Hublot Big Bang Unico 42 Flyback Chrono Review 

Facts: 1) it is an in house chrono movement designed from the ground up, not a club sandwich chrono module mounted on a 3 hand movement 2) 72h power reserve and a flyback function 3) Ceramic/titanium which is what you need for a watch of this design 4) Quick change strap system 5) A fairly solid brand with presence and a strong backing from LVMH 6) Looks great if you're into rubber strap sport watches Pretty steep at retail, but at market price it is a package that is hard to beat

I used to sh*t on hublot, but the unico big bang, and especially the meca10 line, truly impressed me. Now i want a meca10! Never thought I’d ever say this - hublot makes some uber cool watches!

This is a great review, I owe other brands, including several Hublots, Classic fusion is my favorite of them all. I am not in the market to make money, there is other ways to invest. H Every time I wear a HUBLOT is definitely a conversation starter. Hublot is the only watch you can wear with EVERYTHING. I was looking at the Zenith DEFY as well, but all roads lead to a HUBLOT and most definitely my choice for a present to me in 2021. After all a watch becomes and extesnion of you for Time to Come, Hublot is it that for me. Thank you for a well put together review,

Great review. Your description of the people who’d have this watch is spot on I think. It has a time and place . I really like it and think they’re very underrated.

Glad you got Hublot on the channel. I’ve always kind of liked them even though I don’t own one.

What a gorgeous piece! ❤

Love this model have the all black ceramic cant get enough of it great review !!!

I knew Bruce was a man of culture with that intro music.

Yes there’s better watches with more beauty and better movements. but Hublot has that gaudy in your face style that makes you feel like a big time athlete. Sometimes you need a purely fun and crazy watch, I dig it.

Love it, I know we complain about the price. But there are so few options for Hight quality Skeleton watches that are not crazy expensive (50k+)

You nailed it in this review! I just bought the black ceramic one of this. Stare at it all day, the movement is incredible to look at. Definitely own multiple watches, and this is my favorite be far.

That intro was dare I saw out of this world? fantastic. It's great seeing watches that most of us will never see in the metal. I think we usually have to rely on Watchfinder for this type stuff, so great episode. They should have taken a cue from the Zenith Defy Skeleton to show the date perfectly in that format.

Fun fact: the watch Brad Pitt's character wears in Once Upon a time in Hollywood also has flyback....and its a 1970s Citizen 😉

Hublot rock Period. Jean Claude Biver is a watch guru. I love his description of the brand and history. I love Hublot. Damn! I need to win the Lotto!😂

Hublot BLOWS

I truly believe that people hate on Hublot as a brand way too much. Yes, they have made some utterly horrific watches (and still do), but they also make some very well designed watches which are actually rather good-looking. Assuming you have good taste when it comes to watches; you can pick out a very classy watch from Hublot! I also don’t care about the stereotypes that are often attached to Hublot, because I don’t believe in stereotypes at all. At the end of the day - what other people think of your taste in watches doesn’t really matter. We all have different tastes and we’re all attracted to different things 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just wear the watch that makes you happy and don’t worry about what other people think ✌🏼

I think their watches are excellent even though I have pretty classical taste. They have an interesting catalog and this isn’t the only Big Bag in the line. This is a great urban lifestyle watch for coffee shop people.

Great review, Bruce. You are being too nice on Hublot. I like how you framed it a watch brand that attracts a distinct clientele. While Hublot is frowned upon in the US, it is considered an awesome brand in India and is extremely popular with the G-Wagen, Maserati and orange Lambo drivers.

The jump is caused by the horizontal clutch of the speedmaster and not the cam

since you can get it on secondary market for EUR 13K i think for me its great choice instead of a Rolex Daytona 116500LN which I cannot find anywhere....... And this big bang unico looks more sophisticated and complex for same money.

Je l ai essayé hier sur Cannes. Et vraiment au poignet c est une beauté. La céramique faisant vraiment un superbe mélange avec le titane. Elle est pas si grosse que cela, et très confortable. Enfin en plus un vrai mvt maison visible et qui donne une très jolie vue. Pourtant quand elle est sortie j étais pas super chaud... comme quoi il y a que les cons qui changent pas d avis

You can actually get it grey market quite "cheap" around 12k

Normally I hate on HuBlows but I like this piece!

May I know what is the case material in between? Is it the same material as the black ceramic bezel?

I love this watch😍 👍👍 ...better than AP in my opinion

I spat out my cup of tea when I heard the retail price of $18,000...

Can someone explain to me why people hate on Hublot? I find them to be pretty great looking watch. I also love Rolex, and think these two brands can be in the same collection

Jumping or not of the chronograph hand is determined by the type of the clutch and gear profile, not by the column wheel or cam system.

wow.. this watch really loking nice

It is a basic truth that you cannot judge a watch fairly until you hold and wear it. For a moment, an hour, a day or a month. The details, both positive and negative, are usually not apparent if you do not have time with it. The more, the better. I bet that watch is fun to wear. It seems special. As for the price, you nailed it. That watch is not for the value proposition-obsessed WIS. I dig it. I don't think I would buy it. You never know though. --Michael

Hi Bruce, I feel Hublot is an over rated brand. With no history of its own, it has been selling watches at exorbitant prices. I'd rather go for a Rolex or an Omega or Breitling instead of a Hublot.

Can the chrono be left running on a flyback chrono without additional wear ?

I think it’s actually quiet good looking and great movement . However it’s big and big watches I find only ever work for me as occasional pieces . as I’ never find that they are quite right on the wrist so wouldn’t be for me . I think the guys who buy this are often non watch enthusiasts who want wrist presence and statement on the wrist and often only have the one watch They are a huge favourite of sportsmen

Personally I love the designs of Hublot - it's all a matter of personal taste. However, I would rather go with the Carrera Tourbillion ( heuer02t) and save a few $.

Thanks Bruce, nice review. I am also not target customer, nor if I had the $$$$ would I be interested in this watch.

Not sure of this model, but really like the look of more modest Hublots. Leave the skeletons to Jacob & Co and Richard Mille.

Just got mine as well!!! Love it

tried this at a local AD, the clasp was pressing so hard on my artery. the SA adjusted the strap to my wrist size but the clasp was killing me slowly.

Nice

Can you chronograph work all the time ...

That gear at the 7:30 location is so cool looking.

I like the design, but the price is too high for me

This is the bad boy kinda watch.

Saludos

What is your wrist size?

You do an awesome job though!!

It looks like a g-shock! I think I'll just buy one of those, and keep the $17, 900 in the bank!

for some reason notifications for your channel was turned off.. no wonder i missed the past few videos

I like your channel I’ve been a long-time watcher but I’m starting to feel like all this being reviewed are watches that are cost more than buying a car. I just fail to understand why someone would spend this much on the watch and how people have this much of an expenditure cash lying around That they would consider buying one. ..... must be nice I guess for those that can afford it but for the average guy not so much. Your channel start to become like the billionaires boys club for watch Enthusiast. I’ve been feeling like this for a while I’m not trying to hate on it but I’m just giving you my constructive opinion take it or leave it.

Really not my cup of tea. For the money of this Hublot you could get a ALS Saxonia new or a Lange1 pre owned. Or a Patek Calatrava, man think about.... With all respect for JC Biver, Hublot is in my opinion some kind of fashion brand...

Nick picking at $18K is the right thing to do , not only is the date difficult to read so is the time.

18000 for a toy watch, looks like something lego batman would wear.

Dont mind me, im looking for elden ring. ಥ_ಥ

35 seconds of intro is excessive. just get to the watch already

The Omega speed master Spanks that Hublot

Horrid. Not a fan of anything GG influenced. Still cool to see your review tho, Cheers mate 👍🏻

Jhj

Nah

Wannabe AP.

First again

🤮

Anyone who describes Hublot watches sound very uneducated and unappealing.

😲🤢🤮
