Samuel Ross works together with Hublot to create his own iteration of the Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A timepiece. The two continue to build their ongoing partnership as the British designer and Swiss watchmaker have created its third version of the timepiece. This time, it gets a blue palette and remains true to its values.
The commanding 44mm case is retained and it is followed by honeycomb patterns that are inspired by natural structures. This is joined by cool titanium case architecture which is aligned with Ross' design language. This iteration stands out as it works with Ross's new SR_A which can be seen in the timepiece's mixed textures and functionality. The Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A gets a frosted grey carbon fiber on the case which replaces the usual rubber finish.
