The present watch is from Hublot's Big Bang series, launched at the Basel World in 2005. The collection is part of Hublot's "The Art of Fusion" concept, incorporating unusual materials such as gold and ceramic, tantalum, magnesium and titanium.

The model was an immediate success and rewarded with several international prizes, notably the prestigious "2005 Design Prize" in the "Geneva Grand Prix d'Horlogerie", the "Sports Watch Prize" at the "Watch of the Year" ceremony held in Japan, and the prize for "Best Oversized Watch" of the Editor's Choice "Watch of the Year" in Bahrain.
Since its introduction into the market, various models of the Big Bang have been developed, presenting watchmaking complications such as tourbillon, big date, split seconds and others, pushing the Fusion concept to the limit in the quest for unusual materials and new alloys.
