MGear : ONE MILLION $ BLACK CAVIAR


ONE MILLION $ BLACK CAVIAR

Hublot presents the quintessence of “invisible visibility” in a uniform range of black tones! The watchmaking brand and the setting workshop Bunter SA have together developed a World Première with a completely invisible setting, using only black diamonds.


It’s a world's first and technological and artistic achievement. The dream of combining key Hublot concepts – invisible visibility, “all Black”, watchmaking tradition and state-of-the-art technology – has become a reality thanks to the creativity, the ingenuity, and a touch of the “crazy” that spurred on its designers to create such a masterpiece. The high level of micro-mechanic sophistication, combined with the dexterity of the human hand, has resulted in the One Million $ Black Caviar Bang.
Its setting is very complex. The difficulty resides in the unusual lines of the Big Bang case – round but with sharp angles. The white gold, one-piece construction of the case does not reveal one grain of gold, and the diamonds, cut in mysterious ways, seem to hold together as if by magic. The only visible feature is the black and deep tones of the diamonds, shining in their harmonious alignment.
This unique piece, which houses a Tourbillon, symbolizes the fusion between watchmaking and jewelery, between tradition and technology, and between glittering and invisibility. The vibration that emanates from it gives rise to an emotion tinged with fascination. As Jean-Claude Biver says: “When each element is crafted individually and in coherence with the one right next to it, this is invisible from the outside but creates a vibration of harmony which is visible and gives rise to emotion in those who perceive it”.
Creating this exceptional watch demanded over 2000 hours of meticulous work, from design to final adjustment, without forgetting the research and development, programming of the machines, choice of tools, diamond cutting, optical checking of each part, and setting and casing. 544 VVS TW-IF quality baguette diamonds adorn the watch’s case, dial, crown and deployant clasp.
