OVER THE YEARS, Hublot has mastered the creation and machining of sapphires with exclusive shades for its see-through watch cases - black, yellow, blue, red. Today, the master of the “Art of Fusion” achieves a world first with its latest sapphire design, the Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic, thanks to its vibrant, new colour - orange.
Achieved through the incorporation of titanium and chromium in a skilful manufacturing process, this surprising and dynamic colour is a breath of fresh air for haute horlogerie, and is in perfect harmony with Hublot’s culture of excellence. The fascination of the translucent bezel and case in finely polished orange sapphire is enhanced by the technical tone of the six H-shape titanium screws that characterise the iconic Big Bang design.
