Introducing the Hublot Big Bang Unico Arturo Fuente Ceramic Limited Edition Replica
Hublot once again joined hands with the cigar brand Arturo Fuente to present the new Hublot Big Bang Unico Arturo Fuente Ceramic watch replica 421.CI.0190.VR.OPX21, in order to present the old Carlos A. Fuente (Carlos A. Fuente Sr.) pays tribute. He is not only a legend in the cigar industry, but also a trendsetter, as well as the father of the Fuente family and the founder of the family industry.
The Story
Taking over the reins of the family business in 1956, Carlos Sr. was ambitious and sought to expand the business, first in other parts of Florida before setting his sights on New York City. Carlos Sr. successfully enabled the company to flourish in the 1960s Unfortunately, the United States embargo against Cuba forced the Fuentes to move their cigar production to Nicaragua. However, the family suffered further misfortune when, in 1978, their factory was burned down by Sandinista revolutionaries.
Once again, the Fuentes were forced into exile and moved their operations to Honduras. In 1980, the new factory also burned down. Despite this run of bad luck, Don Carlos did not give up the fight, and he opened a new factory in the Dominican Republic. Since then, Arturo Fuente cigars have become one of the most highly renowned and most sought-after brands in the world.
The Big Bang Unico Arturo Fuente Ceramic watch replica pays tribute to the remarkable saga of Carlos A. Fuente Sr. His vast knowledge of his field, along with his dedication and his vision for his brand, made him a shining light to those who knew him and a reference for the cigar industry. With the help of Manny Iriarte, the Fuente family's designer, the teams at Hublot have infused the iconic Big Bang with all the codes which are so dear to the Dominican cigar company.
The Case & Dial
The intricate laser-engraved pattern on the 44-mm black ceramic case depicts tobacco leaves gently swaying in the wind, a reference to the agricultural heart of the Fuente family business — and somewhat reminiscent of the decorative engravings on the titanium and rose-gold cases of 2017's Classic Fusion ForbiddenX editions replica as well as the actual tobacco-leaf dial of the rare and elusive 2015 edition. A majestic crowned lion emblem adorns the 9 o'clock subdial on the watch's openworked dial, recalling Fuente's historical role as a supplier of cigars to the Spanish court. Perhaps most significantly to those familiar with Hublot and its Hublot Big Bang replica models, the dial also sports stylized, applied Roman numerals — a rarity for Hublot and a specific call-out to the clock pictured on the Fuente family crest, which itself inspired the family motto, “We will never rush the hands of time.”
The Caseback
The back of the timepiece also features its share of special flourishes, including the historical Fuente logo inscribed in the center of the sapphire window; the initials “CF” for Carlos Fuente, Sr. replacing the traditional “AF” for Arturo Fuente; and the Spanish phrase “Edición de homenaje” (“Edition in homage”). Finally, each caseback features the personal dedication by Carlito Fuente on behalf of the family and cigar company that he built: “Our Father, Our Friend, Our Hero.
Behind that ornate exhibition caseback beats Hublot’s Unico Caliber HUB1242, equipped with an integrated, column-wheel-controlled flyback chronograph function and a date display that shares the 60-minute chronograph totalizer at 3 o’clock. The movement, made in-house at Hublot’s manufacture in Nyon, outside of Geneva, Switzerland, features automatic winding, a frequency of 28,800 vph, and a power reserve of 72 hours.
