Dimensionality and Elegance Through the Fusion of Materials
Born in 2005, the 25th anniversary of Hublot's founding, the Big Bang was conceived with the concept of "fusion," combining different materials. The new "Big Bang Gold White Diamonds 38mm Automatic" model boasts not only elegant design but also a meticulously crafted mechanical movement.
Hublot was founded in 1980 in Switzerland by Carlo Crocco. Its innovative designs, featuring combinations of new materials like ceramic and rubber, and a bezel with screws inspired by a ship's porthole, have garnered global acclaim.
The first thing that strikes you about this model is the 126 diamonds, totaling approximately 0.87 carats, adorning the bezel. The harmony between the iconic H-shaped screws of the Big Bang collection and the red gold case is exquisite. The rubber alligator strap, with alligator leather stitched onto a rubber surface, offers both elegance and comfort.
The dimensionality and refined elegance, born from the fusion of materials such as diamonds, rubber, and red gold, will undoubtedly enhance the wrist of any sophisticated woman.
Within the Big Bang 38mm Automatic series, the case can also be chosen in red gold or steel. Dials are available in black, white, or cappuccino, each paired with a matching rubber alligator strap. Alternatively, a red gold or steel bracelet can be selected instead of the strap.
