All this within a context where some pupils rarely read anything other than their smartphone\u2026 Although somewhat elitist, the Hublot and Coll\u00e8ge du L\u00e9man joint initiative thus deserves credit for creating a Big Bang limited series bearing the colors of the prestigious international school on the outskirts of Geneva. Enthroned in a display case at the entrance to the establishment, the self-winding satin-brushed stainless steel chronograph is a 20-piece limited edition of which two are intended for the schools valedictorians. The eye-catching blue of its ceramic bezel is also picked up in the lateral composite resin inlays, the rubber inserts on the crown and pushers, as well as extending to the crocodile leather strap. The other dominant color of the school crest \u2013 red \u2013 enlivens the luminescent hands and hour-markers, gold-rimmed like the Coll\u00e8ge du L\u00e9man initials appearing at the top of the dial at 12 o\u2019clock. The last golden touch appears in the strap stitching. It is too soon to find out whether children or parents will form the majority of those slipping this timepiece onto their wrist\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hublot Big Bang Coll\u00e8ge du L\u00e9man CASE : satin-brushed steel, ceramic bezel with titanium screws, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":31126,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31129"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31129"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31130,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31129\/revisions\/31130"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
