Hublot Watches

Another big name in the Swiss luxury watchmaking world is Hublot. Hublot watches was founded by an Italian man named Carlo Crocco in 1980. Before Crocco founded Hublot, he was with Binda Group in Italy but left so that he could start his dreams of his very own watch company. Crocco actually created the very first natural rubber strap ever. Did he create it overnight? Absolutely not. Making the rubber strap took about three years of research in itself.

The innovation and process behind manufacturing the watches is something that Hublot takes very seriously. Respecting the beauty and art of watchmaking, Hublot has their own in-house movements, record power reserves and red ceramic, which is something they got patented to make bright-colored ceramics. They start their watchmaking process by sketching out an idea of what they want to build and create. It’s drawn out detail by detail so that the aesthetics of Hublot watches are seen and known. After they move on to the movement of the watch, depending on the concept that it was originally thought from. Lastly, they move on to create the prototype version. It’s an actual working watch at that point, but it’s very early in the stages of it.

With more than 80 boutiques across the world, it was not until 2007 when Hublot opened their first mono-brand store in Paris, France. You can find Hublot watches for sale at their flagship store in London. However, if you are not in London you can find a great selection of Hublot watches for women and men at WatchShopping.com! 

Luxury goods group LVMH bought Hublot out from Crocco in 2008. The following year, Hublot debuted their new method of finding out if a [Hublot] watch was fake or not. They debuted their smart card method at BaselWorld.
