Don’t know about you, but the Hublot $1 million Big Bang does nothing for me. Not as a watch, anyway. I prefer to see it as an exquisite piece of jewellery.  In my opinion, there are only so many diamonds this side of decadence.

That said, I can appreciate the skill that went into creating it - all 2,000 hours worth of skill.

The Big Bang employs the ’mystery setting’ technique, whereby the settings are concealed underneath the gems. You can see the diamonds, but not what holds them in place. Almost like magic.

I’m not overly keen on the rubber strap, but wise decision on their part. What else could possibly go with all those diamonds? Anything else would have clashed badly. Still has a diamond-set clasp, though.
