Mumbai, January 19: Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot has unveiled a new special series of watches made from tennis star Novak Djokovic's worn polo shirts and rackets. The series, called the Big Bang Tourbillon Novak Djokovic GOAT Edition, pays tribute to Djokovic's record-breaking career, including his 24 Grand Slam titles and long reign as world No.1.
The watches use AI-processed composite material made from Lacoste shirts and Head rackets that Djokovic used in actual matches. Ahead of the tennis season, the launch has generated strong interest among collectors due to its unusual materials and limited surface-based numbering.
Three Variants Based on Court Surfaces
The edition comes in three colors linked to tennis surfaces:
1. Blue (hard court) - 72 units
2. Orange (clay) - 21 units
3. Green (grass) - 8 units
The numbers correspond to Djokovic's wins on each surface. Hublot may add more units in future depending on new wins.

2. Twelve shirts and twelve rackets were processed for production
