Every Hublot Release From LVMH Watch Week 2025

You can accuse Hublot of many things, but boring is simply not one of them. Gaudy? Hmm, sometimes. Ostentatious? Perhaps. Polarising? Indeed. But boring? Non, mon chéri. Much of the discourse around Hublot focuses on its bold, idiosyncratic design language, often to the point that the Swiss manufacture’s innovations in the material (it has a dedicated Metallurgy & Materials laboratory, after all) and calibre spaces go relatively unnoticed. However, it would be remiss not to take note of Hublot’s technical […]

Be There & Be Square; The Best Square & Rectangular Watches For Men

John Deckard — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 02:47:54 +0000

Square watches have come back (a)round, with the silhouette simultaneously contemporary and timeless. Both square and rectangular watches exude a rakish sensibility befitting of a gentleman while remaining definitively on-trend. However, it’s not all Cartier Tanks and Jaeger-LeCoultre Reversos. An increasing number of watch manufacturers are squaring up, creating four-edged cases for those who are more ‘baller’ and less classic – just look at the Hublot Square Bang Unico and the Hermes H08. The best rectangular and square watches for […]

The Best High-End Luxury Watch Brands Of All Time

Theo Rosen — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 06:05:18 +0000

When it comes to the best luxury watch brands, there are a few key players that immediately spring to mind — Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, and Audemars Piguet among them. However, the best luxury watch brands go beyond the oft-mentioned names, including heritage stalwarts like A. Lange & Söhne, Blancpain, Breguet, and Vacheron Constantin as well as lesser known gems like Arnold & Son, Greubel Forsey, and Glashütte Original. While you can find excellent—and elegant!—watches at every price point (some […]

What would you do for a grail watch? Tennis legend Novak Djokovic has proven that he’d give the shirt off his back for one. The 24-time Grand Slam champion has been a part of the Hublot family since 2021 when he was appointed as a global ambassador, with the Swiss manufacture’s timepieces an omnipresent force on the Serbian player’s wrist since then.

The Hublot Classic Fusion Essential Grey Is Possibly The Most Un-Hublot Hublot

Henry Blake — Fri, 05 Jul 2024 02:25:35 +0000

Is a Hublot still a Hublot if it doesn’t shout? The Swiss manufacture has released the latest edition of its ‘Essential Grey’ series with the Hublot Classic Fusion Essential Grey. Now in its third year, the annual release sees one of the brand’s key models suffused in the neutral hue, with previous incarnations taking on the Big Bang Unico and Spirit of Big Bang. While those releases saw the monochromatic tones juxtaposed against the intricate skeletonisation of the movements within. […]

Hublot and Daniel Arsham are going back to the future with their latest collaboration. The Swiss manufacture and the New York-based contemporary artist have fused the former’s technical finesse with the latter’s singular artistic vision to create the Hublot Arsham Pocket Watch. Arsham is known for transforming quotidian objects into future relics — intentionally and artfully aged everyday items, that appear as if they were found on an archeological dig site. Approaching an obsolete object with a futuristic mindset, the […]

Daniel Arsham Carves An Icy Timepice Into The Swiss Mountainside For Hublot

AR Staff — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 05:04:36 +0000

Swiss watchmaker Hublot has enlisted American contemporary artist Daniel Arsham as its latest ambassador. The appointment is an apt one, with Arsham having frequently explored the concept of time throughout his oeuvre, particularly through his Connecting Time series and his Hourglass sculptures. To celebrate the unity of timepieces with the concept of time, Hublot and Daniel Arsham have presented a larger-than-life timepiece; a 20-metre sundial in the Schwarzee snowscape, a site backdropped by the Matterhorn peak. Titled ‘Light & Time’, […]
