Closer Look: Hublot Classic Fusion Gold Crystal
These powerful collisions generated the energy needed to bind lighter elements into heavier ones in a matter of seconds. Scientists speculate that such a collision occurred billions of years in the past in our solar system’s vicinity. That same collision likely resulted in the very birth of our solar system.
Most of the gold found in the crust and mantle of the Earth are microscopic dust particles embedded in rock; far less is actually in nuggets found in bedrock or mines. But of all the variations of gold that one sees in the natural world, the rarest is crystalline gold.
The material is formed as gold-bearing water runs through rock, forming veins upon which the gold flakes are deposited. (The largest ever discovered single crystal of gold found was 217 grams in weight, and worth over USD1.5 million.)
The recreation of the natural beauty of gold crystals is part of the allure of this watch, particularly housed in a high-tech ceramic case. It’s a great case of technology imitating nature.
