Hublot's unique take on the rainbow.
Since 2017, Hublot has been setting its watches with all the colours of the rainbow. However, the watch brand has never combined all of its seven colours in one piece. Until now! Two exceptional High Jewellery pieces adorned with the full rainbow spectrum, from the case to the dial and to the bracelet. Two Big Bang Tourbillon models made from King Gold or white gold, which allow a glimpse beneath the sapphire to reveal the fascinating automatic tourbillon manufacture movement.
While Hublot is now completely synonymous with its Art of Fusion, the watch brand is also a master of the Art of Color. It excels at imbuing all the materials it uses with color, from those it has built expertise in, such as sapphire, to those it has patented, like vibrantly colored ceramic.
With a Pop Art spirit and a penchant for bright tones, Hublot loves its watches to really show their colors. Juxtapositions, gradations, contrasts, no Pantone is out of reach – not even the palette required for "Rainbow Maximalism". While the Rainbow trend has recently taken the fashion world by storm, for Hublot, this love of polychromy is anything but fleeting – unlike the rainbow itself – with the first Big Bang Rainbow released in 2017.
This piece totals almost 36 carats, with 484 invisibly set baguette-cut stones of seven different types to echo the seven visible colors of the spectrum: bright red rubies, fuchsia pink sapphires, ultraviolet amethysts, topaz in Klein blue, leaf green tsavorites, lemon yellow sapphires and bright orange sapphires. Two striking creations with generous dimensions of 43 mm; two unique pieces crafted from King Gold or white gold, with the integrated bracelet further reinforcing the visual impact, as the graduated spectrum of colors radiates outwards from the bezel to the bracelet.
The color gradation is expertly executed, subtle yet captivating. It would be impossible to choose a favourite color or stone. It must be said that, when it comes to perfectly combining and harmonising colors, Nature knows best. The continuous transition between the seven types of stones further accentuates the piece's artistic appeal. To reproduce the perfection of Nature takes 1200 hours of work, selecting the stones, choosing their colors, cutting them and setting them to ensure the perfect gradation of colors. Nothing is left to chance in this work of art, including its mechanism, a manufacture movement entirely designed and manufactured in-house. It features a tourbillon at 6 o'clock which is no less striking than the piece itself: self-winding, with a micro-rotor visible on the dial side, and three bridges made from transparent sapphire. Once again, Hublot has fused innovation with expertise, combining Haute Horlogerie and Haute Joaillerie in a truly stunning watch.
Multicolored is no longer a fashion faux pas; rather a deliberate multifaceted style. With all the colors of the rainbow combined in a single watch, are you ready for a look versatile enough for your every mood?

HUBLOT
Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovative concept, which began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This "Art of Fusion" stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012.
The release of the iconic, multi-award-winning Big Bang in 2005 paved the way for new flagship collections (Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang), with complications ranging from the simple to the highly sophisticated, establishing the extraordinary DNA of the Swiss watchmaking house and ensuring its impressive growth.
Keen to preserve its traditional and cutting-edge expertise, and guided by its philosophy to "Be First, Different and Unique", the Swiss watchmaker is consistently ahead of the curve, through its innovations in materials (scratch-resistant Magic Gold, ceramics in vibrant colors, sapphire), and the creation of Manufacture movements (Unico, Meca-10, Tourbillon).
HUBLOT is fully committed to creating a Haute Horlogerie brand with a visionary future: a future which is fused with the key events and brands of our times (FIFA World CupTM, UEFA Champions LeagueTM, and UEFA EUROTM) and the finest ambassadors our era has to offer (Kylian Mbappé, Usain Bolt, Pelé).
