Hublot proudly returned for the 7th edition of Dubai Watch Week, marking two major milestones: the 20th anniversary of its iconic Big Bang collection and the 75th anniversary of its long-standing regional partner, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. As a global celebration of watchmaking and creativity rooted in the region’s horological culture, Dubai Watch Week served as the ideal stage to celebrate this shared heritage.
To commemorate the occasion, Hublot and Seddiqi introduced two exclusive limited-edition timepieces:
The Big Bang All Black Ahmed Seddiqi 75th Anniversary and the Big Bang Titanium Grey Ahmed Seddiqi 75th Anniversary. Both models reflect Hublot’s bold design philosophy and Seddiqi’s enduring legacy, featuring Arabic numerals inspired by regional heritage and a custom oscillating weight engraved with Seddiqi’s 75th anniversary emblem.
The unveiling took place at the Hublot booth during Dubai Watch Week, attended by Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, and Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, CEO of Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, along with members of the media and watch enthusiasts who gathered to celebrate this landmark collaboration in modern watchmaking.
Commenting on the occasion
Julien Tornare noted that Dubai Watch Week perfectly embodies Hublot’s innovative spirit and strong connection with collectors in the region. He emphasized that celebrating two important anniversaries together reflects shared values of creativity, craftsmanship, and forward-thinking design.
Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi added that collaborating with Hublot on these special editions was a meaningful experience
Highlighting their mutual dedication to innovation, design excellence, and creating watches that resonate with collectors throughout the region. He also emphasized Dubai Watch Week’s role as a platform for horological creativity and inspiration.
The Big Bang All Black edition is limited to 10 pieces and crafted entirely from black ceramic, featuring a 4N 22K gold oscillating weight that embodies Hublot’s philosophy of “invisible visibility.” The Big Bang Titanium Grey edition, limited to 25 pieces, offers a refined balance of exclusivity and accessibility with a polished and satin-finished titanium case.
Both watches are powered by a self-winding movement with a 72-hour power reserve and feature Arabic numerals on the dial, paying tribute to the Middle East’s rich cultural heritage
Combined with the signature bold design and craftsmanship of the Big Bang, these elements make each model a highly collectible expression of innovation and exclusivity.
“More than commemorative pieces, the Big Bang Seddiqi 75th Anniversary editions celebrate two decades of the Big Bang’s revolutionary design while honoring Middle Eastern culture. They reaffirm Hublot’s commitment to the region and demonstrate the brand’s continued pursuit of pushing the boundaries of contemporary watchmaking for collectors worldwide”.
