allows the chronograph to be started and stopped with better consistency, and the flyback function allows the chronograph to be reset and restarted with a single button press. At 72 hours of power reserve, it outperforms most comparable chronographs.
The movement is decorated with Côtes de Genève stripes on the bridges, black-polished bevels on the plates, and perlage on the base plate — finishing standards typically associated with Swiss manufacture movements costing far more. The resulting view through the skeleton dial is genuinely impressive — a complex choreography of gears, levers, and springs visible in motion during chronograph operation.
Bold or Understated: The Big Bang Design Debate
The Big Bang Unico is unambiguously a watch for those who want to be noticed. At 42mm with thick lugs, pushers, and complex visual architecture, it makes a strong wrist presence. Its many admirers find this boldness refreshing — a watch that doesn’t pretend to be understated. Its critics find it excessive. The question you must answer honestly is: which camp are you in? If you’re drawn to the Submariner’s restraint, the Big Bang might not be right for you. If you want maximum impact from a serious mechanical watch, there’s little competition for the Big Bang Unico.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What sizes does the Big Bang Unico come in?
A: 38mm, 42mm, 44mm, and 45mm. The 42mm is the most popular and balanced for most wrists. The 44mm and 45mm are for those who want maximum presence; 38mm suits smaller wrists.
Q: How does the flyback function work?
A: In a standard chronograph, you must press stop → reset → start for each new measurement. In a flyback chronograph, a single press of the reset pusher simultaneously stops, resets, and restarts the chronograph — essential for lap timing.
Q: Is the super clone Big Bang Unico chronograph functional?
A: Yes. Our super clone features a functioning chronograph with start/stop and reset pushers, providing genuine measurement functionality.
