Famed for their unique aesthetics and wild designs, Hublot are a brand that have driven the watchmaking industry’s ever-evolving expectations of what a watch should look like. While it began with their “Art of Fusion” movement in the 1980s by combining precious metals with rubber straps, their modern day watches continue to be aesthetically and visually unique, much like this Big Bang "King Power Alinghi”. Launched in 2010 in collaboration with the Alinghi sail team, this watch was inspired by Alinghi’s Defender Yacht, which raced in the America’s Cup. Unveiled by Ernesto Bertarelli and Hublot’s CEO at the time, watchmaking visionary Jean Claude Biver, the Big Bang "King Power Alinghi” boasts an entirely blacked-out design with a sand-blasted ceramic and titanium case, a black rubber strap and a blacked out dial with Alinghi’s red logo at 9 o’clock that adds a bright punch of color to the stealthy timepiece. Powered by the automatic cal. HUB4400, which is on display behind its exhibition caseback, this unique timepiece carries on Hublot’s tradition of creating visually distinguished timepieces that break from convention and offer something unique and interesting.

Watch is in excellent overall condition. There are minor signs of wear on the surface, with a few tiny scratches and marks visible on the black surface. Please note, on the caseback at the 3 and 9 sides, this is the result of the watch sticking to the cuff inside the box and not damage on the watch. It will easily wipe off. Watch comes with a service paper from 2021 by Hublot HK.

A visually complex watch, even with its stealthy design, the King Power Alinghi continues Hublot's tradition for pushing material science and creating timepieces that exceed expectations in every way possible.
