The inventiveness of Lapo Elkann and Italia Independent is put to the service of women, for the first time since the partnership began in 2014
The Hublot Big Bang One Click Italia Independent crafts black ceramic, diamonds and velvet. A deliciously elegant cocktail! A style maximised by the versatility enabled by
the One Click strap’s interchangeable system. A concept of personalisation further enhanced by a material as surprising as it is chic: velvet, a fabric held dear by the Italia
Independent house. It covers the strap and the dial. Three different colours are available: dark blue, blue and purple. And the three can be mixed with a simple click at your
leisure!
“Our partnership with the Italia Independent brand has turned out to be a very wise choice: the unbridled creativity of Lapo Elkann combined with the extraordinary savoirfaire of our watchmakers has already led to the creation of four exceptional joint models, of which we are very proud. It was time to put this unique alchemy into the service of women. And now it’s done, and well done at that: yes, fashion and watchmaking can be perfectly compatible. We are now providing proof of this with this Big Bang One Click
Italia Independent.” Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO, Hublot
Entirely redesigned by Hublot in 2016, the emblematic Big Bang One Click has adopted the visual codes of its predecessor, the masculine Big Bang Unico, while fully asserting its feminine side: it comes with a finely set bezel and has done away with its chronograph. It now also features the One Click system allowing the strap to be changed easily and quickly – an exclusive patent developed by Hublot.
This is what Hublot and Italia Independent used as a basis to develop the first ladies watch to come out of the partnership initiated in 2014 by the Swiss manufacture and Lapo Elkann’s brand. The 39-millimetre diameter case is cut out of black ceramic and encloses an automatic manufacture movement. This Big Bang heart beats at the rhythm of 28,800 alternance per hour and has a 50-hour power reserve. The bezel is set with no fewer than 42 diamonds. And, as it seems that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, its dial features ten more of them, accompanied by the Hublot and Italia Independent logos.
Be Italia Independent: three colours, so three times the opportunity to match your Big Bang to your style, your wardrobe and your mood!

Hublot is presenting at Baselworld 2017, the third Limited Edition of sunglasses created in collaboration with Italia Independent. The sunglasses are characterized by a metal frame which combines lightness and resistance and enhance the know-how of the two companies. The use of precious metals such as gold, is really important, and the contrast between the matt and glossy finish gives an elegant and an original touch to the product. The eyewear is enhanced by the inclusion of two removable eyecups made of Alcantara.
