As the 10th annual SIAR Mexico opens its doors, Hublot is paying tribute to one of the most popular holidays in Mexico, "El Dia de los Muertos", which translates to Day of the Dead. This holiday is a celebration recognised as part of world cultural heritage (UNESCO) since 2008. A tradition which focuses on gatherings of families and friends to pray for and remember people who have died and help support their spiritual journey. This celebration may seem morbid but is in actual fact, a true celebration of life.

An Aztec tradition, dating back more than three centuries, later influenced by both Spanish and Christian customs. A vibrant, joyful, and colourful celebration which, on the BIG BANG, takes the form of a "calavera" (the symbolic skull), the spirit of which imbues the watch from its dial to engraved bezel, all the way through to its stamped bracelet. 44 mm in diameter.
