Since 2005, Hublot has been working alongside ONLY WATCH to support the courage and determination both of children suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and of future generations. For the 2017 edition, Hublot has created a transparent watch out of sapphire, one of the most difficult materials to machine – sought to convey a message – that of pushing limits ever further, always believing that they can be exceeded or overcome.
Inspired by one of champion Usain Bolt’s favourite models, the Big Bang Unico Sapphire Usain Bolt for Only Watch is a watch that embodies hope and the desire to win, with emblazoning the Jamaican sprinter’s trademark gold and vibrant colours.
To fully underscore the commitment of Hublot and Usain Bolt to the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy, Hublot will organize a meet & greet between the winner of the bid and the fastest man of the world, Usain Bolt.
BIG BANG UNICO SAPPHIRE USAIN BOLT FOR ONLY WATCH
In a 45 mm Big Bang case, the Big Bang Unico Sapphire Usain Bolt for Only Watch showcases a green and gold design paired with a transparent strap, where gold symbolises for victory and green for hope.
This unique piece will be auctioned with a second strap, in yellow-gold colour calfskin, featuring the silhouette of the Jamaican flag, in a nod to the athlete’s origins. The counter at 9 o’clock bears the silhouette of the “Lightning Bolt” and his iconic victory sign. The skeleton dial is made from 3N 18K yellow gold. This unique piece is accompanied by a PUMA t-shirt signed by the fastest man in the world.
