Hublot trivia
| In-house developed movement | Hublot started developing and manufacturing its own movements in 2010. Until then, Swiss watches had adopted the standard ETA movement. The first in-house movement, Unico, was born, taking four years from conception to completion. Unico is made up of 330 parts, created by a combination of handwork by skilled craftsmen and cutting-edge high-tech technology, and boasts a power reserve of up to 72 hours and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, making it an unrivaled high-precision movement. It has no specifications. |

| Collaboration with celebrities | He has particularly strong ties to the sports industry, serving as the official timekeeper for F1 and the FIFA World Cup. We have released collaboration models with numerous athletes, including the ``Big Bang Unico Usain Bolt'' inspired by Usain Bolt and the ``Big Bang Maradona'' series of soccer legend Diego Maradona. In addition to sports, the limited edition model created with artist Takashi Murakami and designer Yohji Yamamoto has become a hot topic. |
| Development of various cases | As a manufacturer brand, we are focusing not only on movement development, but also on case material development. In the same year that Unico was released, 18K King Gold, which was specially formulated with platinum and was redder than conventional 18K, was released, and the following year, 18K Magic Gold, which was harder and more scratch resistant, was released. In 2016, we developed colored sapphire from the extremely transparent sapphire crystal material, and in 2018 we succeeded in developing a high-tech ceramic based on zirconium that cannot be scratched by anything other than diamonds. |
| marketing genius | After becoming CEO in 2004, Jean-Claude Biver increased sales tenfold in four years. In the 1980s, he acquired Blancpain, which was suffering from the quartz shock, and revived it by daring to bring the artistry of mechanical watches to the fore. After that, he was in charge of Omega at the Swatch Group, and through an ambassador strategy that used F1 champion Michael Schumacher and supermodel Cindy Crawford, he made it a popular brand. He moved from Omega, a large company, to Hublot, a small-to-medium maker at the time, and brought new life to the watch world with revolutionary ideas such as the Big Bang and all-black watches. |
Hublot's popularity
Has Hublot's popularity calmed down?
Founded in 1980 by Carlo Crocco, a member of the founding family of the Italian watch and jewelry group Binda, Hublot is extremely popular with many hit models such as the Big Bang, King Power, Aeroban, and Classic Fusion. It's a brand.
In addition, since it is worn by professional athletes and many celebrities, it has a strong impression of being a "successful person's watch", and since its release, it has attracted explosive attention and has become as popular as Rolex and Omega. Ta.
However, some people are saying that Hublot's popularity has been declining recently, as the big-hot boom led by Panerai has calmed down. In fact, with the exception of some models, the prices of some Hublot watches are declining, but what do you think?
In conclusion, it can be said that ``although the explosive popularity has subsided compared to what it was at one time, it still has continued popularity and asset value.''
The reasons for this are: (1) watches that use innovative designs and materials that cannot be found anywhere else; (2) prices tend to be high in the second-hand market as popularity is reflected in prices; and (3) high prices cultivated under the LVMH (Louis Vuitton) group. Marketing power and outstanding status/scarcity
The above points can be mentioned.
It can be said that Hublot continues to enjoy continued popularity.
Among them, the classics Big Bang and Classic Fusion continue to be popular and have high resale values, so why not take this opportunity to consider them?
