This week, as part of our coverage from LVMH Watch Week 2025, weโre bringing you regular updates of our favourite new releases.
While you can expect Hublot to save a few of its most crucial releases for Watches & Wonders 2025 (set to take place this April), weโve seen a handful of iterative new product โ particularly in the Big Bang family โ thatโs worthy of a closer look.
The good news? If you appreciate Hublotโs maximalist approach to watchmaking and flair for madcap materials, these LVMH Watch Week novelties are thatโฆ and then some.

The Big Bang MECA-10 โ Now In A 42mm Size
Technically a rework of a cult classic, Hublotโs big shot across the bow at LVMH Watch Week 2025 is this Big Bang MECA-10. Based on a design of the same name first realised by the Maison back in 2016, this open-worked Big Bang reference โmakes visible and aestheticizesโ a range of engineering that is normally hidden from the wearerโs view.
This latest crop of MECA-10s will be available in titanium, frosted carbon, and Hublotโs proprietary โKing Goldโ alloy. Depending on case material, pricing ranges between 20,900 CHF โ 38,900 CHF. In-market AUD prices are to be confirmed shortly.
The watchโs movement architecture (i.e. its biggest talking point) takes significant inspiration from the 2016 original: featuring a ring-shaped base plate onto which three linear bridges are attached. Except this time around, Hublot has managed to condense everything down into a 42mm case size โ making the traditional Big Bang design language wearable for a new audience.
In addition to giving the wearer an unencumbered view of the movementโs various components working in sync, Hublotโs watchmakers have used this setup for the new MECA-10 to apply elevated finishing.
Per the press imagery above, you can see satin polishing and hand-applied anglage: the most visible examples of which are present in the MECA-10โs trio of parallel bridges.
The watchโs cutting-edge aesthetic is matched by its performance. True to its name, the MECA-10 is capable of storing a power reserve in excess of 240 hours โ thanks to the use of two superimposed mainspring barrels, and an unusual multidirectional racking system that is used to drive the watchโs highly legible reserve indicator.
The best bit? As far as weโre aware, these new MECA-10s are going into regular production; meaning theyโre likely to form the bedrock of similar skeletonised Big Bang releases in years to come.
Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic In Green SAXEM
For all of its polarising design and marketing pushes, one thing that watch enthusiasts can all agree on is that Hublot is one of the industryโs big innovators in the realm of material science.
Having made a huge splash with watches like a fully sapphire crystal encased Big Bang Unico, the Maison is unveiling the Big Bang โGreen SAXEMโ this week โ marrying together an automatic tourbillon movement and transparent โemerald greenโ case.
The SAXEM acronym which gives the watch its name stands for โSapphire Aluminium Oxide and Rare Earth Mineralsโ: an oblique reference to its material composition, bringing together sapphire crystalโs practical benefits with the โintense colours and shineโ of natural minerals.
Hublot spokespeople have likened the experience of wearing this Big Bang in green SAXEM to that of an emerald gemstone; and while the big allure is certain to be visual, youโve got to give Hublot kudos for paying as much attention to the watchโs mechanical heartbeat.
Even with the tourbillon, this limited edition manages a very respectable 72 hours of reserve power โ the source of this being a 22k gold micro-rotor, which youโll see positioned at the top of the dial.
