As a material, ceramic presents some teething challenges for the watch creator so that there aren’t many companies that will do a lot with it, or anything too complicated. For one, it is an extremely hard material to machine and to finish. Colouring too presents difficulties as the base expectation is nothing short of perfect homogeneity. Anything short of that requires the whole laborious process to be restarted from scratch, patching is not an option.
For this reason, Hublot is trumpeting yet another first in the company’s healthy list of materials innovations, this time producing a tourbillon minute repeater fashioned entirely in ceramic. There have been ceramic minute repeaters from other manufactures, but in a choice of black or white, the Big Bang Integral Minute Repeater Ceramic is the first minute repeater to feature a ceramic case with integrated ceramic bracelet.
