The Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 Days Sapphire Watch Reviews

Image
At Baselworld 2018, there were many highlights, including aspects, among others, the rise of ladies' watches, the Rainbow Daytona, and stronger pieces and easier to use than ever before. But one of the biggest surprises for me was my strange affinity for Hublot's Big Bang Tourbillon 5 Days Sapphire. Although this watch is one of the most ridiculous pieces of our time (I mean, who really needs this watch?), I could not help but respect it, and that's the reason. Let's put it aside: Hublot is not for everyone. In fact, Hublot is not intended for many people (especially me, in general), but we must give credit to the brand to always exceed the limits, whether for aesthetic or mechanical reasons. or materials.

The blue is vibrant and translucent but less transparent than the transparent sapphire, which results in a more elegant aesthetic, and you do not have to worry about seeing the hair on the arm through the watch, than the sapphire crystal cases tend to have a problem with.
