Hublot - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

I had the opportunity to acquire this watch in 2010. It was named "fusion of materials". Indeed, these materials are: ceramic, carbon fiber, steel and rubber which characterizes this watch. It is recognizable from very far away even for those who know little about watchmaking. It is very pleasant to wear despite its large size. The complications that characterize this watch are the date and the chrono. I like to look at it and it has a timeless look. I am won over!

It is impossible to wear a HUBLOT without a little pang in the heart: apart from as a football player or to get noticed, the HUBLOT brand is often a reason for mockery. That was my opinion before falling in love with this watch when I was a teenager and which was for me a symbol of chic sport style with the most beautiful effect: a quartz chronograph with a 36mm format and especially this natural rubber strap that smelled of vanilla. This watch is perfect for small wrists and it has nothing pretentious but remains sporty and chic with both a folding clasp and a perfect shape. It is MDM GENEVE on its dial, that is to say the 1st version of HUBLOT before becoming the brand that we know. Steel with a smooth bezel marked in black, its 3 counter with a simple date on a white disc at 6 o'clock, ultra light it is forgotten on the wrist. Do not have everyone's watch and remain discreet however with a HUBLOT

So it never stops... The more you have, the more you want! After finding a good excuse to acquire a new watch, I started to feel around me. As often, I did not have a precise idea in mind. A friend and great collector was parting with several models at the same time. So I decided to take a look at what he was offering. Even before seeing the watch in question, he was "convinced" that I would like this model, despite my mixed opinion on the Hublot brand. Like many others, it is true that I perceive this brand as "look at me", (too?) young, messy, and with models often too inspired by other brands. But, I let myself be tempted by putting it on my wrist, and I must say that the result was very convincing indeed. First of all, I must emphasize the quality of the integrated bracelet and its folding clasp. A big fan of this type of bracelet (and I didn't own one until now), I immediately liked the look. Then, the combination of the bronze dial and bezel, with the gold indexes and hands, really give a spectacular look on the wrist. The very thin titanium case and the integrated bracelet give this watch great comfort. It is probably the most pleasant watch to wear in my collection (after Rolex). Add to that, a limited edition of 100 pieces for the Sultanate of Oman (one more!) and a second khaki rubber strap, and the deal was in the bag! In short, this Hublot Classic Fusion Golden Jubilee perfectly fulfills its role: sporty, modern, light and pleasant to wear. It will probably not be one of the most worn in my collection, but I think I will always find the right opportunity to do so, with pleasure, and that is above all what I am looking for. So, in two words, mission accomplished!
