TOTAL TRANSPARENCY Hublot has capitalised on challenges and created 500 Big Bang Unico Sapphire models cut straight from sapphire, without losing sapphire’s unique and rare character. This is a first. Sapphire had never previously been cut "on such a large scale". The exterior of the watch is now invisible, so that the construction and movement of the timepiece are now fully visible. A cutting-edge concept that takes transparency right the way through to its now invisible strap. Beyond the symbolism and wordplay, the Big Bang is laid bare.
