Popular for his outstanding performance, Novak Djokovic is a tennis athlete who’s won many tennis titles. For starters, he has the highest number of grand slam wins, which makes him a record-breaker, with 24 titles.

To put it simply, the grand slam title is always awarded to the winner of all tennis championships in a season.

Since the Hublot Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic draws inspiration from Djokovic, it is manufactured from materials in the player’s personal collection. The casing is built from recycled materials—polo shirts and tennis rackets—which Novak used while he was breaking tennis records in 2023.

The casing has an interesting appearance, characterized by a cloth-like texture due to the lactose polo shirts. Everything that’s been used on the casing is strengthened by epoxy, glass fiber, and quartz powder to improve the watch’s durability.

As a watch inspired by a record-breaking tennis player, this timepiece is fitted with pushers that look like tennis balls.

The second hand also complements the pusher, thanks to the white and neon yellow hue. Speaking of which, the second hand is fitted with an interesting counterweight that honors the 24-time grand slam champion. Most Hublot watches have counterweights with the same design as the brand’s logo. However, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic features a counterweight that draws inspiration from Novak’s official logo.

In an effort to make the watch as light as possible, Hublot opted for light and comfortable materials while designing this piece. For instance, the front face is fitted with gorilla glass—a very lightweight and durable material that’s more sturdy than regular sapphire.

Thanks to the open-work dial, which is made of aluminum, this watch has a very stylish front, featuring appealing and stylish hour markers. And when it comes to the overall performance, it is powered by the 1280 Unico movement.

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic retails at $52,700.

VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies sends 10% of proceeds to prevent forest fires
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

VERO Watches is built to find the man who embraces his lineage. I am not talking about his nationality. I am not talking about his race or his heritage. I am talking about the lineage that brought us from the caves and the frontier to the more civilized and modernized world we recognize today. These are watches for explorers. These are watches for the man who ditches the cubicle and the office. The boardroom is a prison for our adventurous spirit, and VERO figured that out and is creating watches to help the man disappear from that existence to reclaim his place in the wilderness. Now that the dramatic part is over, I can tell you about the new drop featuring one of our favorite characters from our childhood, Smokey the Bear. The new VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies is set up to remind all of us of one single truth.

Preventing forest fires is your responsibility

Watches That Celebrate America
What makes an American watch today? We explore the brands keeping the country's horological tradition alive.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

My first horological crushes were glamorous European supermodels with names like Cartier, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe. As my tastes matured, the Far East captured my fancy when I discovered the restrained elegance of Naoya Hida, Grand Seiko, and Hajime Asaoka. But every rambling heart eventually finds its way home. Now, a seasoned chronophile, I'm head over heels for all-American beauties.

I sat down with American horology hero Cameron Weiss to learn about the history of Yankee watchmaking. After cutting his teeth at Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin, Cameron founded Weiss Watch Company, a trailblazer in the revival of American mechanical watchmaking. Cameron also hosts two of the internet’s most entertaining watch podcasts: Watch & Listen and The Watchmaker’s Workshop.

525 cyclist victories went into building Brietling’s newest watch
Breitling honors one of the greatest cycling legends of all time in their newest watch

Breitling has been a mainstay in the luxury watch world for as long as watches have been on the wrists of explorers around the world. After their success with the iconic Navitimer, Breitling looked for a new way to make a splash, and boy, did they find a great one in the early sixties. When they dropped the Breitling Top Time, it was a revolution, the kind that showed up on the wrist of one of the most famous people in the world. When James Bond wears a watch, it becomes an icon, a legend. Now, the Top Time didn't have the Geiger counter on it that Sean Connery's did in 1965's Thunderball, but it was a pillar for the next decade. Following the discontinuation in the 1970s and the relaunch in 2020, Breitling has dropped a new version honoring one of the greatest cyclists to ever pedal.

Eddy Merckx is the greatest cyclist of all time. His record speaks for itself. These watches capture that drive, that constant push to go further, faster, and push limits. - Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO, Breitling
