2026: Pastel ceramic across the Big Bang line

Hublot has pushed pastel ceramic into multiple Big Bang formats for 2026 — not just a dial treatment, but cases and surfaces across the range. The launch continues the brand's annual summer series that has been presented in Saint-Tropez since 2017.

What the line contains

The collection spans three clear pillars: manufacture chronographs, a tourbillon and compact automatic models. That mix gives collectors options for statement pieces and wearable everyday models within the same colour story.

Hublot describes the range as a "lighter, seasonal interpretation of the Big Bang."

The common thread is coloured ceramic. Hublot positions it as a demonstration of its mastery of the material — applying pastel tones across casework and finishes rather than limiting colour to bezels or dials. Expect visual continuity across the models while proportions and complexity differentiate them.

Design-wise, the approach reads as seasonal and deliberate. The manufacture chronographs will carry the line’s mechanical emphasis. The tourbillon is the headline technical statement. The compact automatics provide a lower-profile alternative for buyers who want the look without the bulk.

If you follow Hublot's summer editions, this one signals the brand doubling down on colour as a platform rather than a novelty. For buying strategy: target the chronographs for wrist presence, the tourbillon if you want the technical showpiece, and the compact automatic if you prefer subtlety in the same pastel palette. Will Hublot extend these pastels into other collections or keep them seasonal? That will determine long-term appeal.
