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.

The watch can be viewed at the Baselworld trade fair

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".
