Hublot Big Bang King Power | Tourbillon GMT | 18K Rose Gold 48mm

The Explosion That Changed Watchmaking

When Hublot detonated the Big Bang in 2005, it didn’t just launch a model—it rewrote the codes of luxury sport watchmaking. The radical “Art of Fusion” philosophy, instantly recognized and award‑winning, propelled Hublot into the modern canon and set the stage for statement complications that would define the new millennium.

The Architecture of an Explosion

• Reference Number: 706.OM.1180.RX
• Multi-Component 'Sandwich' Case Construction: The King Power’s modular architecture layers case, bezel, resin, and lugs for a bold, technical profile and limitless customization.
• Fusion of Materials: 18K rose gold case meets a black ceramic bezel, composite resin inserts, and a black structured rubber strap—pure Hublot alchemy.
• Bezel with 6 H-shaped Titanium Screws: The signature industrial motif anchoring the ceramic bezel with purposeful precision.
• Dial Details: Openworked dial revealing the tourbillon’s kinetic poetry and a dedicated GMT display, with bold indices and luminous hands for night clarity.
• Calibre: Manual‑winding high‑complication movement featuring a tourbillon and GMT function—designed for presence and performance at scale.
• Case Diameter: 48 mm King Power silhouette with unapologetic wrist presence.

The Curator's Insight:
Jean‑Claude Biver’s genius wasn’t just aesthetic—it was strategic. The modular “sandwich” case became a platform for unlimited experimentation in materials and style, turning the Big Bang into a living, evolving idea rather than a single design.
