With the new Big Bang MECA-10 Concrete Jungle, Hublot transforms this iconic material into a bold new expression of watchmaking\u2014fusing horology with urban grit in a tribute to New York City\u2019s skyline, street culture, and soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u201cConcrete has long been misunderstood as cold and industrial, but in the world of high design, it has become something else entirely &#8211; tactile, refined, even expressive. With the Big Bang MECA-10 Concrete Jungle, this timepiece captures the raw energy of New York and the meticulous precision of Swiss watchmaking. This timepiece is dedicated to our new New York Boutique and is crafted from the same material as our new Fifth Avenue boutique\u2019s fa\u00e7ade\u201d&nbsp;stated&nbsp;Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot.<\/p><div class=\"autoestrada-nel-contenuto autoestrada-entity-placement\" id=\"autoestrada-3683053908\" style=\"position: relative;padding: 30px;border: 2px solid red;margin: 25px auto 35px;text-align: center;width: fit-content;\"><div class=\"autoestrada-adlabel\">Advertising<\/div><div id=\"autoestrada-491541629\"><!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/impfr.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(25346028)a(2263928)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\r\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=289682&a=2263928&g=25346028\" target=\"_BLANK\"><img src=\"'+uri+'\" border=0><\\\/a>');\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com --><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A striking 44mm special edition, the Big Bang MECA-10 Concrete Jungle is encased entirely in matte concrete\u2014an unexpected material rendered here with Hublot\u2019s signature sophistication. The case is framed by H-shaped screws in polished and micro-blasted titanium, with a matching caseback and a satin finished titanium crown over molded with black rubber. Measuring 15.3mm thick and water-resistant to 50 meters, the case is unapologetically bold\u2014mirroring the strength and endurance of the city it was built to honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entirely conceived and developed in house, is Hublot\u2019s in-house HUB1201 &#8211; the skeletonized manual-winding movement with an extraordinary 10-day power reserve. Comprising 223 finely crafted components (straight and curved perforated metallic strips, crown gears, racks, plates, axes, and ratchet wheels), it beats at a steady 3 Hz (21,600 vibrations\/hour), with twin barrels and a distinctive rack-and-pinion power reserve indicator\u2014marked in red for a clear read of remaining energy. Elegantly exposed and meticulously refined, the architecture of the movement is revealed in all its raw precision, echoing the Brutalist spirit behind the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hublot deepens its connection to New York City with the third edition of the Concrete Jungle series, following the 2016 Big Bang and the 2020 Classic Fusion. The timepiece also commemorates the relocation of Hublot\u2019s flagship boutique to its new home on Fifth Avenue. Marking a bold new chapter for the brand in the city, the new location reinforces Hublot\u2019s presence in one of the world\u2019s most iconic luxury retail destinations. The boutique\u2019s new fa\u00e7ade mirrors the industrial-luxury aesthetic of the watch itself: clad in concrete and black brushed aluminum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Concrete Jungle MECA-10 comes with two interchangeable straps: a grey fabric strap with Velcro fastener and Hublot\u2019s signature black lined rubber, easily swapped with the brand\u2019s \u201cOne Click\u201d system. Each timepiece is packaged in a one of a kind Hublot Green box featuring a stylized rendering of the New York City Skyline exclusive to this edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unexpected, unapologetic, and undeniably New York, this special edition Big Bang MECA-10 Concrete Jungle is available now at the new Hublot Fifth Avenue flagship boutique and on&nbsp;Hublot.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hublot New York City Boutique&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">645 5<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Ave, New York, NY 10022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aes-custom-banner\">\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/imp.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(25522094)a(2352007)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=348276&#038;a=2352007&#038;g=25522094\" target=\"_blank\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+uri+'\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" border=\"0\"><\/a>');\n<\/script>\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concrete-once a symbol of Brutalism and big infrastructure\u2014has become a pillar of high design, continually reimagined for its texture, tonality, and radical versatility.
