Hublot’s longstanding regional partner. Dubai Watch Week, a global celebration of watchmaking and creativity at the heart of the region’s horological culture, provides the perfect platform to honor this shared legacy
On this occasion, Hublot and Seddiqi unveiled two exclusive limited editions: the Hublot Big Bang All Black Ahmed Seddiqi 75th Anniversary and the Hublot Big Bang Titanium Grey Ahmed Seddiqi 75th Anniversary. Each timepiece embodies Hublot’s bold design language and Seddiqi’s timeless legacy, featuring Arabic numerals that honor the region’s heritage and a custom oscillating weight engraved with Seddiqi’s 75th anniversary logo.
The reveal took place at the Hublot booth at Dubai Watch Week, in the presence of Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, and Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, CEO of Ahmed Seddiqi, alongside esteemed guests from the media and watch enthusiats, who gathered to celebrate this milestone partnership and moment in modern watchmaking.
Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, commented,
"Dubai Watch Week perfectly reflects Hublot’s innovative spirit and our deep connection with the region’s collectors and connoisseurs. Celebrating 20 years of the Big Bang alongside Seddiqi’s 75th anniversary is a powerful testament to shared values of creativity, craftsmanship, and forward thinking."
Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, CEO of Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, added,
"Collaborating with Hublot on these special editions for Dubai Watch Week’s 7th edition has been a remarkable experience. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to innovation, design, and excellence - creating timepieces that resonate with collectors across the region. Together, we continue to push the boundaries of watchmaking while celebrating a decade of Dubai Watch Week as a platform for horological creativity and inspiration."
The Big Bang All Black edition, limited to 10 pieces, is crafted in full black ceramic with a 4N 22K gold oscillating weight, representing Hublot’s invisible visibility philosophy. The Big Bang Titanium Grey, limited to 25 pieces, balances exclusivity and accessibility with a polished and satin-finished titanium case. Both models house a self-winding movement with a 72-hour power reserve, and are designed with regional collectors in mind as each features Arabic numerals on the dial, paying tribute to the Middle East’s rich heritage. These elements, combined with the bold design and craftsmanship typical of the Big Bang, make each edition a collectible statement of innovation and exclusivity. The Big Bang Seddiqi 75th Anniversary editions are more than commemorative timepieces; they celebrate 20 years of the Big Bang’s revolutionary design while honoring the cultural heritage of the Middle East. These editions reaffirm Hublot’s commitment to the region, demonstrating how the brand continues to push the boundaries of contemporary watchmaking while creating timepieces that resonate with collectors worldwide.
HUBLOT
In 1980 and for the first time, a watch dared to put a gold case on a rubber strap, turning the luxury watch world upside down in the process. Named for the porthole-shaped bezel with its exposed screws, Hublot was born and with it, the Art of Fusion. In 2005 the brand took this exercise in creative thinking to a new level with the Big Bang and its iconic design, size and layered construction case. That same year, Hublot received the Best Design award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Since then, spurred by this revolutionary mindset, the Big Bang has never stopped reinventing itself. The twenty-first century has its first watch Icon. The concept of fusion is omnipresent, the guiding principle for every collection. Big Bang timepieces reshape the geometries of time; Classic Fusion balances boldness and restraint, while the Exceptional Timepieces overwrite expectations to create unprecedented horological objects. With its disruptive approach of challenging convention, Hublot’s DNA is transcribed in the Unico, MECA-10 and tourbillon in-house movements, to add another tier of meaning to the Art of Fusion. Alchemy is ingrained into Hublot and not just at La Manufacture. Magic can take place on a football pitch, producing partnerships with major events (UEFA Champions League and UEFA EuroTM). Sometimes it happens at a concert, a basketball match, an artistic performance or at a unique gastronomic experience with Hublot’s family of starred Chefs. And so, the Hublot Vibes come to life, through shared moments of exaltation amongst the Hublotistas, its very own community of proud Hublot owners. The Art of Fusion goes beyond the tangible. It is a way of being, the Hublot way of life.
BIG BANG 20TH ANNIVERSARY – A CELEBRATION OF THE BIG BANG REVOLUTIONARY MINDSET
In 2005 the Big Bang marked the advent of a new era in watchmaking, more closely attuned than ever to the privileges of its name. Few timepieces have transformed contemporary watchmaking like the Big Bang. Twenty years after its launch, it remains the incarnation of a Manufacture that constantly pushes the boundaries of the unknown. Through exclusive materials and in-house movements, led by the Unico and the MECA-10, the Big Bang breaks with tradition —a notion it has never completely embraced. Singular for its bold aesthetic, plural for its versatility, this is the Big Bang.
