Hublot launches Magic Ceramic, the world's first shaded ceramic

According to the company, this is the world's first homogeneous multi-colored ceramic... or can i say the first to be available. replica watches reviews

Over time, Hublot has become one of the most imaginative brands in the field of ceramic wrist watches, with cases and elements in unimaginably bright shades (green, orange, light blue, yellow, sand... ). Getting vivid colors on ceramic is somewhat more difficult than many people consider, its base material : ZrO2 zirconium oxide rapid is white and has to be combined with metal oxides to deliver out its color, which in turn fades. After mastering monochromatic tones for more than a decade, Orifice has been working on the next period, which will be linked to the 20th house warming of the Big Bang; colorful ceramic, a solid homogeneous substance, which the brand claims can be a world first. It is known as Magic Ceramic and is accessible in a limited edition of thirty pieces, the Big Bang Unico.

Before we have to what Hublot claims to have got achieved, let's talk about colorful ceramic. As in our circumstance, you probably already have in mind the earlier high quality replica watches and parts made of ceramic in numerous colors. The simplest example is certainly the two-tone ceramic frame of the Rolex GMT-Master 2 - Pepsi, Batman, Main Beer... Here we are referring to surface treatment - Panerai is very open about this instructions where a single-color ceramic aspect is subsequently treated with warmth and chemicals to obtain a next color - on the surface.

Next up will be something newer and more exciting, the colored ceramic principle from Audemars Piguet, that has been launched as a prototype at the begining of 2024. The process, which is to some extent explained in Audemars Piguet's patent WO2024134390A1, consists inside creating ceramic components together with two or more components, showing habits and different shades. Reading often the patent makes things somewhat confusing. But what we do know concerning Audemars Piguet’s Spark Flat screen Sintering technology is this: “To create this multi-colored camouflage clothing pattern, ceramic powders of numerous colors are carefully put in a circular graphite form. The mold is then sintered using a strong electric current performed through the graphite. This existing causes the temperature to elevate sharply, which, combined with physical pressure on both sides in the mold, allows extremely fast sintering. The compression of the porcelain powder during the sintering method makes each piece special, as the pattern will be different each time. Despite the differences in the actual pattern, this technology assures visual consistency between diverse ceramic parts. The resulting compact disk is then processed to make it quite difficult until it reaches the desired condition. ” Two comments; it would appear that Audemars Piguet has simply produced the material in a single shade (a gray tone) at the moment; Audemars Piguet has not but launched a watch on the market, as well as the model you see above is often a noncommercial prototype. replica watches for sale

Hublot’s Magic Ceramic

Now, in 2025, Hublot has launched a fresh material (or at least a fresh process) that they claim will be the “world’s first colored hard. ” It’s certainly an excellent statement, and we investigated more by speaking to Mathias Buttet, Hublot’s Director of Analysis and Development, who discussed in more detail the patent-pending process, which was conceived within just Hublot’s in-house facilities. In the interests of clarity, and with some safety measures, we’ll say that this is the to-days first commercially available colored fine ceramic on the market. But that doesn’t replace the fact that it’s technically outstanding.

Magic Ceramic is a homogeneous material, some sort of multi-colored ceramic that shows patterns and colors through the ingenious use of colored pigments (metal oxides), each of which is pass through different temperatures during the preparing and molding of the porcelain parts. The blanks happen to be made with the colors and behaviour inside the material (the core), and are then processed directly into watch parts - in such cases, the bezel, as a 1st demonstration of this knowledge. Because of this if you cut the viser in half, you can still begin to see the patterns and colors inside the hard. “The challenge, therefore , is always to find the perfect balance to acquire a homogeneous, perfect result, ” Hublot says.

However , given that the process seems to be under control, Passage shows us that the options are endless. For example , this specific watch features a dark off white ceramic base with darker blue circles arranged inside a seemingly random and organic and natural pattern. Hublot says the luminosidad around the blue circles has been intentional, which would have created a specific, even dividing line involving the colors. Hublot also lets us know that they conducted more lab tests to create geometric patterns, diverse coloring, and even gradient effects with a piece of ceramic - a number of the results will be exhibited from " Watches & Wonders" to show the possibilities of " Magic Ceramic". As a result, this opens up a new world of creativity along with boldness (maybe a bit too significantly, but if Hublot didn't improve boldly, it wouldn't always be Hublot).

BIG BANG UNICO Magic Ceramic

This new Magic Ceramic is not just a concept, but a new commercialized idea, which is exhibited in the new Big Bang Unico Limited Edition. The bottom watch is classic in addition to famous, exactly the same as the Big Bang Unico Ice Bang we introduced in this article. This implies a 42mm x 13. 50mm black ceramic Big Bang watch with a matte surface, polished decoration, significant side buttons and dark-colored ceramic side protectors. replica Greubel Forsey Quadruple Tourbillon

The main element here is the bezel, which usually consists of blue circles for a dark grey base ~ as you can see, their placement furthermore depends on how the parts are usually machined, with each of the 30 parts having a slightly different geometric pattern. The watch comes with a plastic strap with a full black lining, keeping things guaranteed focusing on the bezel.

The matte black skeletonised dial with substantial luminous applied hour paintball guns and hands houses the particular in-house Unico movement below. This automatic integrated flyback chronograph with column tyre is finished in a dark dull hue that complements the key colour of the multi-coloured fine ceramic. It runs at 4Hz and stores up to a few days of power reserve.

This is just the first sort of Hublot using this multi-coloured porcelain concept, which will no doubt possibly be expanded in the future. replica Jacob & Co. Astronomia
