Hublot The Maestro of Fusion A Journey Through Time

Let's journey into the captivating universe of a watchmaking brand that has truly made its mark on the industry: Hublot. With an unwavering commitment to innovation, daring design, and a fusion of tradition with the future, Hublot is a name synonymous with the avant garde in horology. Hublot's story is a chronicle of audacity, vision, and artistry, woven together to create the dynamic and distinctive brand we know and love today.

In 1980, Italian watch enthusiast Carlo Crocco ventured away from his family's business, Binda Group, a company steeped in the traditional manufacture of timepieces. Armed with a bold vision for a new kind of luxury watch, he launched MDM Genève and the Hublot brand (Hublot being French for 'porthole'). This was a brand designed to march to its own beat and it did so with a resounding boom.



Hublot's first watch, fittingly named the "Hublot", was a watershed moment in luxury watchmaking. It wasn't just about the design an elegant combination of a gold watch with a natural rubber strap it was about the audacity of the idea. At a time when luxury watches were conventionally made with leather or metal bracelets, Hublot took the path less trodden. They invested three years of research into developing the most perfect, comfortable and durable rubber strap the watch world had ever seen.

It was a risk. A big one. The industry and consumers might have rejected this break from tradition, but they didn't. Instead, they embraced Hublot's vision, and the world of luxury watchmaking was never the same again. The fusion of precious metal with rubber became a signature Hublot feature, a statement of the brand's fearless creativity and its commitment to innovative materials and technology.

As the years passed, Hublot continued to shake up the watch world. In 2004, when industry maverick Jean Claude Biver, formerly of Omega and Blancpain, took the Helm as CEO, the brand was propelled further into uncharted territories. Biver is a force to be reckoned with, a man with a deep love for watchmaking, an uncanny knack for understanding the pulse of the industry, and a daring spirit that matched the brand's. Under his leadership, Hublot soared to new heights.



In 2005, the Big Bang chronograph was born, a watch that truly lived up to its name. This watch exploded onto the scene, winning multiple awards and catapulting Hublot into the stratosphere of luxury watchmaking. The Big Bang was not just a watch; it was a symbol of Hublot's unstoppable drive, of its ability to create, to innovate, to surprise. It had a design that was complex yet harmonious, a case construction that showcased Hublot's technical prowess, and an aesthetic that was unabashedly bold.

Then came another game changing moment for Hublot: the introduction of the "Art of Fusion" philosophy. The Art of Fusion is not just a marketing slogan; it's the lifeblood of Hublot. It speaks to the brand's commitment to blending traditional watchmaking with innovative materials, techniques and ideas. Hublot began experimenting with unusual materials, like Magic Gold, the world's only scratch resistant gold, and vibrant colored ceramics.

From its founding days to its daring exploits in the world of materials and design, Hublot's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. With each passing year, with each new collection, Hublot redefines what is possible, pushing the boundaries of tradition, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

It's an elegant fusion of modern chic and timeless class, of contemporary materials and classic watchmaking. With its simpler, streamlined design, the Classic Fusion is the quieter, more subtle sibling in the Hublot family.
