Hublot presented a world first, with a minute repeater watch
featuring two “cathedral” type gongs, a tourbillon and column wheel
chronograph, with carbon fiber bridges, in a case made from 18kt
"King" Rose Gold and carbon
fiber in. This is a perfect illustration of “Fusion” between great watchmaking
tradition and the technology of the future.
It is a timepiece with a sophisticated mechanism, featuring three
major Haute Horlogerie complications particularly prized by connoisseurs and
collectors, but revisited in a resolutely contemporary spirit: The main
particularity lies in the fact that the three complications are visible from
the dial side.
Besides the 18kt "King" Rose Gold and carbon fibre, the
case is also fashioned with materials such as titanium and rubber, which is a
perfect illustration of the Art of Fusion key to Hublot. From a design point of
view, the minute repeater bolt is ingeniously integrated into the King Power
case middle, just like the chronograph control push-piece subtly integrated
into the watch's crown. The minute repeater, activated by means of a lever
situated between 8 and 10 o'clock, sounds the hours, quarter-hours and minutes.
Its two “cathedral” gongs (one for hours and the other for minutes) are double
the length of a regular gong. The whole design aims for a very uncomplicated
overall effect for a piece of this level.
Representing the Art of Fusion in Watches, Hublot symbolize the
fusion between tradition and future through its design, knowledge and
materials.
One of the most exclusive Big Bang King Power watches ever
produced.....
Those who tend to play with modern minute repeaters on a regular
basis know that, even with the most impressive models, the sound is highly
underwhelming. A minute repeater is supposed to tell you the time via a code of
chimes and is only useful if you can hear it. Most of the time, if you want to
use one you need to be in a really quite room, tell everyone to hush, and place
the watch next to your ear in order to hear the little dings. This is not the
case with this stunning release from Hublot. The Hublot Big Bang King Power
Grande Complication "Cathedral" Minute Repeater Tourbillon and Column
Wheel Chronograph Skeleton in 18kt "King" Rose Gold features a Minute
Repeater that you'd be proud to strike and show off to your friends.
In the watch, the minute repeater has two cathedral style gongs:
Two gongs each with a different sound - one for hours, and one for minutes. The
minute repeater is activated by sliding the left flank of the case up. This
flank is a typical design element of the King Power and Big Bang watches making
it is a sort of "hidden lever."
The chronograph is done in two subdials on the face - one for the
minutes and one for the seconds. It is a monopusher with the push piece being
integrated into the crown. The chronograph is even more unusual for not having
a centrally mounted seconds hand. You can see the column wheel for the
chronograph in the dial located under 12 o'clock. The skeletonization is
impressive as the dial design places most of the mechanical elements on the
front of the watch and through the caseback you do see a carbon fiber movement
plate.
The manual-winding mechanical movement boasts a 5-day power
reserve. The hour and minute indicator is situated centrally, for a
conventional readout. The flying tourbillon – with suspended cage – is situated
at 6 o'clock, and features an unusual structure of very high quality: indeed,
the cage rotates without a ball bearing, and has a Swiss lever escapement.
Production of the exclusive timepiece is limited to just 10
pieces, with each one individually numbered.
In an innovative fusion of materials, the case is made of 18K King
Gold, the 18 carat gold alloy used by Hublot, the exact composition of which is
classified.
Its exclusive color is even redder than traditional 5N red gold.
To achieve this, the Hublot metallurgists increase the percentage of copper and
added platinum in order to stabilize the color over the years and to neutralize
oxidation.
One thing I really love are watches. It is said that a watch says
a lot about a man, and this piece from Hublot would say a lot about whomever is
wearing.
Hublot is known to be one of most prestigious watch companies in
the world, manufacturing only the finest timepieces. For decades they have
produced timepieces that were simple looking but technologically advanced and
others that were a completely new concept. This Hublot is an example of the
company's ingenuity and unique watch making capabilities.
