About Hublot
Hublot made its name 30 years ago when it became the first Swiss watch luxury brand to fuse precious metals with functional rubber, sparking a revolution for material innovation and aesthetics. In 2004, Mr. Jean-Claude Biver gave Hublot a great new boost and revolutionized watchmaking with the creation of the “Big Bang”, which marked the start of the spectacular success of the brand.
In just five years Hublot has become one of the most sought-out high-end watch brands with some of its timepieces making watch history, such as the One Million Dollar Big Bang, All Black Big Bang and Mag Bang watches.
In 2008 Hublot was bought by the LVMH group with Jean-Claude Biver as CEO and leading the company’s guiding principle of “Fusion,” which combines unusual materials such as ceramic, tantalum, magnesium and titanium with a modern version of Hublot’s rubber strap.
