Hublot has debuted its finest time piece ever a 1.73-inch (44-mm) diameter 18K white gold case packed with 302 baguette diamonds. Its 18K white gold dial holds another 179 baguettes and the 18K bracelet that holds it on the lucky owner’s wrist is set with a staggering 782 more baguette diamonds, plus an additional six emerald-cut diamonds, all greater than 3 carats each. Throw in the 18K white gold crown’s 1.06 carat rose-cut diamond, plus its 12 additional baguettes and you have a market-cornering 1,282 diamonds in total, more than 100 carats in baguettes alone, and all of grade A VVS clarity.
The rhodium-plated, diamond-polished hands are driven by a self-winding, 25-jewel, HUB 1100 movement with about 42 hours of power reserve which would have been amazing if a battery was installed but some people might consider battery operated watches as a regular jewellery not a fine time piece.
let’s not forget the cost of labor, which was particularly intense because each carefully-selected jewel had to be modified to perfectly fit the watch. After a year spent searching for the largest stones, Hublot, in collaboration with Geneva’s Atelier Bunter, spent 14 months total on the Big Bang’s construction. This included the efforts of 12 cutters and five setters who worked on it full-time for seven months.
so five million dollars do you think if you had that much , you would buy this one?
cheers
