Hublot’s masterstroke: the smart reinvention of the Big Bang
The Hublot brand is a standout in the luxury smartwatch industry, known for consistently crafting timepieces that uniquely blend traditional watchmaking roots with a daring embrace of the digital age. The Big Bang e Gen3 marks the latest chapter in this compelling synthesis story.
The brand’s watches typically coincide with big sporting events. The last timepiece we covered was crafted in time for kick-off in Qatar. Purchasing the Hublot Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 would set you back more than it would cost to fly to that country and watch all the games in person! Surprisingly enough, the watch was sold out, so there is a thriving market for that sort of thing.
The Big Band e Gen3
Now we have another addition to Hublot’s range. No big sporting occasion to mark this time.
Instead, this is a device that transforms the iconic Big Bang timepiece into a sophisticated digital ensemble. The Big Bang e Gen3 features a 44mm diameter, 14mm thick ceramic case. This has been polished and microblasted in either a chic black or a sophisticated white.
These watches expertly combine tradition and innovation. They come with the brand’s signature H-shaped titanium screws and black-plated titanium crowns reinforced with rubber inserts.
Consumers who love technology will find the Big Bang e Gen3 to have pretty good tech under the hood. The Qualcomm Snapdragon WearTM 4100+ processor, which supports both the Google Android and Apple iOS operating systems, powers the device.
Of course, the watch incorporates a wide range of sensors and features. This includes a heart rate monitor, accelerometer, gyroscope, ambient light sensor, microphone, speaker, and vibration motor. Another plus is the device’s improved connectivity, which includes GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC payment support.

The Hublot Big Bang e Gen3 offers a variety of 11 digital dials to suit various moods and occasions for those who value the freedom of customization. The options range from sporty chronograph dials to elegant skeleton dials and even some artistic interpretations. To go along with everything, the watch has a high-definition screen with 454 x 454 pixels, 327 dpi resolution. Thanks to Hublot’s patented interchangeable “One Click” strap system, you have the option to mix and match rubber straps of any colour to match the dial.
A very pricey timepiece!
The Big Bang e Gen3 is a great illustration of Hublot’s talent for fusing the allure of mechanical watches with the advantages of contemporary smartwatch technology. The timepiece is an interesting offering, but only for those with very big pockets. This should come as no surprise, as each timepiece in the brand’s collection typically costs several thousand dollars.nds.
