Hublot is a brand with many different qualities, and one of them is to create diamond set watches unlike any other. This tradition started effectively in 2007 with the first One Million $ model. In the years that followed, Hublot expanded its offerings in this field, with each watch highlighting the art of high jewellery in a different, and often innovative, way. This tradition continues with the latest models of Hublot, like the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery.

One of the things that Hublot always looks for in its diamond-set pieces is to create synergy with the watch’s design. This is a significant challenge with the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon, a watch known for its skeletonized, transparent movement and case with an integrated bracelet. Hublot’s answer to this is setting it with baguette-cut diamonds only and utilizing an invisible setting. A total of 484 diamonds were used, weighing 30,9 carats, leaving no surface untouched. Because of the cut shape of diamonds and the invisible setting, it almost seems as if this Hublot is chiseled out of this precious material.
Mechanically, the watch is the same as the other Big Bang Integral Tourbillons, with the exception of the row of baguette-cut diamonds surrounding the movement. They form a visual connection between the in-house developed and made caliber HUB6035 and the precious case and bracelet. The movement is a gem on its own, with a white gold micro-rotor at twelve o’clock perfectly balancing the tourbillon at six. Thanks to the use of bridges made from transparent sapphire crystal, all the intricate parts of the movement become visible. It makes the Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery an imposing watch that goes beyond its precious nature and price tag. Instead, it highlights different areas of expertise in perfect synergy, and that is another hallmark of Hublot in everything they do.
