    K N O W - H O WAnchored in the present and always evolving, at the forefront of new advances in technology and fundamental research into new materials, Hublot remains committed to traditional expertise, creating timepieces which bear the mark of the most talented master watchmakers. In this way, the brand represents the Art of Fusion between watchmaking culture and cutting-edge technical developments, between the past and the future... as, in the words of Hublot's Chairman Jean-Claude Biver and Hublots CEO Ricardo Guadalupe, "we are not breaking with the past, on the contrary, we are paying homage to it by

    connecting it to the future".

  • E X PA N D I N G I N N O VAT I O NHUBLOT OPENS SECOND MANUFACTURING BUILDING

    On September 29th, just 6 years after opening its Manufacture in 2009, Hublot has inaugurated its 2nd manufacture building. 300 guests from around the world, including brand ambassadors Bar Refaeli, Lapo Elkann and Pel, made the trip to celebrate this milestone in the brand history.

    This extension is highly symbolic for the brand - it witnesses its expansion and its success. It added 8,000sqm of surface where Hublot will install 100 workstations over the next 5 years in order to keep pace with increasing demand and to maintain the vertical growth of its production.

  • BIG BANG UNICO FULL MAGIC GOLD - 10 -

  • M A G I C G O L DCreated in 2011 by Hublot and EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), made in the foundery of the Manufacture - Magic Gold - is the hardest gold: it can only be successfully machined using diamond. Its hardness of almost 1000 Vickers eliminates the traditional weak point of gold and its alloys, which are normally easily scratched. The expert fusion of ceramic and liquid gold, 18K Magic Gold must, like all other 18K alloys, be composed of 750ppm pure gold.

    To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Big Bang collection, Hublot unveiled a Full Magic Gold Big Bang Unico.

  • U N I C O C H R O N O G R A P H M O V E M E N TDeveloped in less than 4 years, the Unico movement is the fruit of intensive research & development within Hublots own manufacture. 330 individually hand-assembled components make up this distinguished movement. With a construction that allows the addition of supplementary functions, the Unico 100% in-house movement can be fitted with other complications and modules such as the Flyback Chronograph, GMT or the Bi-Retrograde Chronograph.
