The luxury Swiss watchmaker and the English synth-pop legends Depeche Mode introducing the new Spirit of Big Bang Depeche Mode. Through this collaboration, Hublot and Depeche Mode continue their mission to raise funds for Conservation Collective, a global charity that unites a network of regional philanthropic foundations working to protect, conserve and restore natural environments.
Designed in homage to Depeche Mode’s latest album and world tour, Memento Mori, the watch features a decidedly dark polished black ceramic 42mm case, a striking skull motif embellished with an hourglass a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life. The indices take the form of pyramid-shaped studs, a motif echoed on the black ceramic bezel.
It houses a self-winding HUB1710_SD calibre movement with a 50-hour power reserve. Each of the Spirit of Big Bang Depeche Mode comes with two straps, one made from recycled materials that’s fastened by Velcro, and another made from black rubber that’s fastened with a black titanium clasp.
Each of the 100 pieces in this limited edition will come in a special box containing a wonderful surprise: a 10-inch vinyl single of Depeche Mode’s 2023 single “Wagging Tongue,” manufactured using green energy and recycled Polyvinyl Chloride, priced at $34,100.
