Introduction to Ricardo Guadalupe
Ricardo Guadalupe is the chief executive officer of Hublot, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer headquartered in Nyon, Switzerland. He joined the brand in 2004 and assumed the CEO role in 2012, presiding over a period of sustained commercial growth that saw Hublot expand its global retail footprint, deepen its partnerships with football, Formula 1, and the arts, and sharpen its identity around the concept of fusing precious and industrial materials. Before Hublot, Guadalupe built his career across several pillars of the Swiss watch industry, giving him a technical and commercial grounding that informs how the brand is positioned today. Under his leadership, Hublot has consistently ranked among the top performers within the LVMH watch division.
As an entrepreneur and executive whose professional life is inseparable from a single brand, the Ricardo Guadalupe watch collection is, predictably, anchored entirely in Hublot. He has been photographed wearing the Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon ref. 455.YS.0170.YS, a 50-piece limited edition built around one of the more technically demanding configurations currently in the Hublot catalogue. The 43mm case is constructed from carbon fiber with a Texalium® upper layer — a woven aluminum-coated fiberglass composite — making it a direct expression of the material experimentation that has defined Hublot's design language since the original Big Bang launched in 2005.
What the collection reflects, even from the single confirmed sighting in our database, is a preference for pieces that sit at the intersection of engineering complexity and material craft rather than traditional horological convention. The Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon is not a watch chosen for understatement; it is a piece that communicates technical ambition, which aligns with how Guadalupe has consistently framed Hublot's broader identity. For a CEO who is also the brand's most visible ambassador, the choice to wear a 50-piece limited edition rather than a core catalogue reference carries a degree of intentionality that collectors will find worth noting.

Inserted 27/04/2023
The Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon ref. 455.YS.0170.YS is one of only 50 pieces ever made, pairing a carbon fiber and Texalium® composite case with a flying tourbillon movement delivering 72 hours of power reserve — a technically ambitious package at 43mm that blurs the line between haute horlogerie and avant-garde materials science. It is entirely fitting that the man wearing it is Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot itself, spotted with his brand's most exclusive current limited edition on his wrist.
