Hublot Big Bang Atomic D-38 Watch Proves Your Manliness With Radioactive Uranium
Celebrating A Decade Of Big BangTen years ago in 2004, Hublot first released the Big Bang: a timepiece that would forever change the brand and would help put then owner (now Chairman) Jean-Claude Biver on the minds of the general public as well as arguably make him the most important person in the modern watch industry. Under Jean-Claude Biver, the design philosophy at Hublot has been "fusion," or rather the combination of a range of materials in their ever expanding catalog of watches.Over the years, Hublot has produced timepieces that have featured an array of rare or unique materials not often seen in watch making, such as tungsten or magnesium, and developed their own materials and alloys such as King Gold and Magic Gold.

As one of the ultimate lifestyle brands, Hublot wanted to do something special and very difficult for the 10th anniversary of the Big Bang.Uranium As An Exclusiv

The component maker currently is comprised of three locations, and I got to visit the most important facility - the assembly plant.The air of the facility is very industrial. There is a bit more hustle and bustle here than

AP ROO Date wheel font
I have been a Rolex, PAM, Omega, Chopard owner with a collection of 6 different watches, I think now is the right time for me to get the long awaited AP first step is to identify which Off shore model to chase (needs a lot of studying) looking at several photos in the forum I noticed that there are 2 different fonts for the date within the offshore!
