Hublot Big Bang King 48

Defying every avenue of watch making, Hublot has brought inspiration to the industry since 1980, when Carlo Crocco created the exquisite Hublot Gold watch and a black rubber bracelet. The style became an instant favorite, and the Big Bang King 48 is just another hit in the long line of the Big Bang family. There are three elements that set this watch apart from others in the collection: the avant-garde design completed with the massive 48mm case; the obvious Hublot chronograph movement that is of course proprietary; and the Hublot King Gold that was developed exclusively for them, a beautiful red gold alloy and powerfully resistant.

The Big Bang King 48 was a complete redesign, the case being of course a focal point, was created with sharp angles, and straight edges that feature raised screws. The decorative tubes are set in black composite resin and the push pieces on the side of the case stand out significantly more than before.

The rubber molding that has been laid around the ceramic base has given the bezel a very unique look, and the dial creation has been masterfully created with several levels, as the black hour markers are showcased with several other applied elements. The seconds hand and chronograph have been developed with twin levels, and dual types of finish.

You can also find the Hublot Big Bang King 48 in zirconium, which you can see featured by Ernesto Bertarelli, whose Swiss colours can be seen in the 33rd America’s Cup which is of course sponsored by Hublot. Bertarelli is happy wearing the high-tech Alinghi 5, which you can expect to see newer versions, that should increase the collection from the current 28 watches in the King Power Tourbillon limited edition series.

The Big Bang King 48 certainly lives up to the powerful design crafted from micro blasted black ceramic and the black nickel hands are coated with black SuperLuminova. When Carlo Crocco was growing up in a family of watch makers he acquired his discerning sense of style. The Hublot Big Bang King 48 is another example of the brilliance Crocco delivered to the world, a watch that was elegant, sporting, and more than a fashion statement.

As royalty, celebrities and the sports world quickly became owners and fans of the Hublot designs, the watches gained exclusive and prestigious center stage in the world of watch making. As Crocco began his search for someone to direct his watch making business, he came upon Jean-Claude Biver. Biver gathered his education of watch crafting from Audemars Piguet and together they launched a successful brand that was sold to Swatch. Crocco new that Biver had the love and drive needed to take his vision and continue the quest for excellence.

The Hublot Big Bang King 48 is just one of the unique and excellent designs within the collection that Hublot has delivered; once again a fabulous timepiece that continues to reflect the refined beauty and flawless perfection you expect from the watch maker.
