In 2025, horological masterminds Hublot celebrated two decades of their renowned Big Bang watch collection. The Swiss watchmaking brand marked this milestone with the release of five special limited editions. Each of these watches was specially crafted as a tribute to the original Hublot Big Bang models from 2005, showcasing a fusion of avant-garde technology and radical aesthetics that Hublot is widely celebrated for.
Among these special releases were the Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary All Black and the Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary Red Magic models. These pieces, limited to 500 and 100 pieces respectively, are now hard to come by in the direct market. However, they occasionally surface in the secondary market for those with an eye for rare collectibles.
The horological realm welcomes a new innovative model - the DC6 Wildfire by David Candaux. Following the brand’s recognizable visual language, this watch, just as the previously launched DC1, boasts of highly technical movements and breakthrough case construction.
Notables include a basin-shaped case, an ingenious Magic Crown tucked at 6 o’clock, a manually wound titanium movement, and an impressive 30-degree-inclined flying tourbillon. The DC6 Wildfire takes an exciting turn with its striking orange dial, an aesthetic notion inspired by sunrise against a forest ridge.
The watch’s case, standing at 45mm in diameter and 11.29mm thick, maintains the classic DC6 basin-shaped build. It hides a sophisticated cocktail of materials, from a titanium chamber securing the movement to a unidirectional (UD) carbon-clad exterior. Titanium stretchers extending into lugs provide mechanical stability, all held together without adhesives.
