timepiece that embodies casual glam lam a at its best: Hublot’s Big Bang Jeans. True to the 33-year-old brand’s reputati reputation for combining the most unexpecte unexpected materials (it teamed gold with rubber in 1980), this watch is the first luxury ti timepiece that uses denim on its dial and strap. But it’s not just any rugged cotton twill that Hublot is using – the brand w worked with the same top-notch denim used use by Italian designer label Dsquare Dsquared2.

If you like your watches understate­d, the sleek, s unadorned steel version will ca catch your fancy. But for more razzled dazzle, you’ll want the Big Bang Jeans Carat or the Big Bang Jeans Diamonds. The former has a bezel set with 48 baguette-cut blue sapphires, while the latter’s is decked with 114 diamonds. Both also have dials decorated with eight additional diamonds.

These stunners make practical timepieces too – all three models have undersides made of rubber sewn onto the denim straps, which means they’re perspirati­on-proof and won’t shift around on your wrist. Each model is limited to 250 pieces worldwide.
