As the new year kicks off in full swing, the Chinese zodiac system reveals that 2025 will be ‘The Year of the Wood Snake,’ a charming, intelligent, and creative sign that is also secretive, crafty, and sometimes ruthless. It’s a tradition closely followed by some of the biggest watch brands in the industry, with each showcasing stunning models that incorporate new designs centered around the 12-year cycle of animals that repeats continuously. Hublot is proud to keep traditions strong with the release of its new Spirit of Big Bang ‘Year of the Snake’, limited to only 88-pieces worldwide.
Hublot’s Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Snake brings the zodiac to life with a golden snake that winds across its open dial. Crafted with laser-engraved precision, the snake appears to slither around the chronograph’s three counters. The watch features a black ceramic case with a snake-scale pattern engraved on the bezel and a special rubber strap with a velvety shimmer, executed through a creative embossing technique.
Inside, the timepiece houses the HUB4700 movement, a modern take on the historic El Primero chronograph. Visible through both the open dial and sapphire back, this movement combines classic watchmaking with modern upgrades like a low-friction silicon escape wheel. Practical touches like Hublot’s One-Click strap system make this Spirit of Big Bang as functional as it is stylish. The all-new Hublot Spirit of Big Bang ‘Year of the Snake’ is now available at boutiques worldwide for $35,100.
