Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot has unveiled its new watch Big Bang Blockchain in an official announcement September 19.

The new model has been released to commemorate the upcoming 10th anniversary of Bitcoin.

As per Hublot's release, the 210-piece limited edition can only be purchased with BTC. The number of units symbolises the fact that the number of bitcoins will never exceed 21 million.

The new Hublot model will be delivered to its buyers in the beginning of 2019.

The elite Swiss brand has also paid a tribute to blockchain technology, calling it "a revolution in the financial system".

The Swiss brand is not the only one to commemorate Bitcoin's upcoming anniversary.

An art gallery in Paris has announced an exhibition called Bitcoin Artevolution which aims "To show the potential of cryptocurrencies".

Bitcoin originally emerged in 2008, at the height of the global financial crisis, when a white paper authored by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto was published.

The white paper, titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," was released on bitcoin.org on October 31 - a date that is widely considered as ground zero for BTC, although the first actual bitcoin was mined on January 3, 2009.

Over the almost ten years since the mining of the first Bitcoin block, many have proclaimed the cryptocurrency dead - more than 300 times overall, as Cointelegraph reported earlier.
