Hublot: A New Name in Swiss Watch Making

A brief history of Hublot watches and some of the popular models including the Big Bang Collection.

A Brief History of Hublot

Ever since Carlo Crocco developed the Hublot gold watch in 1980, the design house of Hublot never turned back. The gold Hublot was the first ever watch that used natural black rubber bracelet in a luxury timepiece. It became an inspiration for watchmakers all over the world.

Carlo Crocco grew up in a watch making family and he designed his first watch in 1976. He acquired his sense of beauty and style as a child. He decided to set up his own watch making company, the MDM Geneva, in 1980 with the aim of transcending trends with timeless elegance and sporting designs that will be sought after worldwide. His design was inspired by the ship's porthole. Tiny titanium screws were used to mark the hours, secure the lunette, and meet the demands of form and functionality.

During the mid-90's, the interest in using rubber was recaptured. This proves once again that Hublot has the right philosophy in thinking that rubber isn't just about fashion, it is a lifestyle. Three years of research was needed to produce the Hublot bracelet that maximized the properties of rubber. The material has the ability to regenerate after being exposed to daily contact with the skin. People who bought a Hublot watch enjoyed the best comfort. The rubber bracelet is light, comfortable, and it instantly adapts to the skin.

Popular Hublot Models

Classic
Immediately after the Hublot brand was launched, the classic line was introduced. This series became a classic in Swiss Horology because it seeks the highest aesthetic form. The Hublot Classic line helped form the core identity of the brand with its gold and rubber strap.

Right now, it is easy to identify the classic line just by looking at its design. The Hublot classic models have four sizes that feature self-winding mechanical movements. The company launched its new Classic models in 2005 with special focus on comfort and functionality.

Big Bang Collection
Hublot Big Bang watches are a collector's favorite. Some of the most notable timepieces of this collection include the Big Bang 41mm, the Big Bang 44mm, the Bigger Bang 44mm, and the Big Bang King.

The Big Bang 41mm is a chronograph design that combines luxurious appeal with cutting-edge technology. The main difference between the Big Bang 41mm and the 44mm is merely its size and the second counter of the dial.

Meanwhile, the Bigger Big Bang is a masterpiece in watch making craftsmanship. It features the "Tourbillon Column-Wheel Chronograph". The chronograph mechanism is visible for the first time via the 12 o'clock dial. With this advanced technological innovation, users are able to admire each component that has been integrated into the timepiece.

Lastly is the Big Bang King. This 2007 novelty is 48mm in diameter but it is made of ideal proportions. It can easily be adjusted to various wrist sizes. Its luminous and light color is easy on the eyes and is undeniably beautiful. Although its design makes it known that it is a scuba diving watch, this timepiece is also suitable for different kinds of activities. Its fusion of high quality materials makes it the perfect watch indoors, outdoors, underwater, and above-water.
