A Watches & Wonders 2026 now taking place in Geneva, Hublot has unveiled a timepiece that channels the unstoppable ambition of one of football’s most magnetic icons. The Big Bang Reloaded Kylian Mbappé marks the very first limited edition collaboration between the Swiss Maison and its ambassador of eight years.
This 200-piece edition is more than a mere accessory; it is confidence engineered in gold and white ceramic, designed to mirror the fearless and decisive mindset of a global legend.
The aesthetic of the piece is a study in clarity and ambition. The 44 mm case combines polished 18K King Gold with microblasted white ceramic, while the skeletonized dial features matte anthracite ruthenium-plating with sharp white accents.
At the center of the design, the King Gold-toned number 10 shines with contemporary edge, a direct nod to Mbappé’s iconic squad number and player identity.
The philosophy behind the watch is deeply personal, centered on the mantra "Trust Yourself" which is engraved directly onto the bezel at 6 o'clock. This ethos has guided Mbappé from his first professional goal a decade ago to his current status as a world champion.
Hublot has captured this spirit of explosive acceleration and precision, creating a tool for those who are ready to take their shot in life and in business.
"Working on this watch with Hublot gave me the chance to reflect on my journey, every match, every goal, every big moment. Building it with a partner who has believed in me since 2018 makes it even more special. This is more than a watch. It carries a message I live by: trust yourself, take your chance, create your own path. The number 10 is my lucky number, my identity on the pitch. The white and gold symbolize clarity and ambition."
"And with 'Trust Yourself' engraved at 6 o'clock, this piece is a reminder of how I've always played, with confidence, freedom and passion. It's about chasing dreams, pushing limits and inspiring the next generation to believe in themselves and pursue success with heart. That's the power of dreams. That's what drives me," said Kylian Mbappé.
Technically, the timepiece performs with the mechanical authority for which Hublot is renowned. It is powered by the HUB1280 Unico Manufacture flyback chronograph caliber, which boasts a 72-hour power reserve and features a dial-side column wheel.
This advanced integrated chronograph reveals its inner architecture through the sapphire crystal case-back, allowing the oscillating clutch and flyback mechanism to be more visible than ever before.
The model offers versatility for the modern pioneer with two interchangeable One Click wristbands. Wearers may choose between a King-gold-toned fabric Velcro strap or a black-and-white rubber strap lined with the KM logo. "In one strike, Kylian can change the course of a game. He embodies explosive acceleration, precision in decision-making and the courage to take responsibility when it matters most," noted Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot.
This collaboration ensures that the legacy of speed and ambition remains truly unstoppable.
