So you got in early and made a little money, but now don’t know what to do with your bitcoins? This Big Bang is the watch for you.
Hublot celebrates ten years since the creation of Bitcoin with the launch of the Big Bang Meca-10 P2P limited edition watch, available for purchase exclusively online with Bitcoins and also featuring the transaction number engraved on the edge of the bezel, rendering each piece unique.
Bitcoin was created in November 2008 and has grown into a captivating cryptocurrency. A trailblazer in new technological and societal trends, Hublot has decided to mark the ten year anniversary of Bitcoin by launching the first watch that can only be purchased using the virtual currency. Only available via e-commerce and only ordered and paid for online, the new watch is the product of a collaboration between Hublot and OS Limited (OSL), Asia’s leading digital asset brokerage. This makes Hublot the first big watchmaking brand to enter this sector.
True to the innovative design expected from the Big Bang collection, the “P2P” watch has a 45mm case made from micro-blasted black ceramic. When we talk about ceramics in a Hublot watch, this does not mean clay-based pottery, but rather a high-tech material of zirconium dioxide pressed at a very high temperature.
Within you’ll find a HUB1201 manufacture calibre, a skeleton movement offering an exceptional ten-day power reserve (one for each year Bitcoin has been around). Each of the 210 pieces is unique: manufactured for its wearer, each bears the identification number of the transaction made via Bitcoin.
Another reference to cryptocurrency can be found in the Blockchain inspired design – the interconnection network of computers on which virtual money works – on the blue calfskin leather strap which is lined with black rubber.
The Big Bang Meca-10 P2P is a limited edition of 210 timepieces, a reference to the global limit of Bitcoins, which is fixed at 21 million.
