Hublot is celebrating a significant step forward in its ultra-technical and contemporary design with the release of a Big Bang MP-11 made with an innovative material never before used in watchmaking.
Having made huge investments in the industrialization of sapphire, Hublot has been able to offer watches in several colors such as black, yellow, blue and red. However, a true emerald green has proved elusive to the point that the company has moved to SAXEM.
This new material, a mixture of aluminum oxide and rare elements like thulium, holmium and chromium acronym of sapphire, produces a deep green that stands up to the finest emeralds and offers a level of strength that rivals that of a diamond. Its cubic crystalline structure guarantees the same shade and intensity of color regardless of the angle from which you look at the case.

The Big Bang MP-11 in green SAXEM is limited to just 20 pieces, making it attractive to discerning collectors of rare and innovative pieces. A price of $127,000 dollars reflects its technical innovation and also its grand complications.
