A powerful new design where a sharp case meets an integrated, flowing bracelet.

Hublot's 2022 new "Big Bang Integral Time Only" refocuses on the essence of a watch—time, minutes, seconds, and date—without losing the power of Hublot's design codes. The integrated bracelet, paired with the series' first 40mm case, emphasizes the watch's strength.

The iconic three-link bracelet, a symbol of this piece's beauty, mirrors the sharp edges of the case, echoing the vibrant and powerful watch body. Each link is finished with alternating polished and matte satin surfaces, along with chamfering, to capture the full spectrum of light. The new 40mm case harmonizes perfectly with this integrated bracelet, with each component sharpening the watch's appeal.

The "Time Only" is available in three versions: 18K yellow gold, titanium, and black ceramic, all featuring sapphire crystal on the dial and case back, allowing a view of the movement within. Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, commented, "No one could have predicted, nor did we, a Big Bang Integral that was so compact, so vibrant, so powerful, and yet more refined than other timepieces in the collection. Of course, we did. Creating an entirely new form while retaining aesthetic and technical details was a true challenge in watch design. By completing the new Big Bang Integral, we have succeeded in our challenge and once again proven Hublot's diversity and pioneering spirit!"
