Hublot Bangs for America Liberty

Limited Edition

At the gala dinner and presentation of the Liberty Medal, Hublot unveiled last last week at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia, PA the “Hublot Liberty Bang”, a special and limited edition timepiece presented to all recipients of the Liberty Medal. The Liberty Medal is awarded annually by the National Constitution Center to men and women of courage and conviction who have strived to secure the blessings of liberty to people the world over.   

The recipient of the honorific award and selected and coveted timepiece this year was former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Gates, in his five-decade career in public service, has served eight presidents – in uniform, as the director of the CIA and as the civilian head of America’s armed forces. 

Hublot’s US Liberty Bang belongs to the Big Bang collection limited edition watches. This timepiece in particular will be limited to 100 pieces and will only be available in the USA. The dial features a black dial with citations from the United States Constitution and selected quotes from various signers of the Constitution forming the American flag.

Hublot and Chef Phillippe Rochart ambassador of Swiss Culture in Singapore

As we couldn’t expect less, Hublot announced the “perfect fusion of watchmaking and jewellery, tradition and innovation, sparkle and invisibility”.  Exclusively for the ceremony of selection as Swiss culture Ambassador, Hublot presented for the first time the Big Bang Black Caviar, a perfect choice for the evening to be worn by selected Ambassador star Chef Phillippe Rochart.

In an evening that celebrate the marriage of taste, beauty, and style, Phillippe was in charge of smothering the guests with his culinary selections in combination with Hublot’s choice of “a symphony of shades in black and the visible white tones of the diamonds shine in their harmonious alignment”.

Featuring the date aperture at 3 and mounted on a black rubber strap providing confort and flexibility, the Big Bang Black Caviar is designed almost entirely in ceramic with a bezel set with 48 baguette diamonds. Sounds yum!
