Hublot Brings Million Dollar Bang And Others To Baselworld
It was inevitable, after all, Hublot has been steadily adding diamonds and gemstones to their Big Bang models for a while now. But the Million Dollar Bang outpaces them all. The watch includes a tourbillon and uses a "mystery" setting so that you don't see the settings, only the stones (493 of them to be precise). A traditional setting is used around the flying tourbillon. The Bunter SA workshop partnered with Hublot on the one-of-a-kind watch which took 2,000 hours to create. The case is 18K white gold and the watch uses a mechanical workshop-crafted movement. Don't get out your wallet for this piece it has already been sold. If you've got a Hublot craving they are introducing a few other new watches, the other are after the jump.

We all knew it was long time coming, and we all pretty well knew when, but it's still much a suprise to see this monster paved. What a feat by Hublot!! The concealed settings are just flawless. Fantastic result of a model that reinvented Hublot as a fine watch manifacture. Very libertine use of stones, but well worth it.
