Big Bang One Click Calavera Catrina – Hublot
by Abdon FLORES
El Día de los Muertos is one of the most attiring celebrations around the world. Mexicans have a very close relationship with Death -the character not the fact of stop living. In Mexico there is a great intimacy with this somber figure that ravages people every day in even the most hidden hamlet. That’s why representation of Death is rather common in Mexico and it has become an art craft: skulls and skeletons are colorful symbols of this feast.
The Big Bang One Click Calavera Catrina by Hublot was launched at the 11th annual SIAR in Mexico. This timepiece actually reproduces a Catrina, the colorful, fancy skeleton representing Death in Mexico. The Calavera (skull) is represented by a lacquered dial in black or white, engraved with colored lacquer. The lurid and elegant dresses are conveyed through the straps with stitched multi-colored skulls and the bezel covered in a 42 sapphire rainbow.
There are three limited editions: a steel version featuring a white lacquered dial with a matching white leather and rubber strap (100 pieces), a ceramic version (100 pieces) and a King Gold version (50 pieces) both with matching black lacquer dials and black leather straps. The One Click interchangeable strap system allows the Big Bang One Click Calavera Catrina to be transformed instantly and worn with blue or pink leather straps. The timepiece features the HUB1710 self-winding mechanical movement with a 50-hour power reserve. With 27 rubies in the mechanism, the Calavera Catrina is an horological ode to the beyond.
