Pastel perfection meets high-performing horology in Hublot’s new Big Bang summer 2026 collection.
Inspired by the shades of the Mediterranean, this new iteration of the watchmaker’s key style comes in mint, pink and sky-blue, multi-coloured and features its signature ceramic craftsmanship.
To celebrate, Hublot hosted a sun-drenched soiree at Bagatelle in St. Tropez and employed Paloma Bonnie Le Friant to be behind the decks. Here, we catch up with the model and DJ to hear more about the watch and her fave Big Bang(er) of the summer.
PBLF: Hi 10 Magazine. I’m Paloma. We’re with Hublot in Saint Tropez today, and it’s so good to talk to you.
What watch are you wearing?
I’m wearing the brand new, out today, Big Bang in Summer Multi-Coloured Ceramic 42mm. It’s the big one [and you] can change it. You can wear the pastel pink, the pastel green or the pastel blue wristband, and I think that’s beautiful. It’s brand new, and actually Hublot makes its own ceramics in-house in Switzerland – it’s the only watch brand to ever do it, so that’s why it’s so special.
When do you wear it, and what do you wear it with?
I wear it on a regular basis, and I think you have to wear it with a white tank top and jeans, something casual, something monochrome, just because the watch is the whole fit, so you need nothing else than that.
What is your big banger for summer?
My big banger for summer, it’s a new version of Fireball, it’s a song by my father, Bob Sinclar. It’s a 2026 version of Fireball, which was my favourite song when I was little, and it’s brand new remakes out now, and I love it. I play it every day.
