Biography
Maxime Büchi is one of the greatest tattoo artists nowadays. Swiss by birth and Londoner by adoption, he created the Sang Bleu London Tattoo Studio, bringing together a dozen top-flight tattooists.
The collaboration between Hublot and Sang Bleu takes the form of a glass and metal sculpture. A work made of singular shapes spatially transposing the visual codes that create the watch’s architecture. A unique motif, drawn out by the subtle play and superposition of rings and squares, not only evokes the quadrature of circle but also tells the time in an audacious manner.
This example limited in 200 pieces , equipped with the HUB 1213 self-winding movement that offers a 72-hour power reserve, the watch shows hours, minutes and seconds. They are indicated on the matt blue dial via octagonal skeleton hands that are designed by Maxime Büchi.
