HUBLOT BECOMES PARTNER OF LEDGER AND COMBINES PREMIUM CRYPTO TECHNOLOGY WITH TRADITIONAL WATCHMAKING CRAFTSMANSHIP

Hublot loves crypto! The Swiss watchmaker today presents the Big Bang Unico Ledger, an epoch-making watch co-developed with Ledger. Ledger is the world's leading and most secure platform for cryptocurrencies and digital assets, already trusted by more than 4 million customers worldwide. The watch bridges the gap between premium crypto technology and traditional watch craftsmanship.

The Big Bang Unico Ledger package includes three essential elements: the watch, a limited-edition Ledger Nano X crypto wallet, and a special sapphire crystal watch box.

The watch is based on the Big Bang Unico, which features a 42mm black ceramic case and an in-house skeletonized automatic chronograph movement. A real eye-catcher is the starkly contrasting gold bezel, cast from solid 'elektron' or 'electrum', a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver mined in Lydia around 580-590 BC. BC the oldest known coins were minted. For the watch, Hublot's research and development department specially developed a version of the alloy that is resistant to discoloration and consists of half gold and half silver. The Latin Bitcoin motto "Vires in numeris" - strength in numbers - is embossed six times in the outer edge of the bezel. Together, these themes capture the spirit of both the world's oldest and youngest currencies. The Ledger logo and the respective number in the limited edition of 50 pieces are engraved on the case back.

Included is the Ledger & Hublot Nano X, a limited edition crypto stick that will only be available with the watch. The Nano X is Ledger's signature digital asset wallet, a market-leading Bluetooth-connected hardware device for securely encrypting, storing, managing and growing cryptocurrency assets. The Nano X features a matte black finish and bears the Ledger and Hublot logos.

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Ledger will go down in history as a game changer - namely as the first wristwatch that perfectly fuses high watchmaking art and premium crypto technology. Be First, Unique, Different.
