A nightclub turning 40 usually means a bad DJ and worse drinks. The GreenGo in Gstaad got something better: its own Hublot. The club sits inside the Gstaad Palace Hotel, up in the Swiss Alps, and Hublot decided a birthday that big deserved a watch. The result is the Big Bang Greengo Bang, a 44mm piece in microblasted black ceramic. The finish is completely matte, so light just slides off it. Under the AR-coated sapphire crystal runs the Hublot calibre HUB4100, an automatic movement built in Switzerland.
Production stopped at 40 pieces. One for every year the GreenGo has been pouring drinks for the Gstaad crowd. And here’s the part that stings if you collect these things: the watch is only sold at the Gstaad Palace boutique. No online orders, no flagship stores in other cities. You either go to the Alps or you don’t get one.
Whether a nightclub anniversary justifies a limited edition Hublot is a fair question. But the watch itself looks right at home in the mountains.
