[Hublot] A special model celebrating the Year of the Horse, 88 pieces! A watch embodying the powerful spirit of the horse

In this milestone year, the choice of watch is not just about time management; it reflects one's own attitude. The model released by Hublot to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse is finished in a way that embodies the spirit of "not stopping, but moving forward."

Symbol of “progress” embodied in the Year of the Horse!

Hublot announced a special timepiece, “Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Horse Frosted Carbon,” to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse at LVMH Watch Week 2026. Only 88 pieces are available. This rare model is a fusion of Hublot's material innovation and cultural symbolism.
In Chinese culture, the horse symbolizes ambition, perseverance, and the momentum to move forward. The dial of this piece is designed with inspiration drawn from Tang dynasty art, showcasing a horse outlined in gold that displays a powerful and dynamic stance. This motif, also referred to as the "Spirit of the Dragon Horse," resonates with Hublot's philosophy of continuously embracing challenges and never standing still. It is not merely a zodiac motif, but an expression that symbolizes a "way of life," embedded throughout the watch.
The most distinctive feature is the carbon marquetry used on the dial. By cutting, aligning, and assembling carbon—a material that is among the most challenging to handle in modern watchmaking—by hand, it is finished to resemble intricate inlay work.
Additionally, the horse motif is expressed through brass appliqués coated in 3N gold plate. The black lacquer base highlights the contrast between carbon and gold, creating a depth of expression.

The movement is equipped with the automatic mechanical "HUB1710." It features approximately 50 hours of power reserve, ensuring stable accuracy and autonomy for daily use. The energy symbolized by the horse—strength, speed, and precision—seems to resonate with the heartbeat of the movement, completing the story of the entire watch.
