Swiss luxury watchmaker is well known for its finesse in combining various materials into fine watch making, founded in 1980 the brand is the first luxury watch brand to combine gold and natural rubber.
By pioneering the combination of natural materials, which were never previously found together, Hublot known to become a modern-day alchemist marrying the past and the future, tradition and innovation. A creative concept that dubbed as the "Art of Fusion" by the brand started in 2004, when Jean-Claude Biver took over the control of the brand and launched the Big Bang Gold Ceramic, the first model in the Big Bang collection. The watch has recognizable lines featuring sharp angles, six screws arranged around the case, and bezel lugs on each side, that symbolize the concept of fusion. Ten years later it became the brand's signature timepiece and a veritable watch-making icon.
Since then, Hublot has launched six collections – Big Bang, Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang, Manufacture Piece, Techframe and King Power – housing movements ranging from the most pared-back to the most complicated (chronograph, tourbillon, cathedral minute repeater, GMT, etc.). These collections have enabled Hublot to continue its philosophy of combining materials such as King Gold (an exclusive Hublot gold containing 5% platinum), Hublonium (a brand new alloy of aluminum and magnesium), sapphire, gold crystal, colored ceramic, carbon fiber, tungsten, titanium, gold, platinum, rubber, precious stones, linen, embroidery, leather and texalium, among others.
