This year in Miami, the latest edition of the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon SR_A by Samuel Ross debuts. The new watch design is part of an ongoing collaboration between the artist and the watchmaker. Redefined materials and new color variations in blue characterize this latest Big Bang model, featuring a signature honeycomb lattice from Ross, a two-tone bezel finish, and a flexible rubber strap in dark blue.

“By reflecting on how to use the latest technology to offer a contemporary vision of watchmaking that focuses on people, surprises them with original details, and brings a smile to their face, we are trying to create a design that speaks a universal language that is both elegant and simple to understand. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Hublot Manufacture and its teams,” said Ross in a statement.

Whitewaller spoke with Ross, the Hublot ambassador, about the process of designing at this scale, experimenting with materials, and the preciousness of time.
