Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon Full Carbon
One of the brand's pillars, the Big Bang collection welcomes the new Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon Full Carbon limited edition to the family. The timepiece fuses two complications at the heart of the watch: The tourbillon and the micro-rotor. Made 100% in the Hublot manufacture, the HUB6035 Manufacture Calibre is made of carbon fiber and Texalium and can be viewed through the open-worked design of the back plate.
The 43mm Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon Full Carbon comes encased in Texalium, another new fusion of materials combining a fiberglass core with a thin top layer of aluminum. The piece sits on one of the lightest straps in the watch market today weighing a mere 26 grams. Each link of the strap is individually developed using Texalium and carbon fiber and assembled in-house. The Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon Full Carbon is limited to 50 pieces.

The brushed titanium version offers a stunning contrast of monochrome against brilliant diamonds.
