BIG BANG Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire:
A FEAT OF PURE SAPPHIRE
It
is true that sometimes less is more – perhaps a lot more. With the Big
Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire, Hublot has taken its Art of
Fusion to its ultimate conclusion. A new integral bracelet and case
custom-made from sapphire: this feat affirms yet again the technical
proficiency and the exceptional expertise that Hublot has acquired in
the working of sapphire.

Watchmakers are sometimes the only ones to know certain details of their
watches. With a case and bracelet made entirely from sapphire, all
secrets are revealed: the movement and casing fuse, and every aspect is
visible.
The case of this new Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire has been reconstructed in its entirety to house the Automatic Tourbillon movement.

The goal: to remove almost all of the visible screws, overhaul
the general geometry of the case to integrate it with the sapphire
bracelet, develop a new case profile to house the sapphire bracelet, and
rework the bridges and main plates to give them the illusion of being
suspended in space. 
Hublot also developed inserts and attachments which were reduced to their simplest expression, to allow light through every component. The case is thus composed of no fewer than 37 components, five of which are made solely from sapphire.

The bracelet was also a complex challenge: it alone comprises 165 components, 22 of which are made from sapphire. Each component had its own industrial process.
A third of these were specially designed to provide unique harmony with the transparency of the case, and to offer fluidity and flexibility.

Of particular note are the titanium inserts
Hublot developed, ultra-reduced to ensure they do not protrude either
side of each bracelet link – a first for the manufacture, and probably
for watchmaking.
In terms of the movement, the HUB6035 automatic manufacture calibre, entirely designed and manufactured in-house, is the beating heart of the piece. It demonstrates a perfect balance between the micro-rotor at 12 o'clock and the tourbillon at 6 o'clock, and also with its three transparent sapphire bridges, exclusive to this new Big Bang.

The components appear to be literally suspended in space. Each gear train is not only penetrated by light coming in from the dial side and passing through the skeleton movement on the other side: now, and for the first time, light enters the heart of the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire from all directions.

It is diffused, refracted, reflected,
twisted and twirled – a fragment of light encapsulated on the wrist.==================================
