Simply Abu Dhabi XIII

H ublot introduces an ultra- feminine series inspired by the famous art movement: Pop Art, an artistic movement which had its heyday in 1970s American culture. Playful use of colour. Flashy, joyful, upbeat. Everything was questioned. Dare... Reinterpret... Subvert... Andy Warhol and his famous portrait of Marilyn Monroe immediately spring to mind. How has it influenced the Big Bang? Pink, blue, purple, apple green: an explosion of colour in 4 watches, all 100% Pop Art reinterpretations. Seriously vibrant. And a first in the world of Haute Horlogerie. With two models in gold and two in steel, these are playful watches. Yet their design is that of the iconic Big Bang 41mm, featuring a bezel set with 48 baguette precious stones: topazes for the blue, amethysts for the purple, sapphires for the pink and tsavorites for the green, and dials with multi-coloured counters reminiscent of a painter's palette. The ensemble is completed by a strap in coloured alligator sewn onto tone-on-tone rubber for comfort and flexibility. Inside beats the HUB 4300 movement, a self- winding mechanical chronograph with a date window at 4 o'clock which is sure to catch the eye of connoisseurs. With a power reserve of over 40 hours, the watch is water resistant to 100 m for year-round durability. Long live fun, vibrant colours. Long live Pop Art and long live life!
