Going out with a bang: 3 of the best Hublot Big Bangs

3 of the best Hublot Big BangsEver since its unveiling way back in 2005 at Baselworld, Hublot’s Big Bang has been not only an inimitable collection of timepieces but also a provocateur in the horological landscape that has challenged the notion of what a timepiece can and should be.
