**Cermet** is a composite material, which for the first time was used by [[Hublot]] as case material of the model [[Hublot Big Bang "Bullet Bang"|Big Bang "Bullet Bang"]]. Its name is a contraction of **cer**amic and **met**al. It involves a newly developed, extra-hard compound [[ceramic]] and metals such as [[tungsten]] or bronze. Cermet is used e.g. for cutting and milling tools.

In addition to the unusual appearance that a watch shows with this material, a further welcome feature is that it is exceptionally resistant to scratches or deformation.
