Geneva, Switzerland — Cutting edge innovation, dramatic complications and spectacular aesthetics continue to be the hallmarks of the house and the house of Hublot remained true to its story line at Watches And Wonders in Geneva which drew to a resounding close last April 2nd. Our two favorites were the house’s very own interpretation of the square watch which revealed an entirely new geometric shape for Hublot. The remarkable Square Bang Unico King Gold Diamonds and the equally remarkable Square Bang Unico Titanium Pavé were both inspired by the house’s iconic Big Bang. This Square Bang Unico adds a new pillar to the collection, The Shaped Collection to sit alongside the spirit of Big Bang. 

The renowned Unico movement, manufactured in-house, has also retained all the distinct features on which its reputation is founded. Set at 4 Hz (28,800 vib/h) and offering a 72-hour power reserve, the prestigious automatic column-wheel flyback chronograph calibre has been named HUB1280. Incidentally, it is perfectly adapted for the square format, allowing it to be admired through the openwork dial, the back of the watch, and now through the sapphire crystal case itself.
