For its second artistic collaboration with the master of storytelling art, Hublot reinvents Lipstick, Marc Ferrero's most emblematic work, on the dial of the Big Bang One Click 39 mm. In black and white, symbolising an indissoluble complementarity, it illustrates the universal dualism of day and night. An essential, minimalist, attractive white and a deep, bold, magnetic black. Two watches that remind us that day and night cannot exist without each other. "I love the strength of black and white. Light and shadow. Yin and Yang. The first is subtle, ethereal, timeless. The second is profound, unclassifiable, eternal. They symbolise antithesis and complementarity. Choosing black and white means going to the essentials without excesses of tone. Black and white make Lipstick even more graphic and its lipstick, red - more magnetic,' said Marc Ferrero. The artist of colour this time tells a black and white story, materialised in two limited and numbered edition models of 100 pieces, one in polished-satin-finished steel and resin, with a lacquered dial and a calfskin and rubber strap, all in white (price €18,100); the other, in black ceramic with a lacquered dial and a calfskin and rubber strap, combines black and white (price €19,100). In a play of contrasts, lipstick stands out as the only colour, with a flashy red to remind us that, under large dark glasses, Lipstick pays tribute to the 21st century woman. In both cases, the bezel is set with 42 brilliant-cut diamonds (equal to about 1 carat) and the movement used is the HUB1710 calibre, mechanical with automatic winding.
