Pretty wild right? This is the new version of the La Clef du Temps watch. From La Clef to La Cle, funny enough they both mean the key of time. The original La Clef du Temps was never originally meant to be an Hublot watch. It was designed for the Confrerie Horlogere under BNB Concept before it went bankrupt. When Hublot bought up the Confrerie and Mathias [...]
Hublot goes tonneau. Fans of the brands have been asking for a non Big Bang or King Power inspired watch for a long time. Something is finally here, and this is just the first of more to come. This is the first Hublot Masterpiece collection (Ref. MP-01), and will be a range of higher-end Hublot timepieces with in-house movements that will be positione [...]
Have you been to the Gstaad Palace? No? Well, then I am sorry to say that you probably dont know about GreenGo the popular club that is now celebrating its 40th anniversary. I dont think it has changed since it was created. According to their site (and images), the club remains in its 1970s era fittings. Looks like what would happen [...]
The first thing that came to mind when I first saw this image in an e-mail from Hublot was wait, what? I didnt get it. What was this? At first I thought the image of Bernie Ecclestone was some type of painting. I?am not familiar with his face, but I do know of his work as the guy who runs Formula 1 racing. The British Billionaires face was distorted with a painful [...]
In 1994 a terrible accident during an F1 race in Italy caused Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna to die. I believe that he was the last person to die during a Formula 1 race, and has been a testament to the needs of caution and safety in the work of super-fast racing circuits. Since his death, lots of new safety regulations and technology have been implemented to make [...]
Look more closely, the two watches in this article are different. Though seriously while they are cool looking -youd think that Hublot might have wanted to make them look just a tad bit more different. The major difference of course is the case. One is in a Big Bang case, and the other is in a King Power case though youll agree tha [...]
This very cool watch from Hublot has a movement made by Mathias Buttets department. Buttet runs the Hublot Confrerie Horlogere (formerly of BNB Concept) I discussed this more here. The gorgeous movement is incredibly traditional in style compared to the forward looking designs of Hublot watches. The piece is called the Big Bang Minute Repeater [...]
The myth of Jean-Claude Biver is as much a man, as the man himself. While many people wouldnt necessarily consider the CEO of a watch brand a celebrity or an icon; to watch lovers and people working in the industry, few people have the level of respect and close to attention that Mr. Biver enjoys. And enjoy it he does. The prize for the mans calculated efforts is a sen [...]
Over at Haute Living I wrote about this interesting new all black Hublot watch now with an in-house made Tourbillon movement (yay for Hublot adopting much of BNB Concept). Pretty interesting and about $160,000.See my Hublot King Power Tourbillon Manufacture watch article at Haute Lving here. [phpbay]hublot, num, 14324, [/phpbay] [...]
How do you create a classic? The statement in and of itself shouldnt make sense as classic things develop over long periods of time. Such instant classics are merely good designs that appeal to many people. What I am talking about is literally making a bona fide classic in the time it takes most people to simply develop a product. I c [...]
This pretty awesome collection is going to make a lot of Depeche Mode fans angry. Not because they are bad homages to the band, but because there will only be one set of them made, which will be auctioned off for charity. Each of the 12 piece unique watches will be auctioned off separately (February 8 24, 2010 [...]
Jean-Claude Biver speaks like a proud father discussing his baby Hublot. He remarks on how the brand has acquired more space, and is only getting more in the future. Biver isnt on everyones I love this guy list, but he is a really good? watch company head, and he gets how to run a European luxury watch company. If LVMH is smart, th [...]
Hublot is a brand that I respect a great deal. Every brand loves to state that they are forward-thinking and revolutionary and innovative and care about society and make the best watches But Hublot is a brand that is doing a tremendous job with all of the above. And its this initiative that has set them apart from so m [...]
Here in San Francisco, you see an interesting trend since the dot-com-boom of the late 1990s. You have companies that are started, only to be sold. The whole intent of the company is to paint itself in flattering colors only to attract a large buyer. This odd corporate mating ritual reverses the traditional MA (merger and acquisition) roles, and has alpha companies sit around and wait for attractive young companies to stroll by present [...]
