A unique diamond watch –
the next Hublot masterpiece

Switzerland’s Hublot have made another amazing masterpiece - the One Million Dollar Big Bang watch. It seems that diamonds and gold are set together as if by magic.

The watch is the very symbol of the fusion between jewellery and watch making. The case is made from 18 carat white gold and is set with 322 baguette diamonds weighing 24.65 carats.

It has a crystal sapphire and white gold back and a white gold crown in which 12 white baguette diamonds weighing 0.8 carats have been set.

The dial is 18 carat white gold and palladium set with 129 baguette diamonds weighing 6.4 carats with diamond-polished faceted skeleton hands.

Hublot CEO Jean-Claude Biver says that the idea had been to make the most beautiful and unique jewellery watch where people would only see the diamonds and no other material. This is the first project that he immediately said “yes” to, without any hesitation. And it was over the phone with only hearing the concept from the product manager. He even contacted a jeweller that also said “Yes” to the idea and she would definitely buy such a watch. “So the watch was ordered on the phone and sold on the phone. All within 15 minutes. No contract, no nothing, just mutual credibility and trust. That was in my opinion the biggest asset and success of this operation.” – says Biver.

He added that every watch is made by four highly skilled craftsmen and it takes them more than 2,000 hours to make one. The company produces 3-4 pieces a year and intends making no more than 10. Each one of them will have a different dial and movement and that will make it unique.
