Timepiece Spotlight: Hublot's One Million $ Black Caviar Bang

One Million $ Black Caviar Bang

Hublot,, arguable the most innovative Swiss watch brand in the world today, just presented a one-of-a-kind piece of art that empitomizes “invisible visibility” in a uniform range of black tones! The watchmaking brand and the setting workshop Bunter SA have together developed a World Première with a completely invisible setting, using only black diamonds.

It’s a world "first", and a technological and artistic achievement. The dream of combining key Hublot, concepts – invisible visibility, “All Black”, watchmaking tradition and state-ofthe- art technology – has become reality thanks to the creativity, the ingenuity and a touch of the “crazy” which spurred on its designers to create such a masterpiece. The high level of micro-mechanic sophistication, combined with the dexterity of the human hand, has resulted in the One Million $ Black Caviar Bang.

Its setting is very complex. The difficulty resides in the unusual lines of the Big Bang case– round but with sharp angles. The white gold, one-piece construction of the case does not reveal one grain of gold, and the diamonds, cut in mysterious ways, seem to hold together as if by magic. The only visible feature is the black and deep tones of the diamonds, shining in their harmonious alignment.

This unique piece, which houses a Tourbillon, symbolises the fusion between watchmaking and jewellery, between tradition and technology, and between glittering and invisibility. The vibration which emanates from it gives rise to an emotion tinged with fascination. As Jean-Claude Biver says: “When each element is crafted individually and in coherence with the one right next to it, this is invisible from the outside but creates a vibration of harmony which is visible and gives rise to emotion in those who perceive it”.

Creating this exceptional watch demanded over 2000 hours of meticulous work, from design to final adjustment, without forgetting the research and development, programming of the machines, choice of tools, diamond cutting, optical checking of each part, and setting and casing. 544 VVS TW-IF quality baguette diamonds adorn the watch’s case, dial, crown and deployant clasp.

King Jewelers, Nashville is the exclusive Hublot retailer for the entire Central South. Opened in November 2008 and located at 4121 Hillsboro Road in the beautiful shopping area of Green Hills, TN, the showroom features shop-in-shop boutiques from Bulgari, Harry Winston, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Piaget, Cartier, Girard-Perregaux, Corum, Hublot, Chopard, and Breitling.

KING JEWELERS: Watch Trends 2009: Black on Black Watches

In the world of haute horology, black is definitely the new black! Men's watches have come a long way way since standard gold bracelets and white faces. Rock & Roll style is in full swing this year with stellar black on black watches in black PVD. steel, titanium, carbon fiber and rubber. These are all versatile, going effortlessly from day to night.

Complex movements that combine traditional Swiss Horology with the visionary art of 21st century watch making. The Big Bang line fuses unique materials with sturdy construction, and this black on black Big Bang is no exception. The Big Bang Black combines black ceramic black rubber in a watch that commands attention.

Bell & Ross's BR-01 Tourbillon is a complex mechanical construction that cancels rate discrepancies in the vertical position. The "trust index" or "precision indicator" indicates the time interval during which the watch's precision is optimum. The regulator dissociates the hour hand and the minute hand to favor the reading of the minutes. The minute hand is the biggest and benefits from a central position. The power reserve indicator indicated the operating time remaining on a 5 day scale.

Alpina's Extreme Regulator Black is a powerful yet elegant wristwatch with a 48mm case diameter. The uncompromisingly bold design and character entertains a three body matte black solid stainless steel case and screw down sapphire crystal on the dial. With its extremely pronounced design, the Avalanche is set to become a new leader in sports watches.

This stunning Franc Vila FVa8Ch EL BANDIDO flyback chronograph skeleton tourbillion is inspired by architecture and modern art. Frank Vila pushes all boundaries and raises the bar with this limited edition timepiece in black Franc Vila DieHard Extreme steel.

This Bovet Sportster Chronograph 44mm Saguaro watch in Black PVD Stainless Steel features a sporty black dial with gold lumininous hands and markers, a date display at 12 o'clock, contrasting chronograph counters, a tachometer and pulsometer scale with the crown and chronograph pushers uniquely placed at the top of the 44mm case and shown here on a black rubber strap. The Bovet Sportster Chronograph 44mm Saguaro watch also features a self-winding movement with a chronograph function, a 45-hour power reserve, and water resistance to 300 meters.


The Chronographe Suisse Mangusta Supermeccanica in black steel is an updated version of the original. It differs from its precursors by a front side and an imposing 51.40mm of dimension, this tool, to measure short times, extremely robust, do not yield to any concession. Everyone agrees that the Mangusta Supermeccanica is of a purified aesthetics model. The resulting power in no way detracts from the strength and beauty of the instruments lines, nor the precision and perfection of its function. Chronographe Suisse is available exclusively at King Jewelers.
