    Ceramic has become a popular element in watchmaking for its durability and hardness. The present Hublot Big Bang 305 tourbillon wristwatch, encased in black ceramic and titanium, is numbered 12 of a limited edition of 50 pieces only. The watch features a large, bold case crafted in black ceramic and titanium that is highly scratch-resistant. The black ceramic bezel is fitted with six polished screws, giving the watch a very powerful and masculine look. Further enhancing the overall black appearance, the watch is fitted with a matte black dial and numerals. The dial is set with a glazed aperture, allowing the viewer to admire the one minute tourbillon carriage.
    Offered in exceptional condition, the watch is complete with certificate and fitted presentation box.

  • Artist Biography

    Hublot

    Swiss • 1980

    Hublot was founded by Carlo Crocco in 1980 and named after the French word for "porthole," which resembles their iconic bezel design. Hublot's first watch followed three years of research and was the first wristwatch to be fitted with a natural rubber strap. The brand's most recognizable watch today is the 'Big Bang', which was first launched in 2005 upon the arrival of CEO and shareholder Jean-Claude Biver. Other noteworthy models are the 'Classic Fusion' and 'King Power'.
