Baselworld 2012: Hublot Big Bang Boa Bang

The Boa Bang or the call of the jungle…After the phenomenal success of the Leopard Bang which really left its mark on the catwalk last winter, Hublot is now giving pride of place to the snakeskin print.  Snakeskin fashion, hints of the jungle — will the fashionistas come running?  ;-)
