The world of haute horlogerie often intersects with the realms of art and design, creating breathtaking collaborations that transcend the purely functional. This year marks another significant juncture in this creative fusion, as Maxime Plescia-Buchi, the visionary artist and designer behind the renowned Sang Bleu tattoo studio and brand, embarks on his third collaboration with Hublot, the luxury Swiss watchmaker. This time, the partnership culminates in a stunning reimagining of the iconic Spirit of Big Bang, filtered through the distinctive, geometric lens of Sang Bleu. While the title mentions a connection to Chloe Miu Miu, there's no publicly available information linking Plescia-Buchi to that brand in this specific context. This article will focus on the Hublot collaboration, exploring the artistry, the design process, and the man behind the vision.
Interview: Maxime Plescia
To truly understand the depth and complexity of the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu, one must delve into the mind of its creator. An exclusive interview with Maxime Plescia-Buchi reveals the intricate layers of inspiration and execution that underpin this remarkable timepiece.
Interviewer: Maxime, this is your third collaboration with Hublot. What keeps you coming back to this partnership, and what drives your continued creative exploration within the constraints of watchmaking?
Maxime Plescia-Buchi: The relationship with Hublot transcends a simple commercial partnership. It's a genuine dialogue, a mutual respect for pushing boundaries and a shared appreciation for craftsmanship. They understand my artistic vision and trust me to translate it into a tangible, wearable form. The challenge of working within the technical limitations of watchmaking, while simultaneously expressing my artistic language, is incredibly stimulating. It forces me to think differently, to find innovative solutions, and that's what I find so rewarding.
Interviewer: The Sang Bleu aesthetic is instantly recognizable – its geometric precision, its bold lines, its almost architectural feel. How did you translate that signature style into the inherently three-dimensional form of the Spirit of Big Bang?
Maxime Plescia-Buchi: That was the primary challenge, and the most fascinating aspect of the project. My work is often perceived as two-dimensional, but it's inherently about spatial relationships, about the interplay of lines and angles in space. Translating that into a three-dimensional object like a watch required a meticulous approach. We spent countless hours experimenting with different angles, textures, and materials to ensure the design felt both coherent and innovative. The result is a watch that is simultaneously familiar and utterly unique.
Interviewer: Can you speak to the material choices and their significance within the overall design?
Maxime Plescia-Buchi: The materials are integral to the experience. We chose materials that would complement the geometric precision of the design, emphasizing its sharp lines and angular forms. The interplay of polished and brushed surfaces, the weight and feel of the metal – these are all crucial elements in creating a cohesive whole. The choice of materials wasn't arbitrary; it was a deliberate effort to enhance the tactile and visual impact of the design.
