6 Gem-Studded Hublot Big Bang for Women
By Chanel Lim
After two full years of deciding the perfect shape for the case and the most durable materials for the strap before Hublot’s launch in 1980, the Swiss luxury watch brand is meant to be an icon in its own right. However, it was not until 2005, when Jean-Claude Biver, a Luxembourg-based watch designer, created the Hublot Big Bang, that Hublot began to take lead.
The Hublot Big Bang collection’s launch is as revolutionary and impactful as its name sounds. Experimenting with loads of materials, ranging from sheep wool to denim to gold, the Big Bang collection is definitely one that appeals to men and women alike. With creations such as the Unico chronograph and the Big Bang Ferrari, Hublot paved the way for a new era of innovation and constant versatile changes in watchmaking.
As for the ladies’ collection, Hublot goes all out. Cutting-edge in design and innovation, yet romantic and elegant by nature, these gem-studded Hublot Big Bang watches are not for the faint of heart.
