The watchmaker has unveiled the multi-coloured ceramic dubbed “Magic Ceramic”, a true innovation that’s been several years in the making. For over ten years, Hublot has been at the vanguard of developing and producing coloured ceramics, remaining the only watch Manufacture capable of producing vibrantly coloured ceramics in-house. Thanks to the expertise of its R&D and Materials & Metallurgy teams, who take on the role of “alchemists of time”, this achievement marks the beginning of a new world in terms of creative possibilities, artistic expression and freedom.
More than just a simple layering of pigments, achieving multi-coloured ceramic requires innovative thinking and a deep understanding of ceramics and how colours are reproduced. Each pigment used for colour must go through different temperatures during the firing and moulding processes of the ceramic components. The challenge therefore lies in finding the perfect balance to obtain a homogeneous and flawless result – time and time again. Always leading and never following, Hublot’s new “Magic Ceramic” is born of a pending patent process and is making its debut in the Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic, a 20-piece limited edition offering a glimpse of one of the countless possibilities offered by this innovation.
In the Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic, the dark grey ceramic bezel gives way to intense blue circles arranged in a seemingly random and organic pattern. Like a work of contemporary abstract or pop art, the way the circles are perfectly and seamlessly integrated within the rest of the ceramic is a testament to the ingenuity of the patent-pending process.
