Hublot has introduced the Big Bang Impact One Million, a high-jewelry Big Bang built around a central flying tourbillon and a white gold case carrying nearly 45 carats of diamonds.
Presented during Watches and Wonders in Geneva, the watch revisits one of Hublot’s most recognizable themes, the collision of technical watchmaking and full-force gem setting.
A white gold Big Bang turned into a diamond architecture
The case measures 45mm wide and 15.80mm thick, giving the gem setting enough volume to read as part of the construction rather than decoration added later.
Approximately 500 diamonds cover the polished white gold case, with baguette-cut stones joined by angular cuts shaped to follow the geometry of the Big Bang silhouette.
That mix of cuts is the defining visual move here, because the stones emphasize the case edges, bezel, and structural breaks that have always made the Big Bang feel more architectural than classical.
The tourbillon moves to the center of the dial
Instead of placing the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, Hublot positions the flying tourbillon in the middle of the dial, turning the regulating organ into the visual anchor of the entire watch.
The hours and minutes are indicated by two arrow-shaped hands that sit below the moving cage, giving the display a layered, almost suspended appearance.
It is a bold layout, but it suits the watch’s purpose, since the mechanism is treated less as a hidden achievement and more as a kinetic centerpiece.
Inside the HUB9015 hand-wound calibre
The Big Bang Impact One Million is powered by Hublot’s in-house HUB9015 calibre, a manually wound movement made from 236 components.
It runs at 3Hz and delivers around five days of power reserve, a useful figure for a tourbillon that will likely spend time alternating between wrist and display.
Winding is done with a dedicated stylus, a detail that reinforces the watch’s position as an object handled with ceremony rather than a conventional daily wearer.
A showcase piece for Hublot collectors
The Big Bang Impact One Million arrives two decades after Hublot helped define its modern high-jewelry language with the One Million dollar watch, and this new piece feels like a direct continuation of that maximalist idea.
This is not the Big Bang for someone looking for restraint, but for a collector who wants Hublot at its most theatrical, technically ambitious, and unapologetically gem-set.
