The two iconic Swiss brands have revolutionized the worlds of watchmaking and coffee. Now the fusion of their creativity and expertise has resulted in the Big Bang Unico Nespresso Origin, the first watch made from recycled aluminum capsules and coffee grounds.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Big Bang Unico Nespresso Origin is the fruit of close collaboration between Hublot and Nespresso R&amp;D teams. Recycled aluminum fused with aluminum capsules becomes the 42mm case, the bezel, the crown and the pusher. The rubber strap fuses coffee grounds and recycled rubber. Thanks to Hublot\u2019s patented One Click interchangeable strap system, the strap can be switched out for a 100% recycled fabric version developed with Nespresso partner SingTex. The fabric, called Scaf\u00e9, is composed of 5% coffee grounds and 95% recycled polyester. This is the first time it has been used to make a watch strap.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/441.ug_.5220.rx_.nes23-ls-5-vertical-original-408x510-1.jpeg\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/441.ug_.5220.rx_.nes23-ls-5-vertical-original-408x510-1.jpeg 408w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/441.ug_.5220.rx_.nes23-ls-5-vertical-original-408x510-1-240x300.jpeg 240w\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/441.ug_.5220.rx_.nes23-ls-5-vertical-original-408x510-1.jpeg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65175 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/441.ug_.5220.rx_.nes23-ls-5-vertical-original-408x510-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/441.ug_.5220.rx_.nes23-ls-5-vertical-original-408x510-1.jpeg 408w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/441.ug_.5220.rx_.nes23-ls-5-vertical-original-408x510-1-240x300.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt took our R&amp;D teams a whole year to achieve the uniformity of color for the watch\u2019s seven different materials, find the right balance of ingredients and perform the quality and durability testing on all the product components,\u201d<\/em> says Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe.
