Hublot Big Bang UNICO FULL MAGIC GOLD: Gold Fusion

Hublot stands as a beacon of innovation, daring to blend tradition with cutting-edge technology. The brand ethos revolves around fusion, a concept introduced to the brand by JC Biver that permeates every aspect of their timepieces. Hublot fuses materials, styles, and craftsmanship to create watches that defy conventions. The Big Bang UNICO FULL MAGIC GOLD exemplifies this ethos, seamlessly merging precious metal with modern engineering.

Metallurgy and the Scratch-Proof Magic Gold Mixture

Magic Gold: A Revolution in Precious Materials

Unveiled in 2011, the Big Bang UNICO FULL MAGIC GOLD represents a true fusion of two worlds: the timeless elegance of 24-carat gold and the high-tech mastery of ceramic. But this isn’t just any gold—it’s Magic Gold. Let’s delve into what makes it so extraordinary:

1. Patented Alchemy: Magic Gold is an 18K gold alloy that defies wear and tear. Unlike traditional gold, which is relatively soft and prone to scratches, Magic Gold is virtually scratch-proof, a remarkable 1,000 Vickers rating.
2. The Fusion Process: Hublot combines pure gold with boron carbide components under extreme pressure in a proprietary fusion process.
3. Crafted with Lasers and Diamonds: Creating Magic Gold is no ordinary feat. Hublot employs lasers and diamonds to shape and mold this unique alloy. The precision required is akin to crafting a masterpiece. Each piece undergoes meticulous treatment, ensuring its durability and longevity.

The Heart of the Watch: Movement and Technical Specifications

UNICO Movement: Precision and Innovation

At the core of the Big Bang UNICO FULL MAGIC GOLD beats the UNICO 2 manufacture movement (HUB 1280). Hublot’s commitment to innovation shines through in this automatic chronograph movement:

• Open Heart Design: The UNICO movement reveals its inner workings through an “open heart.” A double coupling system and a column wheel are visible from the dial side, showcasing the intricate mechanics.
• 72-Hour Power Reserve: With a generous 72-hour power reserve, this movement ensures reliable timekeeping even during extended wear.
• Simplified Construction: Hublot has streamlined the movement, reducing it to 354 components. Simplicity enhances reliability and robustness, a testament to their technical prowess.

Case and Water Resistance

The 44mm case of the Big Bang UNICO FULL MAGIC GOLD is crafted from polished 18K Magic Gold. The bezel, also in Magic Gold, features 6 H-shaped black-plated titanium screws. The watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM), making it suitable for both formal occasions and active lifestyles.

In the Big Bang UNICO FULL MAGIC GOLD, Hublot achieves the impossible. It’s a testament to their commitment to fusion, pushing boundaries, and creating timepieces that defy compromise. As you wear this limited edition masterpiece, remember that it embodies not just luxury, but the spirit of innovation itself.
