Beyonce Knowles has bought her husband Jay Z a luxury diamond-encrusted Hublot Big Bang costing around $5 million as a present for his 43rd birthday.  The extraordinary timepiece, which has been dubbed The $5 Million Watch by Hublot due to its price, is set with 1,282 VVS G color diamonds.  The Big Bang was put on display at the BaselWorld show earlier this year and was said to be the most expensive watch exhibited at the show which is famous for its luxury timepieces.

A $5 Mil.Watch?


The world’s biggest watch event opens to the public Thursday in Basel, Switzerland, on the back of a bumper year thanks to Asian demand for luxury timepieces.  Hublot, a subsidiary of French luxury goods group LVMH, will use the high-profile event to unveil “The $5 million” a watch comprising no less than 1,282 diamonds.  “This is the most precious watch ever created by Hublot and its long-standing partner, Atelier Bunter in Geneva,” said Hublot.  The piece is the result of 14 months work, including that of a “master-cutter” from New York who fashioned the largest stones.  Jean-Claude Biver, president of the watch company, said it would be difficult to make a more expensive watch “because the surface of the watch is limited.”  The watch will be displayed under very tight security, a company spokeswoman said, and only select Baselworld attendees will even be allowed to view it.

Hublot Chukker Bang Watch.


Hublot have released in collaboration with Polo Gold Cup Gstaad the limited edition Chukker Bang.  The new watch is inspired by the world of polo, and even developed together with Facundo Piers, who is one of the wold’s best polo players.  Movement is the Swiss automatic Hublot caliber HUB1141 flyback automatic chronograph movement with 59 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours.  The special feature of this caliber is its 7 min. 30 counter which reflects the length of one period of play, or “chukka”, in a polo match.  Its chronograph hand completes one revolution of the dial in 30 seconds.  Other features include a 44.5mm titanium case and grille, a ceramic bezel, satin bridges with black PVD titanium screws, a rhodium-plated main plate, and, of course, special Chukker Bang engraving on the back.  Only 500 numbered pieces of the watch will be produced and it also comes in a version with a diamond encrusted grill.
