What does Vitruvian Man, the famous drawing by Leonardo da Vinci remind you of? For us, the 3D printer in the HBO series Westworld immediately comes to my mind. For Maxime Buchi, founder of London tattoo studio Sang Bleu, it inspired him to created the geometry shapes seen on the Big Bang Sang Bleu watch.
Whether it is da Vinci’s manuscript or this Hublot watch, both try to reproduce the correlations of ideal human proportions with geometry. As a result, underneath the 388 diamonds and the HUB1213 UNICO automatic movement comprising of 255 parts, is a concept derived from the ancient aesthetic code and based on the rich history of science.
Big Bang Sang Bleu in 45mm titanium case features a hexagonal decor bezel and octagonal skeleton hands designed by Maxime Buchi and paired with black rubber and Schedoni leather straps with titanium deployment buckle clasp.
