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宇舶表携手杰夫·昆斯(JEFF KOONS): 基于转化理念的两大创意宇宙共创MP-14 ORIGIN杰夫·昆斯腕表 纽约,2026年9月16日——瑞士奢华制表品牌HUBLOT宇舶表联袂杰夫·昆斯(Jeff Koons)震撼揭幕双方的多维度合作,同步发布两款非凡时计:经典融合杰夫·昆斯气球狗腕表(Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons)与MP-14 Origin杰夫·昆斯腕表(MP-14 Origin by Jeff Koons)。宇舶表与昆斯,皆以将平凡之物转化为标志性之作而闻名,双方的合作实现了高级制表与当代艺术的融合。MP-14 Origin杰夫·昆斯腕表采用由蓝宝石、钛金属及镶嵌宝石的白金组成的架构,融汇高级珠宝与高级制表,以微观尺度演绎宇宙的诞生——仿佛将万物起源、宇宙初始膨胀的瞬间凝聚于腕间。这款富有创见的时计标志着宇舶表一项重要的技术里程碑:品牌首款自动上链的中置陀飞轮腕表正式问世。这款限量典藏30枚的腕表不仅象征着宇宙,更演绎其最初的状态。 了解更多 HUBLOT宇舶表发布经典融合杰夫·昆斯气球狗腕表: 由时间充盈的艺术 2026年9月16日,纽约——瑞士奢华制表品牌HUBLOT宇舶表与知名艺术家杰夫·昆斯(Jeff Koons)是以转化平凡之物而著称的两大富有远见卓识的创意力量。此次双方携手揭晓一项开创性的合作,通过融合制表艺术与当代艺术,将物品、时间与象征性元素转化为标志性文化符号。全新推出的经典融合杰夫·昆斯气球狗腕表共有三个版本——镜面抛光精钢款、红色阳极氧化铝款及蓝色阳极氧化铝款,通过腕表为艺术形式赋予鲜活气息,也将时间化作可真切感知的艺术表达。 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
