Coffee Time

IF YOU TAKE A GANDER across social media, the plethora of images featuring a watch beside a cup of java or styled beside some “casually strewn” coffee beans, tells me that there’s a greater than expected overlap of coffee lovers within the watch community.

As part of its Second Life initiatives over the last seven years, Nespresso has partnered with Hublot, joining forces on the creation of a Big Bang timepiece based on recycling and circularity. Sharing the values of innovation, excellence and sustainability, the Big Bang Unico Nespresso Origin is a result of this partnership, joining the Art of Fusion (developing new materials and composites) and the Art of Coffee (new blends, state-of-the-art dispensing systems).

This extraordinary collaboration has resulted in a world first: The pioneering spirit of Hublot and Nespresso has transformed spent coffee grounds from capsules into watch straps. The case, bezel, crown and pusher are made of recycled aluminium fused with aluminium capsules.
