Hublot makes color history again with this timepiece — the yellow is an intense fluorescent shade of acid yellow, citrus-like in its quality. To meet this highly technical challenge, Hublot had to search for a solution in space technology. In fact, SAXEM was developed in the field of satellite technology.

Hublot and rainbows have almost become synonymous; thus, it comes as no surprise that the brand introduced a new iteration during this LVMH Watch Week. There are 174 gemstones in total for the Big Bang Integrated and 176 gemstones for the Time Only, and the bracelet for each piece features 768 and 748 set gemstones, respectively.

During LVMH Watch Week, Bulgari debuted its new jeweled collection: “Time is a Jewel.” Introducing the Serpenti Tubogas Infinity, the new Bulgari snake added to its extensive repertoire. The brilliance of the diamonds extends the head of the snake, lit up by snow setting on the dial, a gem-set bezel, and eight diamonds on the curve of the case — all requiring a high level of expertise.
