The above Hublot model Lay Zhang is sporting? It’s the Big Bang Integral Gold King 42mm.
Hublot — the Swiss watch manufacturing titan — has been producing watches that are as ambitious as they are wild and out-of-this-world as they are actually aesthetically pleasing since 1980. It started with the combination of gold (a flex) with rubber (a bigger flex) and this vision by Chairman, Jean-Claude Biver makes for some mighty fine wrist art.
And the art of Hublot — the scratch-resistant Magic Gold, ceramics in vibrant colours and the movements — is exactly what makes Lay Zhang tick in time with the brand itself.
A matte-black skeleton dial and a satin-finished 18K King Gold make: the Hublot Big Bang Integral Gold King 42mm Lay Zhang flexes is water resistant up to 100 metres.
“I want to create a new and unique style by fusing modern music and dance with the cultural treasures that have existed in China for thousands of years. I am always working with traditional elements of my homeland and I want to show it in a new light. Hublot is known for pioneering innovation in watchmaking and boldly reshaping tradition with a forward-looking mindset to reveal the unique charisma of their timepieces. We both want to push the boundaries of our respective fields. As a big fan of Hublot, I am honored to join the Hublot family.” says Lay Zhang himself.
If you’re wary however, of flexing the Hublot Big Bang Integral Gold King 42mm like Lay Zhang, make sure you think of it this way: this particular model of the Big Bang is the Swiss House’s new classic. While it came in peak Citrus-season orange, canary yellow or decked out in tattoos, this version is perhaps the most worthy of investing and wearing. A rare and special Hublot that you can wear every day, 24/7 and most importantly, to jack up any fit.
