HAMILTON – JazzMaster Open Heart Lady


HAMILTONJazzMaster Open Heart Lady NEW

Every day is a ladies’ day for Hamilton

In 2016, the American-founded brand with a universal appeal boldly proclaims its passion for offering women timepieces made specifically with them in mind.

A magical bloom in the Jazzmaster garden

The release of the dainty 34 mm Jazzmaster Open Heart Lady is bound to set a number of pulses racing. Living up to its name by offering fascinating views from both sides, the Jazzmaster Open Heart Lady displays a unique architecture of both dial and movement.

With the transparency of a perfect love affair, the Jazzmaster Open Heart Lady exudes a magical sense of suspension and depth, leveraging exceptional mother-of-pearl craftsmanship. Here, a raised mother-of-pearl lotus takes center stage on an iridescent backdrop, giving the effect of a fresh, light 3-D flower floating on water. This is artfully developed with the use of a soft linden green or pristine white strap featuring a super practical easy-click system, or a gleaming five-row metal counterpart picking up the sheen of the mother-of-pearl.

The softly rounded curves of the Jazzmaster Open Heart Lady are further emphasized by a satin-brushed polished case and open dial with diamond cut bevel edge. Silvery hour indexes add to the deliciously aqueous allure of this quintessentially feminine timepiece. In a robust acknowledgement of the needs of active 21st century women, however romantic, the Jazzmaster Open Heart Lady is water-resistant to 5 bar. Hamilton’s new H-10 decorated caliber ensures an 80 hour power reserve that will keep it beating steadily after an exceptional watch-free weekend.

BIG BANG UNICO SAPPHIRE
In complete transparency

Pre-Baselworld 2016

Once again, Hublot is adding its innovation and expertise with materials to the history of watchmaking firsts. By transforming the ‘savoir-faire,’ Hublot has developed the manufacturing of unique and very hard materials, such as Magic Gold, the world’s only scratch-resistant gold. Now in 2016, Hublot has created 500 Big Bang Unico Sapphire models cut straight from sapphire, without losing sapphire’s unique and rare character.

“Through the Art of Fusion, Hublot reveals all. A transparent case that reveals the soul of the watch — the Unico movement – and an absolute transparency extending to the strap, which has become invisible. Beyond the symbolism and the play on words, the Big Bang is laying itself bare. It has nothing to hide and everything to show.” 
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot

Sapphire — an extremely difficult material to machine — has until now been reserved for one-of-a-kind pieces or very private collections. After its ambitious MP05 “LaFerrari” Sapphire project, Hublot is capitalising on the challenge that it has just met and asserting its expertise in sapphire cutting by interpreting it in a series of 500 pieces. This is a first. Sapphire had never previously been cut “on such a large scale”.

It is a collection of absolute transparency that consecrates the acclaimed architecture of the Big Bang model and the performances of the brand’s Unico movement.

The case middle, bezel and back of the Big Bang Unico Sapphire are cut from blocks of sapphire, a material which is almost as hard and scratch-resistant as diamond (9 on the Mohs scale as opposed to 10 for diamond). Hublot has called on the expertise of a Swiss specialist as part of an exclusive partnership to develop the unique material.

 Only a few pieces forming the spine of the watch are made from titanium: the screws, the crown, which is over-molded with silicon, and the deployant buckle. Its skeleton dial, made from transparent resin, reveals all the gears of the proprietary Unico HUB1242 movement and its finishes.

Complementing its ethereal silhouette, its strap – transparent – is invisible so that the skin can be seen through it. Available as a 500-piece limited edition, the Big Bang Unico Sapphire is water-resistant to 50 metres.

A minimalist style, a very light timepiece, an inevitable new trend. Hublot, the art of mechanical watchmaking laid completely bare.
