Hublot 2 Million € BB for sale

Posted 11 months, 2 weeks ago


The unique Hublot 2 Million € BB is finally available for sale.

This extraordinary luxurious and unique watch has arrived in the principality of Monaco at Zegg & Cerlati. This exclusive watch and jewelry shop is known for great selection of rare and limited edition collections, and Hublot 2 Million € BB is an exclusivity in a true sense of that word. Development of this watch was a secret project that started as an amusing challenge between Hublot's CEO and their master gemstone setters. The watch was finally completed after 12 months of careful and dedicated gem setting, and it came to life just before the opening of the BaselWorld exhibition this year.

What is so extraordinary about Hublot 2 Million € BB? The watch is sculptured from 637 baguette diamonds and a rose cut diamond on the crown. But it isn’t just the outer sparkling beauty of a piece that takes our breath away! The watch is also equipped with a Vendôme Tourbillon movement, a refined mechanism that appeals to all admirers of fine watchmaking. The watch represents a perfect fusion between jewelry and horology, and once again celebrates the ingenuity of Hublot’s master crafters.



The gem setting and selecting process was especially demanding. All of the diamonds used for this watch are of TOP Wesselton quality and AVVS clarity. It took about a month before 45 gem cutters, engaged on this project, created 637 baguette-cut diamonds, totaling over 141 carats. The process of setting was, however, far more demanding as it took 9 long months before the stones were positioned in "Clou de Paris" pattern.



Tourbillon Vendôme, already seen on Hublot watches, was invented to celebrate opening of the Hublot’s boutique at Place Vendôme. It features two columns that frame the tourbillon cage, representing the columns of the Place Vendôme, illuminated by Hublot to celebrate its bicentenary. The movement HUB6003 was completely developed in Hublot workshops and offers 5 days of power reserve.

The name says it all: it is a unique piece priced at 2 million Euros.
