Hublot Unveils Its Colorful Big Bang Tourbillon Watch
Featuring 36 carats with 484 invisibly set baguette-cut stones.
Hublot has unveiled its new Bang Bang Tourbillon watch, which features all colors of the rainbow. Hublot has previously utilized vibrant colors in its watches, but this is the first time the watchmaker has created a full rainbow-colored offering.
The new Big Bang Tourbillon arrives in two new models. Coming in King Gold or white gold, both watches showcase the interior automatic movement. The colorful creation features a whopping 36 carats with 484 invisibly set baguette-cut stones. The stones come in an array of colors from the rainbow’s complete spectrum: fuschia pink sapphires, bold red rubies, topaz in Klein blue, amethysts, bright green tsavorites, lemon yellow sapphires and sun-kissed orange sapphires.
The watches come in 43 mm sizes with an integrated bracelet that also includes the rainbow-colored stones, reinforcing the vibrant colors that encapsulate the watch’s bezel. From stone selection, choosing the colors, cutting the stones and setting them, it takes 1200 hours of work to produce the watch. Additionally, it features a tourbillon at six o’clock, adding to the watch’s luxe appeal. Other specifications include self-winding via a visible micro-rotor and three bridges constructed from transparent sapphire.
The watch will set you back a nice $790,000 USD. Find more details about the watch and its release on Hublot’s website.
