The 2015 is the 10th anniversary of Hublot’s iconic model, Hublot Big Bang. The bold shaped watch is instantly recognisable, and has been so phenomenally successful that it now lays serious claim to being considered an icon of not just modern watch design, but watch design immemorial. Given the brand’s meteoric rise under the leadership of Jean Claude Biver it might be surprising to know that Hublot has quite a long history – being founded in 1980 by Italian Carlo Crocco. What might be even more surprising is that many elements that are synonymous with the Big Bang exist on the original model from 1980. The hooded lugs with exposed screws, the rubber strap and the screwed down bezel which, like other popular ’70s and ’80s designs is based on a ship’s porthole. In fact the name Hublot comes from the French word for porthole.

The story of modern Hublot begins in 2005 when the revitalised brand launched the Big Bang at Baselworld. It retained the spirit of fusion explored in Crocco’s original designs, but supersized them. It captured the spirit of the times, and the unconventional watch design had a sensational impact. With the Big Bang, Hublot created a new universe. True to the same concept as the first Hublot 25 years prior, it was a combination of unusual materials presented in a bold way. Very recognizable as a Hublot—yet at the same time refreshingly different—the concept of evolution through revolution materialized. The niche brand was thrust into the spotlight with the Big Bang, awarded the prize for Best Design at the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève—and their orders tripled.

Replica Hublot Big Bang 38mm

Hublot Big Bang 38mm is the ladies watch, and the designers have produced luxury watches of extraordinary color and sparkle. The Hublot Big Bang 38mm have the great look of the Big Bang series on a slightly smaller watch. On the Hublot Big Bang 38mm, the designers of Hublot Watches have created luxury timepieces with unusual gems such as tsavorite, spinel and pink sapphire. Tsavorite resembles emerald but is harder and less likely to crack. Spinel looks like ruby and was once thought to be the same stone, but spinels can be more valuable than rubies. Spinels occupy an honored place in the British crown jewels and other fabulous jewel collections. While most sapphires are blue, the stone can also occur in orange and pink. Of course, some of these luxury timepieces have diamonds, the perennial favorite. More Replica Hublot Big Bang 38mm Watches.

Hublot Big Bang 41mm is one of the variations on this successful design. This is the mid-size line, between the 38mm and 44mm sizes. Some of these luxury watches have the black-on-black dials that have appeared in other Hublot watches, while others have light faces. The bezels of these luxury watches are anything but reserved, sporting an array of precious stones and metals. Hublot describes the colors of their luxury timepieces as “Tutti-Frutti,” and it only takes a glance at the watches of the Hublot Big Bang 41mm line to see why. Those brilliant hues are tsavorite, pink sapphire and yellow sapphire, three unusual gems that Hublot Watches have used to great advantage in the past. More Replica Hublot Big Bang 41mm Watches.

Replica Hublot Big Bang 44mm

Hublot Big Bang 44mm has given birth to various descendants, it remains the originator of the style and will never lose its popularity. Here the classic shape of the Hublot Big Bang 44mm with its porthole bezel is expressed in different colors and materials. Tantalum, a beautiful blue-gray metal that’s highly resistant to corrosion, is rarely seen in luxury timepieces. The first selection in the Hublot Big Bang 44mm line is made of tantalum, and is a basic, uncomplicated treatment of the theme. The characteristic elements are there, the wide, round face with its big numerals. The two chronograph dials and a small seconds dial are arranged around the main dial. These are traits that we also see in the other watches of the Hublot Big Bang 44mm line. While Hublot watches are made of various materials, some of their best-known luxury timepieces are ceramic. These watches use this substance in their bezels and bodies, coupling it with faces of black, brown, gray and red. Of course, there are a few examples of the well-loved Cappuccino and Frappucino color compositions with brown faces. More Replica Hublot Big Bang 44mm Watches.

Replica Hublot Big Bang Unico

Hublot Big Bang Unico is one of Hublot’s proudest achievements. While Hublot has produced movements in-house for quite a while, during much of their modern history, in-house-made Hublot movements were reserved exclusively for their most expensive and exclusive models such as tourbillons. “UNICO” is really the name for a movement platform which can be modified and moduled to offer a range of complications. In its purest form, the UNICO automatic movement offers time plus chronograph (and date), and is very well represented here with the caliber HUB1242. More Replica Hublot Big Bang Unico Watches.

Rolex GMT Master aunched in 1954.Designed in collaboration with Pan American Airways for use by their pilots and navigators. (GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time now known as Coordinated Universal Time). The original GMT Master watch has a 24-hour display fourth hand complication directly linked to and displaying the same time zone as the standard 12-hour hand. This GMT hand enabled the crews to set the watch to GMT or another time zone, and using the rotatable 24-hour scale bezel set to the correct offset a second time zone could be read.

Rolex GMT-Master II was released in the early 1980s. Although the watch looks almost identical it uses a movement that has the additional capability of an independently adjustable quickset hour hand that can be adjusted to local time without stopping the seconds or disturbing the minutes and 24 hour GMT hand. The updated Rolex GMT Master II was released in 2005. This new watch features a number of technical changes, such as Rolex’s patented Parachrom hairspring as well as a larger Triplock crown. The new watch also has several cosmetic changes, such as larger case, hands and hour markers and also a new bezel made using an extremely hard ceramic material that is designed to be more scratch and fade resistant.

Replica Rolex GMT Master 1675 Pepsi

The vintage Rolex GMT-Master 1675 are quite a bit smaller than the later models and noticeably thinner. This reference has no independent moving hour hand; you have to use the bezel to read a second time zone. The extra hour is a 24-hour indicator. Aside from missing the independent hour hand, the vintage 1675 has the looks of authentic “tool watch” — no glossy dials, polished center links or white-gold rings around the hour markers.

Replica Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN

The case of the Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN watch grew in both thickness and diameter and the lugs become a bit larger as well. The hour markers are bigger, and the watch featured a Trip-Lock crown (instead of the Twin-Lock crown it had in the past) and a ceramic bezel. The ceramic bezel will not discolor like the old aluminum bezels did and, more importantly, they won’t scratch. The red GMT hand, which was so recognizable on the previous stainless-steel Rolex GMT-Master models, was replaced with a green one on this model. Also, the printing of the word “GMT-Master” on the dial is in green instead of white.

The bracelet of the Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN is quite different from the simpler and much criticized bracelets of old (although most of the criticism always seemed to come from people who didn’t like Rolex to begin with). The bracelet on the GMT-Master II 116710LN has a new clasp (with micro-adjustment and the capability to extend the bracelet) and a polished center link.

Replica Rolex Submariner 16610LV

The most apparent change is the color of the unidirectional rotating bezel — a Rolex green bezel insert is used on the 16610LV instead of the standard-issue black bezel insert. The 40mm diameter case, as well as the 20mm tapered bracelet, are constructed from the same ultra-high grade 904L stainless steel and has the same 300 meters/1000 feet of water resistance.

If you don’t count the date feature, the chronograph is probably the most popular complication for watches, as well as one of the most useful: one can find many uses for a chrono during his or her everyday life, such as timing diner preparation or in other work- or sports-related activities.

What makes a timepiece iconic? In most cases, it has something to do with age and heritage, but more importantly, in my opinion, its design should be truly timeless. If you can easily identify a watch as having been around since the 1950s or 1960s and that watch can still be worn today without looking old — well, that’s the definition of timeless. Another important aspect of an icon is that it should be easily recognizable as a specific model and brand. Top 6 Iconic Chronograph Watches:

1. Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph

The “Moonwatch” – Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph has not changed much over the years. Introduced in 1957 as a watch for racecar drivers, it became the choice for NASA astronauts in 1965. In fact, it played an important role during the return of the damaged Apollo 13 spacecraft in 1970. Precise timing was necessary for a safe return into the atmosphere. Couldn’t any other watch have done the job? Probably, but fact is that the Speedmaster was the only watch able to pass NASA’s rigorous testing in its search for a space-worthy chronograph watch. The Moonwatch today has the same basic design as those used by NASA in those days; only minor details have changed. More Replica Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph.

2. Rolex Daytona Chronograph

Rolex Daytona Chronograph is also celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Rolex introduced an all-platinum version this year, with an ice blue dial and a chestnut-colored bezel. However, Rolex refuses to call this watch a special or anniversary edition, it is – like all Rolex models – part of its ‘regular’ collection. The cult of the Rolex Daytona started in Italy – so the story goes – with a magazine featuring Paul Newman wearing his Daytona on the cover of a magazine. The Rolex Daytona especially the oldest models fetches very high prices at auctions and has its own subculture among watch collectors. More Replica Rolex Daytona Chronograph.

3. Breitling Navitimer Chronograph

The Breitling Navitimer Chronograph, introduced in 1952. The original watch was meant for pilots and featured a slide-rule bezel. With the slide rule, pilots were able to calculate ground speed, miles per minute, fuel consumption and other mathematical calculations. The Navitimer family came in a lot of shapes and sizes during the years, but we prefer the classical-looking Navitimer that comes closest to the original model from the early 1950s.

4. TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph

TAG Heuer Carrera introduced in 1963 by Jack Heuer, a chronograph watch clearly inspired by sports cars and the world of auto racing.  Now, 50 years later, the TAG Heuer Carrera is recognized as a legitimate icon. Last year’s 41mm Carrera watch was introduced to celebrate the 80th birthday of its founder, Jack Heuer. More Replica TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph.

5. IWC Portuguese Chronograph

The IWC Schaffhausen has a long and rich history, especially with its Portuguese watches, and yet the IWC Portuguese Chronograph is the youngest watch in this list. A clean and classically designed watch that you will recognize instantly as an IWC, the Portuguese Chronograph has an ETA/Valjoux 7750 movement and a 40.9 mm case. And its design should be as contemporary 50 years from now as it is today. More Replica IWC Portuguese Chronograph.

6. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph

The original Royal Oak goes back to 1972 and was designed by the legendary Gérald Genta. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore collection was introduced in 1993 and was meant to be a more rugged and up-to-date version of the regular Royal Oak to attract a younger and perhaps a new target customer. The themed models from the Royal Oak Offshore collection bear interesting names as ‘Safari’, ‘Navy’, ‘Vulcano’ and so on. Watch aficionados even nicknamed them ‘Panda’ and ‘Elephant’.
