White with a Splash of Red
White and red—the colors of the Japanese and Swiss flags—are a fitting palette for the "Aero Bang All White Special Edition," a Japan-exclusive model released in 2014 to celebrate 150 years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Switzerland.
The "fusion" concept, now familiar to watch enthusiasts, is evident in the satin-finished steel bezel and case front. This is elegantly complemented by the white dial, the fiberglass case sides, and the strap, a blend of rubber and calfskin.
The red accents on the chronograph hands, markers, and strap stitching provide a vivid contrast. With a pop of color and an air of luxury, this color scheme is perfect for Christmas. This Japan-exclusive model, limited to 150 pieces, is the ideal timepiece to adorn your wrist for the year's biggest celebration.

The History of the Aero Bang
The Big Bang Embodies the Brand's Concept
First introduced in 2005, the "Big Bang" (pictured right) is a model that embodies Hublot's "fusion" concept. By boldly "fusing" metallic materials with advanced materials like ceramic and carbon fiber, it achieves not only functional superiority but also a cutting-edge design.
The "Aero Bang" was born as a derivative model with a see-through dial. It has since become one of Hublot's core series.
The "Big Bang Gold Ceramic," a classic Hublot model, was unveiled in 2005.
Fusion Extends to the Boutique Interior

The interior, designed by renowned architect Peter Marino, who also designed boutiques on Place Vendôme, reinterprets "fusion." It combines luxurious materials such as bronze, buckskin, and ebony to create a chic space. From December 13th (Saturday) to December 25th (Thursday), champagne service is being offered.
