Literally drowning with diamonds, the $3 million Big Bang watch is comprised of 18k white gold and covered in baguette diamonds all over the tourbillon. The piece is roughly 142 carats, with the rectangle and square-shaped diamonds covering the case dial and bracelet of the $3 million watch. This Hublot Big Bang is a follow up to Hublot's $1 million dollar Big Bang King Power watch that debuted years ago and featured black diamonds. Inside the new edition is an in-house caliber HUB 6003, which is a manually wound mechanism. The Hublot Big Bang series watches are not for the faint of heart, as the watches tend to be very large in diameter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Iced-out Timepieces:** Capitalizing on the trend of high-end luxury watches with diamond-encrusted designs. - **Exuberant Luxury Wearables:** Designing and marketing luxury wearables that emphasize opulence and affluence. - **Mega-carats on Timepieces:** Catering to the desires of high net-worth individuals with an emphasis on the number of carats on a designer timepiece. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Luxury Jewelry:** Creating high-end diamond-encrusted jewelry designs to complement luxury watches like the Hublot Big Bang. - **Swiss Watchmaking:** Focusing on producing unique luxury watches with intricate mechanisms and design elements to appeal to high-end clientele. - **Luxury Fashion:** Incorporating luxurious and extravagant watch designs into their fashion lines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fanciful Futuristic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-mp10-tourbillon.md) - [Collaborative Fashion Designer Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-big-bang-tourbillon.md) - [High-End Timepiece Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-big-bang-e-gen-3.md) - [Melting Crystalline Dial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-mp17-meca10.md) - [Concrete Art-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-bang-meca10.md) - [Hypercar-Inspired Luxury Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourbillon-baguette.md) - [Luxe Diamond Watch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept.md) - [Sculptural Titanium Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mp17-meca10.md) - [Diamond Smartwatch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept-1.md)
