There is a watch club many of us don't know about. Informal or not, the million dollar watch club boasts esteemed watch companies who have offered watches with prices of one million dollars or more. For a watch to reach such high value, an extremely decadent portion of precious jewels must be placed on most every millimeter of surface area on the face and case.
The newest member of the million dollar watch club is the Hublot Black Caviar Bang. Coming from the Big Bang line with all its derivatives, the Black Caviar Bang has an 18k white gold case and clasp that feature hundreds of precision cut black diamonds, for a total of 34.5 total carats. This includes 322 diamonds on the case, 179 on the bezel, and another 30 on the clasp at the end of the rubber strap. Black diamonds are exceedingly rare, and are attributed for most of the Black Caviar Bang's million dollar value.
Inside the watch is Hublot's specially manufactured manually wound HUB Solo T tourbillon movement. A beautifully designed face opens with a view on the one minute tourbillon, and diamonds are patterned into the face as the power reserve indicator. The design of the face is attractive and functional, but doesn't try very hard to be practical. With an impressive array of square cut black diamonds, the Hublot Black Caviar Bang register's high on the glitz scale as well as the exclusivity meter with a limited edition of only one piece.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: While not possessing the historic pedigree of most of it's peers, the Hublot watchmaking brand has become synonymous with single-minded design brilliance and innovation.
Founded in 1980 by Carlo Crocco, Hublot's original transformative measure wasn't based much on byzantine-like complications @ all, but, instead, was the introduction of the 1st natural black rubber watch strap. Today, this relative "new kid on the block" is most recognized for their "Big Bang" series of voluptuously exquisite timepieces. Of course, being the rose gold standard for high end hood socialites the world over, Livestyle previously ran a feature on that collection. Stop playin'.
The Hublot Black Caviar Bang is a welcome addition to this edition of popular watches. I've already told Y.O.U. where I see the watch market going with black watches (possibly even black ceramic) and this million dollar masterpiece enriched with naturally occurring (oh yes, we shall discuss "treated" or "enhanced" diamonds in the future and why many of your favorite barely-sold-any-albums rappers are able to glow like so ... lol) black diamonds, registering @ 34.5 total carats, really sets this bad boy apart my nig.
Don't even worry about the price - this particular watch be a 1-of-1. Simply enjoy looking @ it, respect the Hublot technique and impress your friends with your new found knowledge. Holla @ ya boy in BK!
