Hublot
Founded in 1980, Hublot was the first luxury watchmaker to combine gold and natural rubber. This creative concept, known as the “Art of Fusion”, caused a real stir in the watchmaking industry at that time. The original design of these watches (the case on the first watch took its inspiration directly from a boat’s porthole, an hublot in French) and their comfortable fit have made them highly sought-after – members of the royal families were the first to show their enthusiasm.
In 2004, Mr Jean-Claude Biver – one of the few people to have genuinely left their mark on Swiss watchmaking, took control of the brand and gave it tremendous momentum, leading to Hublot’s impressive growth. The BIG BANG Chronograph launched in 2005 received multiple awards due to its contemporary and elegant design – brand new to the world of watchmaking, the design is immediately recognizable with sharper corners and its 6 screws which passes right through the case – representing the perfect illustration of the concept of fusion and philosophy of the brand.
In 2009, Mr Bernard Arnault and Mr Jean-Claude Biver jointly oversaw the inauguration of a new high-tech manufacture in premises over 6000m square, set on the banks of Lake Geneva. This was an important step for the autonomy of Hublot in its creativity and innovative research. The site is currently dedicated to the production of the unique UNICO movement, a column-wheel chronograph integrated into the dial side, conceived, developed and manufactured entirely by Hublot as well as Grand watch Complications.
Since then, there have been 5 collections – Big Bang, Classic Fusion, Manufacture Pieces, Techframe and King Power – housing movements ranging from the simplest to the most complicated including the world record breaker with 50 days of power reserve for the MP-05 LaFerrari, tourbillons, minute repeaters with cathedral chime, the Antikythera movement, the Key of Time movement and more.
Thanks to these pieces, Hublot continues to write the history of fusion by combining materials such as Magic Gold, King Gold and titanium, with more traditional materials like platinum, ceramics, steel, rubber, diamonds and precious stones.
Anchored in the present and always evolving at the forefront of new advances in technology and fundamental research into new materials, Hublot remains committed to traditional expertise by creating timepieces which bear the mark of the most talented master watchmakers. In this way, the brand represents the Art of Fusion between watchmaking culture and cutting-edge technical developments, between the past and the future. In the words of Hublot’s Chairman Mr Jean-Claude Biver, “we are not breaking with the past. On the contrary, we are paying homage to it by connecting it to the future.”
