In a captivating celebration of the upcoming Lunar New Year, Hublot, the pioneering Swiss luxury watchmaker, has revealed its latest special edition timepiece – the Spirit of Big Bang ‘Year of the Snake’.

This exquisite creation, limited to just 88 pieces, honours the snake, an animal symbolising wisdom, transformation, and charm in Chinese culture.
Continuing a tradition that began in 2016, Hublot’s Spirit of Big Bang collection annually commemorates the Chinese zodiac with a unique and artistic rendition. For 2025, the snake has been masterfully integrated into the design, ensuring the timepiece is as striking as it is intricate.
The signature open dial of the Spirit of Big Bang showcases a three-dimensional, gold-plated serpent wrapped around its chronograph movement. Crafted using state-of-the-art laser technology, the serpent boasts remarkable detail and lifelike texture. Positioned to appear as though it’s slithering through the chronograph counters, the snake is a visual centrepiece designed to intrigue and captivate.
The barrel-shaped case, made of polished black ceramic, is further enhanced by an engraved bezel featuring a snake scale pattern. This motif extends seamlessly onto the black rubber strap, which shimmers subtly thanks to an innovative embossing technique. The watch is equipped with Hublot’s signature One-Click strap changing system, ensuring both style and functionality.
Powering this extraordinary timepiece is the HUB4700 automatic skeleton chronograph movement, a direct descendant of the iconic El Primero calibre. Offering a 50-hour power reserve, a 5 Hz frequency, and 278 meticulously crafted components, the movement is a testament to Hublot’s dedication to precision and technical innovation.
This exclusive timepiece is not only a symbol of craftsmanship but also a collector’s item with significant value. With a price tag of 31,900 CHF, 36,500 EUR, or 30,100 GBP, the Spirit of Big Bang ‘Year of the Snake’ is available for purchase at Hublot boutiques and authorised retailers worldwide.
