HUBLOT BIG BANG 5 MILLION

HUBLOT - BIG BANG 5 MILLION

LIMITED AND NUMBERED EDITION OF 1 PIECE

A world first, a unique piece, an exceptional and incredibly rare feat.

Unlike an Haute Joaillerie piece, where the design and technical construction are created to "emphasise and serve" stones which have already been selected, the opposite approach was adopted.

The diamond cutters started with a design and then found the diamonds which best matched the complex construction of the case, dial and bracelet.

Cutters and setters then employed all of their expertise to resize them to ensure a perfect fit.

The process of assembling the piece took about 14 months to complete.

It took one year for the largest stones which came from all four corners of the world, and the same for the 1276 others.

Every stone was individually selected to ensure that all were of a consistent quality and colour.

They then had to be resized, one by one, to make them a perfect fit for the watch.

A renowned "master cutter" from New York with over 40 years' experience was responsible for single-handedly cutting the largest GIA-certified stones to ensure they all had the same cut "signature".

It was a lengthy process to complete: 14 months of work for all the different disciplines combined, including 7 months' work for 12 cutters, and the same for the 5 setters, with all the major specialists working on the piece full-time.

A total of 1282 diamonds, more than 100 carats of baguette diamonds, a dazzling expression of the work of the best craftsmen in their field.

This watch can be considered as a veritable collection of diamonds.

Each was individually chosen in relation to the others to create a harmonious whole.

This is the most precious watch ever created by Hublot and its long-standing partner, Atelier Bunter in Geneva.

The diamonds selected by Hublot are all of the highest quality, graded A VVS in clarity and Top Wesselton in colour.
