Hublot

Hublot was established in 1980 by Carlo Crocco. It is a Swiss watchmaking company that seamlessly brings together two seemingly opposite concepts - tradition and innovation. The brand is known for its experimental designs, expert craftsmanship and precision. 

The first watch model developed by Hublot saw the combination of precious gold metal and rubber. It was a pioneering material and design choice that helped the brand establish its authority in the world of watchmaking. 

Hublot has come a long way since then. It has taken innovation to the next level with the development of precious alloys such as scratch-proof Magic Gold and a range of powerful in-house movements.

The Origin Story of Hublot

The founder of Hublot, Carlo Crocco, comes from an Italian family whose watchmaking company, Binda, had one of the leading watch sales in Italy in the 1970s. Carlo left the family business and started his own company in 1980. His vision was to create watches with unique Italian designs backed by superior Swiss craftsmanship. 

His vision led to the creation of the Classic Original. A model that was practical and, at the same time, had a classic appeal to it. Combining gold and rubber was a daring move by the company. 

Another distinguishing feature of the watch was the bezel design with 12 titanium screws inspired by a ship’s porthole. It is the same design that led to the brand getting its name. A porthole in French is known as ‘Hublot’ and thus was born a revolutionary brand in the world of horology.

Today, the brand has partnered with companies like FIFA, UEFA and Ferrari and contributes to philanthropic causes like SORAI, Polar Pod and Nespresso, strengthening its position as a disruptive brand in the watch industry.

Hublot’s Craftsmanship - A Blend of Conventional Mechanisms and Innovation

‘The Art of Fusion’ - This is the tagline you will find around all of Hublot’s branding. For Hublot, this tagline is a core value they live by. You can very well see the spirit of innovation reflected in the designs of Hublot’s watches, right from its first Classic Original to its Big Bang Collection.

Materials

Carlo Crocco was an avid sailor. He wanted to design a watch that one could wear while going to the office, playing sports or sailing. Thus, the idea of using a rubber strap was born. Over the past four decades, the brand has evolved, spent time in R&D and created new materials.

An example of this is Magic Gold. It is the only 18 k gold alloy in the world that is scratch-proof. This means you do not have to keep your luxury watches stored away in boxes. You can wear Hublot’s watches made with Magic Gold and show off its beauty and shine even when living your best active life.

Other noteworthy materials include ultra-tough ceramic and sapphire, available in different colours.

Precision

The brand has developed several unique movements that ensure its watches are precise, reliable and durable.

The Unico calibre was the first 100%  Hublot movement that redefined the automatic chronograph. It also developed an automatic tourbillon that provided a power reserve of 3 days.

Hublot’s partnership with Ferrari resulted in the MP-05 LaFerrari, the movement of which is powered by 637 components. The watch offers a 50-day power reserve - this is a world record for a hand-wound Tourbillon watch.

Craftsmanship

Hublot can provide customers with quality assurance as most of the manufacturing process is handled in-house at Nyon, Switzerland. It conducts R&D and produces micro-components for its dials and movements at the manufacturing unit. All key resources, such as watchmakers, engineers, chemists and physicists, also work under the same roof.

Such an arrangement fuels collaboration and leads to the execution of innovative ideas. As customers, you reap benefits in the form of modern luxury Hublot watches designed for the future.

Hublot Luxury Watches - Bold and Iconic Models

Hublot has released several luxury watches since its inception, with innovation at its core. The use of new materials, movements and colours has helped Hublot attract a diverse demographic.

Here are some of the best-selling Hublot luxury watches over the years.

Big Bang Original: The watch model was introduced in 2005, and it has gone on to become a best-seller for the brand. It is often dubbed as ‘The iconic Hublot model.’ The watch has a stainless steel case and black structured rubber straps offering a power reserve of 42 hours.

Classic Fusion: This model was a new take on Hublot’s first watch released in 1980, bringing together athletic and aesthetic styles. Released in 2008, the Classic Fusion was developed with a titanium case and was available in multiple colours. 

Big Bang Unico: The USP of the watch model is the in-house chronograph movement developed by Hublot. The mechanism is visible on the face of the watch thanks to its open dial structure. 

Spirit of the Big Bang: This collection in 2014 marked the beginning of barrel-shaped watches by Hublot. The open dial and multi-level construction provided the watch with an aesthetic and futuristic appearance. Some popular models in this collection include Titanium, King Gold, Tourbillon and Meca-10.
