15 九月 2021 SPIRIT OF BIG BANG GOLD CRYSTAL Gold crystal: alchemist Hublot creates magic It is often said that what Nature creates cannot be reproduced, as natural processes require both time and a complexity which are beyond the realms of human endeavour. Once again, Hublot has made the impossible possible by transmuting gold into its rarest and most exclusive form: gold crystal. This form of gold is unique, since it is impossible to reproduce two identical gold crystals. Beyond the fascination that gold has exerted on man since the dawn of time, it embodies everything that makes Hublot so distinctive: materials, minerals, metals; their fusion and their transformation into new forms of expression, unique and quite unexpected. An alchemy expressed both in the transmutation of the raw material and in the chemistry created by the spirit of the watch itself. This is the Spirit of Big Bang Gold Crystal. “Fusing and creating new materials is nothing new for Hublot: it is part of the brand's very essence. But now, the Manufacture has entered a new universe – the transmutation of metals – with its metallurgy laboratory and R&D department reproducing the rarest form of gold on earth: the crystallised native gold known as gold crystal. With its Spirit of Big Bang Cristal d’Or available in 39 and 42 mm, Hublot is not only transmuting gold, it is also transforming the DNA of its watchmaking signature – the Big Bang – into the tonneau shape of its Spirit of Big Bang. An alchemy of materials and spirit.” Ricardo Guadalupe HUBLOT CEO The mysteries of gold crystal Hublot invites you into the heart of a unique form of expertise, into the mysteries of the most precious and fascinating metal, as well as one of the oldest, born as the universe was created during the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago. The natural crystallisation of gold dates back tens of millions of years, to the time when the mountain ranges were formed. It was in these crevices in the earth that jets of pressurised heated water extracted the gold, redepositing it within seams in the rocks. As the rocks eroded, these seams were carried away by rain and water and deposited in the beds of rivers, creating nuggets of gold. On rare occasions, the right natural conditions would allow the gold to remain in its natural state: gold crystals, the rarest form of gold on earth. A true alchemist for our times, Hublot has now mastered a unique technique allowing natural crystallisation to be reproduced almost exactly. By heating the purest 24-carat gold to its melting point of 1064.18 degrees Celsius, its atoms are vaporised into a gaseous mixture before interlocking as the temperature is lowered, forming an open angular structure. Thousands of small crystals join together to create an architecture which is random, unique, and impossible to reproduce. The most perfect of these crystals are then carefully selected, with no more than 20% of the crystals produced making the grade. 阅读更多 A gold and lacquered dial The expert hands of the master dial-maker apply the gold crystals to a black dial covered with a fine layer of transparent lacquer; the manufacturing process took this craftsman a year to research and develop, and the application must be undertaken in a controlled atmosphere to ensure no air bubbles can form on the surface. It takes around twenty layers of lacquer to encapsulate the gold crystals, and the dial is then polished to render the lacquer invisible, and perfectly smooth and uniform. Spirit of Big Bang Gold Crystal The Spirit of Big Bang is Hublot's tonneau-shaped watch, and it adopts all of the design codes of the iconic Big Bang: the six H-shaped screws on the bezel, the lugs either side of the case, the overmoulded rubber screw-down crown decorated with the iconic H, the sandwich type construction. To provide a perfect contrast with the gold of the crystals, the Spirit of Big Bang Cristal d’Or's case is covered in black ceramic and paired with a black alligator strap stitched onto rubber. Available in 39 and 42 mm, it will display the time for 50 hours without any winding of its Caliber HUB1710 automatic mechanical movement. 阅读更多 最新动态 HUBLOT宇舶表瞩目发布 经典融合欧足联欧罗巴联赛钛金碳纤维计时码表 2026年1月19日，意大利米兰——二十年来，瑞士奢华制表品牌HUBLOT宇舶表始终对足球运动秉承坚定且广泛的投入，从地方赛场、洲际角逐到全球盛事，宇舶表持续为各大联赛、顶尖球队与杰出球员提供鼎力支持。多年来, “宇舶爱足球”不仅是品牌初心的承诺，更彰显了足球领域当代最重要的制表品牌赞助与授权合作伙伴关系。 了解更多 HUBLOT宇舶表推出一款专为庆贺中国新年打造的 限量版时计：BIG BANG灵魂丙午马年腕表 2026年1月1日，中国 —— 为庆贺中国农历马年的到来，瑞士奢华制表品牌HUBLOT宇舶表匠心呈献一款在材质创新方面突破界限的限量版作品：Big Bang灵魂雾面碳纤维腕表（限量典藏88枚）。这款时计对于碳纤维材质的呈现方式可谓前所未见：经过纯手工的雕琢、层叠与润饰，完成一次表盘上的细工镶嵌（marquetry）。此举堪称一项技术宣言，将宇舶表的创新精神、精准工艺、工程学造诣与“龙马精神”所蕴含的文化底蕴浑然相融。 了解更多 了解最新新闻资讯 我愿意了解宇舶表的最新新闻资讯。 注册
