A Muse, the 21st century woman    

In turn wife, mother, friend, lover, business woman, femme fatale, fashion icon

or night owl, for every hour of the day the modern woman sets herself apart as

unpredictable, multifaceted and unique. She is disarming and makes light of the

simple or complex adventures that she comes up against; drawing upon her charm,

she juggles the lives that fill each of her days.  

Big Bang One Click Marc Ferrero   

The dial tells the story of this heroine of modern times with 'Lipstick', an

iconic work by the artist. Enigmatic behind her dark glasses, she remains

majestic in the face of the unexpected and affirms her femininity, armed with

her lipstick. Spinels in shades of red, topazes for the turquoise version, and

forty-two fine stones decorate the bezel of the new 39-mm case, which is

adjusted to her feminine wrists. With one touch of its "One Click" patented

fastening system, the leather strap makes way for a version in alligator and

rubber, a touch of sophistication appropriate for the moment. Available in red

and turquoise, the special series will be available in 50 copies of each tone.

"When I am asked 'What innovative and modern idea develops your painting?'

Without hesitation, I answer fusion... Using different graphic styles (cubism,

impressionism, surrealism, figurative, etc.) on the same plane or over my

works-just like a film director uses special effects to tell a story-will

always represent an extremely exciting challenge for me." Marc Ferrero

Watchmaking and painting in movement: fusion   

Hublot and Marc Ferrero cultivate the art of exploration in their respective

fields, with fusion as the guiding principle. For the watchmaking house, it is

the unexpected blend of rare and innovative materials and for the artist and

friend of the brand, it is the combination of different graphic styles on the

same plane. It was therefore natural for their innovative spirits to find a

shared expression, with watchmaking as a vehicle for art. A story of timeless

adventures is embodied by the Big Bang One Click Marc Ferrero timepiece. A

flagship announcement linking to the "Hublot loves Art" series.

Marc Ferrero   

You don't position yourself at the head of a new pictorial trend without a

great knowledge of painting and the major developments that have marked its

history. Marc Ferrero is one of the few contemporary painters who make it

possible to claim that painting can still explore new avenues and continue,

thanks to the power of the imagination, last century's graphical adventure,

which was the richest in terms of pictorial research. Marc Ferrero's body of

work, associated with the Storytelling Art movement never ceases to intrigue

because it possesses characteristics that are found nowhere else: fictional

stories that take us around the world and refer to all kinds of cultures and

invented characters, like real mirrors of the collective aspirations of our

times. A forgotten mix of all sorts of graphic styles on the same plane, which

modifies the notions of space-time of the pictorial field. An interplay between

narrative breakdowns and variations of planes that allow each Work to be the

pretext for an extraordinary adventure.

Living with a work by Marc Ferrero means giving your walls captivating stories

and expanding spaces by following in the footsteps of Lisa L'aventura, Duke

Spencer Percival and Cello Cordoba in an adventure that is called: "Once Upon a

Time La Comitive".
