The “Art of Fusion” is the way of thinking and creation at Hublot: combining unexpected materials (ceramic, carbon, tantalum, tungsten, titanium, magnesium…) with precious and conventional materials, employing the most cutting-edge technologies, while still remaining true to the watchmaking know-how of our ancestors. The Big Bang collection of Hublot Watches – launched in 2005 – is a perfect illustration of the concept of Fusion! The bazel and case have sharp corners, screws passing right through the case, and are still reminiscent of a porthole … retaining the look of the first Hublots, with the rubber strap.
