ublot: A Fusion of Innovation and Luxury
Established in 1980, Hublot is one of the leading watch manufacturers in the world with its excellent combinations of high technology and luxury craftsmanship. Hublot was established by Carlo Crocco. One of the features that made Hublot so unique was the wide range of new materials and designs that were incorporated in the making of Hublot watches.
A Legacy of Innovation
From the ‘Art of Fusion’ philosophy that launched the lineage to the use of innovative materials such as ceramic, carbon fiber and titanium, every Hublot is a result of many decades of dedicated research to develop what was never before conceived. From the iconic Big Bang with its stark industrial aesthetic to the Classic Fusion that makes luxury elegant once again, innovation echoes through every corner of its DNA.
Craftsmanship and Excellence
In every single part of the Hublot watches, there is a delicate and exacting execution of finishing and craftsmanship. Each timepiece is forged out of tradition and technology, to create watches that are committed to beauty and accuracy. From the formation of the balance wheels to the use of innovative gem setting techniques such as the world’s first double face gem-set sapphire crystal and double gem-set bezel, the Hublot watchmaking artistry is unsurpassed.
Iconic Collections
The house possesses a panoply of iconic collections to suit every taste and personality. The Big Bang – featuring an ultra-constructivist design – has become a synonym for the house’s identity as well as a celebrity favorite and robust bestseller. Meanwhile, the Classic Fusion collection exudes a quieter, yet no less elegant haute-horlogerie vibe. It’s slight sister line, the Classic Fusion Tourbillon, features glorious astronomical complications. The flexuous Spirit of Big Bang sister line, which is less square, and the defensively hefty MP (Masterpiece) collection – the Masterpiece Minute Repeater and the Masterpiece Perpetual Calendar are stand outs –are other choices. Then there’s the hulking King Power line.
Pioneering Spirit
Hublot is also a pioneer in technology including the use of in-house movements and complex complications, such as the mono-pusher chronograph and tourbillon. Addressing sustainability in the luxury sector, Hublot is committed to reducing the ecological footprint and promoting ethical principles for its suppliers.
Embracing the Future
Even now, as the brand continues to advance its vision by combining tradition and uncompromising technological innovation, Hublot is still guided by its founding principles of being at the forefront of innovation; perpetuating excellence; and imparting a sense of luxury. But the world is a very different place now. Although Hublot’s commitment to living by these principles remains unchanged, and they continue to reinvent new concepts in watchmaking through their mastery of proprietary materials and pioneering technologies, the modern Hublot has also shifted its focus. It is now more than just about mind-blowing complications or the type of mechanistic showmanship we are used to seeing on displays. Their vision has been reduced to one of elegance, but with the future in mind, and an unwavering attachment to its roots.
