Hublot x Depeche Mode, the Soul of the Rock Band in a Watch

Hublot and Depeche Mode, both born in the same year in 1980, perfectly synchronized in creating a new superwatch. It’s the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Depeche Mode, paying homage to the English band’s latest album and their worldwide tour named Memento Mori. The watch, characterized by the classic tonneau shape of the Spirit of Big Bang, is a special edition distinguished by its total black look, one of the hallmarks of the Swiss watchmaking brand. On the dial, there’s a skull, symbolizing the collaboration with Depeche Mode, and an hourglass, representing the passage of time. In the center of the dial, small black ceramic spheres move back and forth with the wrist’s motion, symbolizing the concept of Memento Mori. The collaboration between Hublot and Depeche Mode has a dual purpose: raising awareness on environmental and humanitarian issues and raising funds for these causes (the price is around €35,000). This partnership, lasting for 14 years, has already raised over $2.3 million for charitable organizations like the Teenage Cancer Trust and Charity: Water.
