The Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire is the brand’s most technically accomplished watch yet
Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire, £349,000, with 43mm case, HUB6035 automatic tourbillon movement and sapphire crystal bracelet, by HublotCEO Ricardo Guadalupe, who has just unveiled the first Big Bang model that boasts both an integrated case and bracelet crafted from the unyielding material.
The reworked geometry of the watch’s case subscribes to an essential philosophy, stripping back all visible screws so that the bridges and the main plates of the movement appear to hover in space, facilitating the flow of light. ‘The most complicated part was to work on a design that could get maximum transparency,’ Guadalupe tells us, reflecting on the complexity of producing the three sapphire bridges. ‘It is very difficult to precisely position the wheels in relation to each other. We had to add brass plugs glued to the sapphire bridges. This is a real challenge for production.’
