Hublot Bracelets

Swiss

Born into the family behind the Binda Group watchmaking company, Italian watchmaker Carlo Crocco (b. 1944) decided to leave the dynasty to create his own company called MDM Genève in 1976. He spent the next few years developing his bold debut product: the Hublot watch.

Named for the French word for “porthole,” the Hublot, which debuted at the 1980 Baselworld watch and jewelry trade show, did indeed look like a porthole. What made the watch stand out, however, was its radical “fusion” approach to design — that is, the combination of a complex gold case with a band made from rubber. At the time, most high-end watches featured wristbands crafted from luxury materials, so the humble rubber material was a radical shift from fashion trends.

The rubber wristband wasn’t just made from any old rubber. Crocco reportedly spent $1 million developing the material to create the perfect blend of durability and style. The result was a watch that felt sportier than its competition but had all the technical makings of a luxury timepiece. Crocco’s risk paid off, with A-list clients from Prince Albert of Monaco to Jay-Z strapping Hublots to their wrists (the latter collaborated with the brand to produce two watches in 2013).

In 2004, watchmaker Jean-Claude Biver became CEO of the company, pushing the brand into the 21st century, including through major collaborations with athletes like sprinter Usain Bolt and artists like Shepard Fairey.

In 2005, Hublot launched the Big Bang watch, a fresh statement on the brand’s inventive mixing of tradition and technology with options ranging from gold and a tire-tread-like rubber to a sapphire crystal casing. Other models include the Classic Fusion in 2008, which recalls the 1980s design, and the Manufacture Pieces (MP) collection, which features complex movements. The luxury Swiss watch company continues to innovate, all the while staying true to its “art of fusion” roots.

Questions About Hublot Bracelets

Why is Hublot so expensive?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
Hublot is so expensive for a few reasons. First, the Swiss luxury watchmaker uses premium materials, some of which are produced by the company itself, adding to costs. Hublot also handcrafts timepieces through a painstaking process, so its labor costs are high. Plus, Hublot has been cited as only manufacturing around 50,000 watches per year, which makes supply low relative to demand. Shop a collection of Hublot watches on 1stDibs.
What does Hublot stand for?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024
Hublot doesn't stand for anything. Rather than being an acronym for something, Hublot is the French word for a porthole or small round window on a ship. The brand name refers to the iconic circular bezel found on early timepieces produced by the Swiss watchmaker. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Hublot watches.

Is Hublot more expensive than Rolex?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
No, Hublot is not always more expensive than Rolex. Both luxury Swiss watchmakers offer a wide range of models, including more accessibly priced entry-level models as well as more aspirationally priced high-end and limited edition timepieces. When shopping for a watch, you should think about what you’re looking for in this type of accessory. You may wish to consider the power reserve, materials, accuracy, craftsmanship, where it was manufactured and more. If it’s your first watch, you may wish to consider whether or not you’d prefer a pre-owned model. Buying a new, never-worn watch enables you to build a history with it that isn’t shared by anyone else, but the greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned watch is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued.
