Hublot Superclone Spirit Of Big Bang King Gold Skeleton 641.0X.7180.LR
The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang represents a bold evolution of the brand's iconic design language—taking the Big Bang's revolutionary "Art of Fusion" philosophy and reimagining it in a distinctive tonneau case that breaks free from conventional round watch architecture. This SuperClone edition faithfully recreates the reference 641.0X.7180.LR, featuring a fully skeletonized movement housed in Hublot's proprietary King Gold case, creating a timepiece that's equal parts mechanical sculpture and haute horlogerie. This is watchmaking without boundaries, where technical transparency meets precious metal luxury.
Architectural Innovation
The Spirit of Big Bang's tonneau case is a masterclass in three-dimensional design. The multi-layered construction features Hublot's signature exposed screws, integrated lugs, and architectural bridges that create depth and visual complexity. The barrel-shaped case sits comfortably on the wrist despite its bold 42mm width, while the skeletonized dial reveals the intricate automatic movement in stunning detail. Every angle offers a new perspective on the mechanical artistry within, making this a watch that rewards close inspection.
King Gold Excellence
Hublot's proprietary King Gold alloy represents a significant advancement over traditional 18K rose gold. By increasing the copper content and adding a small percentage of platinum, Hublot has created an alloy that delivers a richer, more intense red hue that resists fading over time. The result is a warm, lustrous finish that photographs beautifully and maintains its brilliance indefinitely. Each case is crafted from solid King Gold, hallmarked to 750/1000 purity, and finished with a combination of polished and satin surfaces that create dynamic light play.

Skeleton Movement Mastery
The fully skeletonized HUB4700 movement is a work of mechanical art. Every bridge, wheel, and component has been meticulously open-worked to remove all non-essential material while maintaining structural integrity and precision. The result is a transparent architecture that reveals the ballet of gears, the oscillation of the balance wheel, and the winding of the mainspring barrel. Circular graining, Geneva stripes, and polished bevels adorn every visible surface, creating a movement that's as beautiful as it is functional.
The skeletonization extends to the dial side, where applied King Gold hour markers appear to float above the movement. The date window at 4:30 integrates seamlessly into the architecture, while the central hands sweep across the transparent dial with precision. This is horological transparency at its finest—nothing hidden, everything revealed.
Tonneau Case Design
The Spirit of Big Bang's tonneau case represents a departure from the round Big Bang while maintaining the collection's DNA. The barrel shape creates a distinctive wrist presence that's both vintage-inspired and thoroughly contemporary. The multi-layered construction features polished King Gold surfaces contrasted with satin-finished sides, creating depth and visual interest. The integrated lugs flow seamlessly into the case, while the exposed screws and architectural bridges pay homage to the Big Bang's industrial aesthetic.
At 42mm wide and 51mm lug-to-lug, the Spirit of Big Bang wears larger than its dimensions suggest—this is a statement piece that commands attention. The 14mm thickness accommodates the skeletonized movement while maintaining reasonable proportions. The curved case back ensures comfortable wear despite the bold dimensions.
King Gold vs. Traditional Rose Gold
Hublot's King Gold alloy delivers a noticeably richer, more intense red hue compared to traditional 18K rose gold. The increased copper content creates warmth and depth, while the addition of platinum ensures the color remains stable over time—traditional rose gold can fade or shift color with age and exposure. King Gold maintains its brilliant red-gold finish indefinitely, ensuring your watch looks as stunning decades from now as it does today. This proprietary alloy is exclusive to Hublot and represents a significant technical achievement in precious metal watchmaking.
Strap & Deployment Clasp
The black structured lined rubber strap provides a striking contrast to the warm King Gold case while ensuring comfort in any climate. The rubber is molded with a textured pattern that adds visual interest and prevents slippage. The King Gold deployment clasp features a push-button release mechanism and is finished to the same exacting standards as the case. The strap is easily interchangeable, allowing you to customize the look with alternative straps (sold separately).
Versatility & Wearability
Despite its bold design and skeletonized movement, the Spirit of Big Bang is remarkably versatile. The King Gold case elevates it into dress watch territory, making it suitable for formal occasions, while the rubber strap and sporty architecture allow it to transition to casual wear with ease. The tonneau case creates a distinctive wrist presence that pairs beautifully with tailoring, yet feels equally at home with denim and a leather jacket. This is a watch that refuses to be categorized—it's simultaneously elegant and edgy, refined and rebellious.
The Spirit of Big Bang Philosophy
While the Big Bang revolutionized luxury watchmaking with its fusion of materials and bold design, the Spirit of Big Bang takes that philosophy in a new direction. The tonneau case offers a fresh perspective on Hublot's design language, while the skeletonized movement adds technical transparency and mechanical artistry. This is a watch for those who appreciate innovation, who value individuality over conformity, and who understand that true luxury lies in exceptional craftsmanship and fearless design.

Quality Assurance
Every Spirit of Big Bang SuperClone undergoes comprehensive quality control before dispatch. We regulate the HUB4700 skeleton movement for optimal accuracy and power reserve performance, inspect the King Gold case for flawless finishing and proper hallmarking, verify the skeletonization quality and movement decoration, test water resistance to 100 meters, and examine both sapphire crystals for clarity and anti-reflective coating quality. The deployment clasp is tested for smooth operation and secure closure. Your watch arrives ready to wear, backed by our commitment to excellence.
Care & Maintenance
King Gold is highly resistant to tarnishing and fading, but should be cleaned periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap solution to maintain its luster. The skeletonized movement is visible from both sides, so avoid exposing the watch to dusty environments when possible. The rubber strap can be cleaned with water and mild soap. We recommend having the movement serviced every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields or extreme shocks, and ensure the crown is properly secured before any water exposure.
Styling Recommendations
The King Gold case and black rubber strap create a versatile foundation that works with a wide range of styles. Pair it with navy or charcoal suiting for formal occasions, brown leather and earth tones for smart casual, or black denim and a crisp white shirt for contemporary elegance. The warm gold tone complements both warm and cool color palettes, while the skeletonized dial adds visual interest that elevates any outfit. This is a conversation piece that announces your appreciation for mechanical artistry and bold design.
The Hublot Difference
What separates Hublot from traditional luxury watchmakers? It's the willingness to challenge conventions, to fuse unexpected materials, and to prioritize bold design over safe choices. The Spirit of Big Bang embodies this philosophy with its tonneau case, skeletonized movement, and King Gold construction. This is not a watch for those who seek to blend in—it's for individuals who understand that true luxury lies in exceptional craftsmanship, innovative materials, and the courage to be different.
