HUBLOT
BIG BANG UNICO RED MAGIC
With just 500 pieces released , this 45mm red case and bezel are made from Hublot ’ s polished and patented red ceramic — the first of its color seen on any watch . The flange , indexes , minute and seconds counters , Arabic numerals and hands all match this hue , adorned in the same red to highlight the contrast with the mechanism of the Unico HUB124 manufacture movement and its column wheel , visible on the dial side through the sapphire crystal . This theme encompasses the entire watch , matched with a lined structured red rubber strap . Five-hundred will be made , though expect additional colors in the future .
BIG BANG SAPPHIRE TOURBILLON The new sapphire model is completely transparent , including the 45mm case , dial , strap and tourbillon movement . The crystalline connections disappear to reveal the skeleton mechanics of the tourbillon , for which the cage is held in place by a strip cut from sapphire . All of the parts are clear : the sapphire middle , bezel and the back of the case reveal crystal mechanics that seem to float . The dial and its numbers , index and power reserve indicator are all opalescent , topped with perforated hands . Hublot will make 99 .
KLOKERS
KLOK-08
The Klokers KLOK-08 , whose 39mm neo-retro design is inspired by the Sixties , introduces a new way of telling time . The dial is composed of two disks : one disk for hours and minutes , and one for seconds . The disks turn counter-clockwise to indicate the time on a vertical line at the top of the dial . At Baselworld , the brand showed the pre-series in its three colors : white dial with rose gold plated stainless steel case , black and absinthe yellow dial with stainless steel case , and warm gray and orange dial with stainless steel case . Available this Fall . Price : 480 Euro ( about $ 590 ).
