Introducing: Hublot Big Bang MECA-10 Aspen One. First Partnership with a U.S. Ski Destination.

Hublot is proud to announce the launch of the Big Bang MECA-10 Aspen One. The third exclusive timepiece was created in partnership with Aspen One, the parent company of Aspen Snowmass, recognized as one of North America’s most iconic ski destinations. As the Official Timekeeper and Resort Partner, Hublot celebrates its ongoing partnership with this premiere alpine destination by capturing its spirit of adventure, luxury, and precision in this special edition.

 Since 2019, Hublot and Aspen One have shared a dynamic six-year partnership grounded in innovation and luxury. The well-known ski destination features four world-class mountains and the idyllic towns of Aspen and Snowmass which embody the confluence of culture, adventure, and breathtaking scenery. Together, Hublot and Aspen One debut the Big Bang MECA-10 Aspen One, a design that harmonizes the mountain’s DNA with Hublot’s signature “Art of Fusion.”

This collaboration represents Hublot’s first partnership with a U.S. ski destination cementing its role as an integral part of the Aspen Snowmass’ exclusive experience. The new Hublot Big Bang MECA-10 Aspen One is a testament to Hublot's innovative craftsmanship and Aspen's natural beauty. This special edition watch is equipped with a 45 mm black ceramic middle case with a white ceramic bezel, producing a striking contrast that reflects the pristine alpine landscape. Highlighting the iconic Aspen Leaf logo at twelve—conceptualized by Bauhaus proponent Herbert Bayer and refreshed in 2021, encapsulates the region’s essence and is prominently featured in Hublot’s design—a symbol of enduring heritage. Through other components like the high-shine titanium elements, Hublot pays homage to the region's heritage evoking Aspen's silver mining roots.

 “We are incredibly proud of our longstanding partnership with Aspen One, America’s prestigious mountain destination and renowned ski and hospitality specialists. Since 2019 we have partnered with Aspen Snowmass as an official timekeeper and resort partner—marking Hublot with an enduring connection to this iconic locale. Fusing alpine excellence with the fine craftsmanship for which Hublot is celebrated, we are thrilled to mark the debut of our third timepiece, the Big Bang MECA-10 Aspen One, with the legendary Aspen Snowmass.”—Julian Tornare, CEO Hublot.
