HUBLOT BIG
BANG UNICO INTEGRATED RAINBOW AND BIG BANG UNICO TIME ONLY RAINBOW
The manufacture drew inspiration from its 2022 bestseller and took things up a notch by adding an haute joaillerie twist to a pair of non-identical twin watches. Each boasts a fully paved case, bezel and bracelet adorned with gemstones in a seamless gradation of the colours of the rainbow.
Precious gemstones take their place alongside the most stunning minerals: ruby, amethyst, blue topaz, tsavorite, as well as an entire spectrum of sapphires in pink, orange, blue and yellow. With its own unique hue and subtle nuances, each gem has been painstakingly selected and paired, thanks to the expert eyes and hands of a master stone-setter. A total of 1,110 gems embellishes the Big Bang Integrated, while 924 gems grace the Time Only model.
Both references are executed in King Gold, Hublot's proprietary precious metal forged within its own manufacture. This alloy also offers a warmer gold tone than traditional rose gold. Containing platinum, it lends itself perfectly to the polishing and satin-finishing operations used to full effect on these two timepieces.
The end result: alternating flat satin-finished surfaces and polished chamfers whose brilliance gleams harmoniously alongside the scintillating gemstones.
The two pieces also feature a dial, main plate, flange and date window cloaked in an intense black, which creates the perfect backdrop to showcase the full radiance of the rainbow setting.
Two large skeleton hands and a gold crown over-moulded with black rubber form two ears at 3 and 9 o'clock. The case and bracelet are seamlessly integrated while offering complete comfort to the wearer.
