The Hublo Big Bang Unico Golf: A Mechanical Timepiece for the Discerning Golfer

There are golf watches and then there is the Hublo Big Bang Unico golf, the ultimate time piece for anyone who lives life on the links. This watch is not just a commemoration of a sport, but an innovative mechanical timepiece designed specifically to track progress through the game. Hublo has a rich history in making watches linked to sports or sporting brands, from Ferrari to this year's Cricut tie-up. However, the Big Bang Unico golf is different - it's not just about serving a purpose; it has a genuine function that performs in a deliciously tactile manner.

The watch's primary function is to keep track of your score. When you look at the face, you'll see three windows at 9:00, 3:00, and 6:00, which show which hole you're playing, the shot count, and the overall score. This is not GPS-controlled, so it doesn't alter these aspects for you; everything is done mechanically using the buttons on the side. To hit a shot, press the shot button every time you hit the ball. The figure marked in yellow advances along with the overall score at the bottom of the face when you've sunk the ball. Pressing the whole button moves on to the next hole and resets the shot count to zero while keeping the overall score intact.

The buttons on the watch are extremely tactile and need some heft to operate, which is a great experience for those who are used to soft touch buttons on smartwatches or digital devices. It feels very different from pressing down on power-assisted steering in a car - you can feel and see the movement of the watch as you press it. Using the Big Bang Unico golf is something of an event in itself, and this is emphasized further when you put it on the 45mm case, which is large and over 18mm thick. While it's not for those who prefer to hide their accessories, it's highly wearable due to its weight (98G) and well-thought-out case design, making it suitable for wear at any time.

Despite being designed specifically for golfers, the watch has a range of features that make it appealing beyond just the sport. The version seen here is in Hublo's latest blue Texalium and features a case made from titanium carbon fiber with sapphire crystal over the face and the case back. It's a highly technical and wonderfully tactile piece of wearable art, showcasing the brand's commitment to innovation and style. The Unico movement inside has a specially developed scoring module added to it and is automatic with a 72-hour power reserve.

The Big Bang Unico golf comes at a cost, with an original price tag of $33,500 in the US or $26,900 in the UK. Furthermore, there are only 200 being made, so finding one will be quite challenging for those who want to own this exclusive timepiece. Hublo has stated that it won't make another smartwatch again, but if it continues to experiment with innovative and fun mechanical watches like the Big Bang Unico golf, we don't really mind. After all, the world's first mechanical golf watch is a truly remarkable piece of craftsmanship that embodies the spirit of golfing and horology alike.
