The diamond illuminates life’s most precious moments. Day after day, time and time again, it calls to mind the cherished memories of wonderful feelings: fidelity, joy, gratitude, happiness, trust or love. Diamonds are perennially fascinating thanks to their unique beauty and infinite luminosity. We know that the value of a diamonds derives not solely from its beauty and luminosity, but also and above all from its quality, so we’re one of the few jewellers that has established its own gemmological centre. The internationaly experienced specialists in Hamburg subject diamonds to strict tests before “knighting“ each stone that passes those test with an individual Wempe certificate of authenticity and including it to our “Illumination” collection.
Whether you prefer a diamond that shines on its own as a solitaire or sparkles in lines of pave set, the choice is yours. The competent design of the Illumination collection is reflected in each of the individual lines of jewellery: Solitaire, Renaissance, Memoire, Rivière and Evergreen.

The new Hublot Big Bang chronograph reduced to ‘41mm’ is distinguishable by the multilayered construction of its case, and bezel complete with 6 ‘H’-shaped titanium screws, sunken, polished and blocked, like those found the first 44mm Big Bang chronograph. It is available in 18K red gold, steel or ceramic, and even with diamond setting.
An interesting side profile is achieved with a composite resin insert in a matching colour, which gives the impression that the Hublot natural rubber bracelet passes directly through the body of the chronograph.
On a technical note, the mechanical chronograph movement with automatic movement 2894 and oscillating weight in tungsten carbide, personalised in the colours of Hublot, is left open to view through the sapphire crystal encased by the steel back. Hublot also had its female clientele in mind when developing the new ‘41mm’ Big Bang chronograph in a “Black Magic” version with black ceramic base and bezel; an “Aspen” version in white ceramic with white rubber strap and dial or with bezel set with 114 diamonds weighing 1.22K; a “Frappuccino” version in black ceramic with chocolate brown dial and strap; and a “Porto Cervo” version in 18K red gold, bezel set with 114 diamonds weighing 1.22K, white dial and white rubber strap, which offers an astonishing contrast and further accentuates the fusion of unique materials.
