The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang TOURBILLON ORANGE SAPPHIRE & TOURBILLON CARBON GREEN cultivate their differences while sporting all the codes of Hublot’s DNA. Starting with this Art of Fusion, now a signature in terms of materials, the barrel-shaped case is made of sapphire/carbon-fibre integrating black or green composites. In the same materials, the bezel is held by 6 H-shaped titanium screws while the case back, also in sapphire/carbon, surrounds a sapphire crystal. Structured, airy, technical; the driving force behind the new Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 42 mm is a concentration of innovations and expertise. The most emblematic complication in fine watchmaking, both spectacular and visual, the Tourbillon — Incorporating a mobile frame making one complete rotation per minute — offsets the force of terrestrial gravity for increased accuracy. Specifically developed for this barrel-shaped case, the HUB6020 movement reveals an hours and minutes dial off-centre at 3 o’clock, the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, and an indicator for the 5-day power reserve at 8 o’clock. Hand-winding via the large fluted crown.
The “One-Click” fastening system, allowing the strap to be changed safely and quickly, makes its appearance on the Spirit of Big Bang collection too.

HUBLOT
Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovation, which began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This “Art of Fusion” stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012.
The release of the iconic, multi-award-winning Big Bang in 2005 paved the way for new flagship collections (Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang), with complications ranging from the simple to the highly sophisticated, establishing the extraordinary DNA of the Swiss watchmaking house and ensuring its impressive growth.
Keen to preserve its traditional and cutting-edge expertise, and guided by its philosophy to “Be First, Different and Unique”, the Swiss watchmaker is consistently ahead of the curve, through its innovations in materials (scratch-resistant Magic Gold, ceramics in vibrant colours, sapphire), and the creation of Manufacture movements (Unico, Meca-10, Tourbillon).
