To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Hublot Big Bang, the brand surprised us at Baselworld 2015 with three exciting limited editions. For those of you that don't know, the first Big Bang to be launched in 2005 was the Big Bang Gold Ceramic, which quickly became the flagship and signature watch for Hublot. Well, 10 years have passed and perhaps over a 100 different limited editions —just guessing— have been presented since then. One of these three new limited edition watches just released this past week at Baselworld 2015 is the new Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon 5-day Power Reserve Indicator Full Magic Gold ref. 405.MX.0138.RX.
In Monsieur Jean-Claude Biver's words: "Nothing can be born without a good idea." His good idea came in 2005, when he came up with the name "Big Bang" based on an idea which is central to the art of fusion, the combining of objects and materials which never appear together under normal conditions, for example rubber and gold. The former is harvested from a tree, the latter mined from deep inside the earth.
