The Big Bang was Hublot's first new release in 2005, a year after Jean Claude Biver had taken over Carlo Crocco's brand. The design was inspired from the porthole and relied on pairing precious materials with rubber: the 'Art of Fusion' was reborn. The Big Bang Ice Bang was released in 2012, offering a stealthy look with monochromatic tones. The present watch was purchased in 2012 and bears a light yet scratchproof ceramic case with a Tungsten bezel. It is offered as a complete set, including the original invoice.
