The Hublot Classic Fusion Tourbillon Cathedral Minute Repeater Carbon Lang Lang is a true masterpiece of horological artistry and musical inspiration. Created in partnership with the iconic pianist Lang Lang, this exceptional timepiece blends the worlds of watchmaking and music seamlessly.
At its heart is the "cathedral" double gong, which produces rich, resonant chimes to indicate the hours and minutes. Echoing the mechanics of a piano, the watch features two finely engraved hammers bearing Lang Lang's name, striking steel wires coiled around the movement to create its enchanting sound.
In addition, the Grand Prix d'Hologerie Genève striking watch price winner in 2014 was executed in carbon material for a reason: it was a request from Lang Lang himself that the watch be super lightweight, thus allowing an effortless feel on the wrist while playing the piano.
Limited to just eight pieces, this rare creation combines two complex mechanisms: the striking mechanism and the tourbillon. With 319 intricately crafted components, it not only defies gravity but also boasts an impressive power reserve of 85 hours. A celebration of precision and artistry, this watch is as rare as it is remarkable.
