Hublot

This year prior to Baselworld, Hublot issued a press release announcing their new Big Bang Sapphire Tourbillon. The brand has created numerous spectacular variations of the Big Bang in sapphire, so it’s easy to imagine how a tourbillon version would look....  

It's just the euphoria of Crystal Mech. Crystalline Mechanics - that is. ( There. I said it. I wanted SOOO bad to make that reference in the post! )

and I’m sure that we will see other manufacturers attempting similar case designs with various materials. The case looks superb and the light entering the movement must look superb. How this will affect the lubricants and parts I don’t know. My only other... 

But somehow I can't get rid of my automatic mental association of any clear/transparent body/case watch with Swatch. My apology I think it is my personal sticky memory

Still, when you see this, you appreciate it for what it is. Incredible.
