14 DAY TRIAL // It's already common knowledge that there are presents and Christmas presents, as well as watches and Hublot watches. It has actually been proven once more that the reputed company knows just how to do things in high style. Their newest creation, the Black Caviar Bang, featuring all the characteristics of the Big Bang line, topped with some extremely rare black diamonds, comes to join the very exclusive club of the “million dollar or more” watches.
531 widely distributed black diamonds, most of them square cut, make the most of this collection piece, as one could count nothing less than 322 stones on the case, 179 on the bezel, and around 30 at the end of the strap, on the clasp. The magnificent 34.5 total carats of dark glam are paired with an 18k white gold case and clasp. It's definitely a men's watch, with its refined, rather discrete appearance.
Along with the others Hublot watches, Black Caviar Bang is provided with the specific HUB Solo T tourbillon movement. The transparent case allows you to take a peek at the one minute tourbillon movement, as well as to see the power reserve indicator, also encrusted in black diamonds. Bear in mind that the beauty made in Switzerland has actually a 120 hour power reserve, which is pretty amazing for such a luxurious accessory.
Considering the fact that it's a unique piece, also tremendously expensive, no wonder the designer paid less attention to its practical features. It's actually pretty amazing how a small, niche factory as Hublot has been able to step into the spotlight with such gorgeous (and pricy) creations as the Big Bang watches, becoming one of the most famous luxury brands in the world.
As recession seems to affect less people that have enough money to afford such an exquisite whim, is remains to be seen who will buy this special jewelry.
