In a spectacular take on the “piece unique," Hublot has created a one-off “Materials and High Complications Set" with five models, each representing the brand’s singular take on material innovation and high complications. The 44 mm Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Sapphire features the manufacture’s automatic micro-rotor tourbillon movement in an entirely transparent sapphire crystal case. The 44 mm Big Bang Tourbillon Chronograph in Water Blue Sapphire, which features a skeletonized monopusher chronograph tourbillon caliber, showcases the brand’s chromatic range in sapphire. The 44 mm Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Red Magic does the same, this time in tricky ceramic. The 45 mm Big Bang Tourbillon Chronograph Cathedral Minute Repeater in black frosted carbon fiber places two traditional complications, a monopusher chronograph and minute repeater with cathedral gongs, in a case with a wildly contemporary aesthetic. And the 43 mm Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon Cathedral Minute Repeater in Blue Texalium lends the chiming complication a unique sound thanks to a casing made of a high-performance carbon fiber-like material that allows for unique coloration. Talk about a high five!
