Hublot

The Swiss watchmaker Hublot is a relatively new entrant in the market. In this day of large groups of affiliated companies it is unusual in still being a small, independent company.

History

Hublot began in 1980 when watchmaker Carlo Crocco formed his own company "MDM Geneve". The name "Hublot" for the watch design is based on French word for "porthole", a look which influenced the design.

The company is known for its "fusion" of sometimes unlikely materials. This began with the very first Hublot watch and the - then - surprising fusion of gold and rubber.

The use of the black rubber strap has become something of a "signature" for Hublot. It has also now been adopted by some other watchmakers.

The main Hublot ranges currenly availabl to buy are "Classic", "Sport" and "Elegant". The "Art" collection consists of Limited Series of special pieces.

Big Bang

Hublot's new Big Bang range of watches has been getting a lot of positive attention. It takes the company's "Fusion" concept to new levels.

The most striking design feature of the Big Bang is the use of a layered case and kevlar insert to give the impression that the rubber strap actually passes right the way through the watch case in one seamless band. The transparent back offers a view of the HUB44 mechanical chronograph movement developed for Hublot by La Joux-Perret.

In 2005 the Hublot Big Bang won three international awards: "Best Design" at the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix, "Best Sports Watch" at the "Watch of the Year Award in Japan, and "Best Oversized Watch" at the Editor's Choice "Watch of the Year" of the Middle East.
