On the technical side, "Big Bang" houses the new Jaquet 8144 mechanical chronograph movement with automatic winding mechanism, visible through a transparent back.

The watch's components include a circular-grained bottom-plate, polished satin-finish bridges with chamfered edges, black PVD screws and an oscillating weight sporting the Hublot colour scheme, made entirely of Tungsten and given a dimpled finish, also treated in black PVD.

To complete the fusion of unusual materials, Hublot has added a dial in stamped carbon and an enlarged bezel in ceramic now adorned with 6 sunken screws, polished and blocked with 'H'-shaped slots.

To crown this bold visual statement, a double-face anti-reflection crystal underlines the highly contemporary appearance, while the crown and rectangular heads of the push-pieces have natural black rubber inserts thoroughly in keeping with the "Big Bang" concept.

Another major innovation of the Hublot "Big Bang" is the new Hublot deployant clasp and rubber strap, now made adjustable to adapt instantly to different wrist sizes, with no loss of the timekeeper's essential comfort or ultra-functionality.

"Big Bang" will be launched in 2 different Editions: The first in 18 K red gold and the second, in 18K white gold, each with a ceramic bezel and a Kevlar lug ring.

Hublot in French means 'porthole' and the company has a rich history being established by creator Carlo Crocco who was orn in the family of Italian watchmakers.
