“Hublot

Loves Football and what an exciting year for us with this 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™!

MANUFACTURE

HUBLOT MANUFACTURE THE ART OF FUSION

The Hublot Manufacture achieves a perfect blend of modernity and the art of traditional watchmaking. Though it produces traditional mechanical movements using principles dating back over 300 years, Hublot uses the latest technologies, materials and processes to create unique timepieces. In 2015, in order to keep pace with increasing demand and maintain the vertical growth of its production, Hublot inaugurated its second buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just 6 years after opening its plant in 2009. This doubled the surface area of the production centre in Nyon, to reach 14â&#x20AC;&#x2122;000 sqm.

BIG BANG UNICO 42MM The Big Bang Unico watch with a Unico manufacture movement - an undeniable success - has now been redesigned on a smaller scale to fit a 42mm. case, making this watch the perfect choice for gentlemen to downsize and for ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wrists. Just like its big brother, it keeps its double clutch mechanism and its column wheel can still be seen from the dial side. But, thanks to the removal of the platform escapement and the introduction of a new, flatter, self-winding system, it is 1.3 mm thinner.

BIG BANG UNICO SAPPHIRE GALAXY The Big Bang Unico Sapphire Galaxy evokes the Milky Way with its constellation of stars and the invisible material that makes up the universe, its design has been inspired by the billions of stars found in the solar system. Symbolising the different nuances of stars; young blue stars emitting hot radiation and older red stars that emit cold radiation, the bezel of the timepiece has been set with 48 baguette cut precious stones. Since 2016, Hublot has been pushing the boundaries in watchmaking by using sapphire crystal, which is a very demanding material to work with. The colours of the galaxy can now be worn on the wrist!

MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis Titanium. In-house manual-winding bi-axis tourbillon with skeletonized movement and 5-day power reserve. Titanium case. Limited edition of 50 pieces.

BIG BANG SAPPHIRE TOURBILLON Hublot is already a pioneer when it comes to colouring and shaping of its sapphires cases. This year the brand is taking the mastery of sapphire crystal, an ultra-resistant material which is difficult to machine, to the next level. The Hublot in-house skeleton tourbillon movement with 5 days of power reserve is laid bare, held by a strip cut in sapphire. The new Big Bang Sapphire Tourbillon is completely transparent, including the case, dial, strap and tourbillon movement. The crystalline connections disappear to reveal the skeleton mechanics of the tourbillon, for which the cage is held in place by a strip cut from sapphire.

BIG BANG UNICO RED MAGIC By creating a new material – the first vibrantly red coloured ceramic – Hublot has once again used its limitless imagination to achieve a world’s first. Exclusively designed and produced in-house, in the Hublot Research & Development (R&D) department, this invention has been patented. A triple tour de force, the coloured ceramic invented by Hublot is innovative both in terms of the material itself, and the manufacturing process. In addition to the vibrant colour it is also harder than conventional ceramics. For this first coloured ceramic, Hublot has chosen a vivid red, which symbolises power, passion and glory. The Big Bang Unico Red Magic is undoubtedly an ultra-resilient ceramic watch full of fire.

BIG BANG MECA-10 CERAMIC BLUE Featuring a watch movement with a 10-day power reserve and an iconic indigo blue ceramic case, the new Big Bang Meca-10 Ceramic Blue combines cutting edge mechanics and ultra-resistant material. With unusual architecture designed based around a construction set and a stylised skeleton revealing the originality of a cogwheel power reserve indicatorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the new Big Bang Meca-10 Blue Ceramic reflects the factoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical and aesthetic boldness.

CLASSIC FUSION CERAMIC INTEGRATED BRACELET A collection of timeless must-have pieces with the Hublot insignia, the Classic Fusion now incorporates a black ceramic bracelet. The bracelet plays a major role in the look of a watch and is an essential design element, having perfect integration into the case and the high-tech materials used in the manufacture. Strong but lightweight black ceramic is used to create the case and bracelet in a unique fusion of technology and style that remains the secret of Hublot and its pioneering spirit.

TECHFRAME FERRARI TOURBILLON CHRONOGRAPH Techframe, the Hublot watch designed with Ferrari to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Prancing Horse, has recieved an iF DESIGN AWARD 2018. Among the most prestigious and largest design competitions in the world, this prize was conferred by a jury of 63 independent international experts reunited in Hamburg. Since 1953, designers, manufacturers and users have looked to iF as a seal of excellence, a testimony of quality, and a challenge to the competition. For users, it is a symbol of trust. A global recognized trademark for excellence in design.

BIG BANG MP-11 Hublot, the alchemist of high tech materials, presents its new Big Bang MP-11 shaped into a case inspired by a race engine. This model exists in 3D carbon and in sapphire. Equipped with 7 series-coupled barrels providing 2 weeks of autonomy, this mechanical architecture reveals the in-line cylinders within an incredible 3D case.

The logo is visible on the dial and the crystal case back that opens onto the automatic movement. The strap, which is also blue, is finished with yellow double stitching. A little detail takes on great significance: when the date aperture displays the twelfth day of the month, the number is not white on a black base like the other 30; it is yellow. This is a nod to the club’s “12th player”: its fans! A very strong symbol.

CHARITY: WATER / DEPECHE MODE Joining forces for the third time, Hublot and legendary band Depeche Mode have managed to raise the sum of $1.7 million for charity: water, an organisation that brings drinking water to developing countries. Funds will bring clean water to more than 50’000 people. The money was raised over two years from the proceeds of two different models: first, the Big Bang Depeche Mode released as a limited edition of 250 pieces in 2017, then the collection of unique Big Bang Unico Depeche Mode “The Singles” Limited Edition watches in 2018.

NEW YORK DIGITAL BOUTIQUE Hublot is aware that the key asset of an excellent customer relationship is based on trust, availability, and flexibility, and has thus innovatively imagined a â&#x20AC;&#x153;virtualâ&#x20AC;? digital boutique that perfectly complements the role and presence of its physical boutiques around the world. By remotely offering its customers 3D-facilitated access to its products, knowledge, and knowhow, Hublot is successfully creating a new bespoke customer service, and preserving the essential denominator of any relationship, that is to say the human connection. A new customer experience that is beginning in the United States New York Boutique in 2018 before being rolled out across the entire world.

BASELWORLD HUBLOT FAIR Hublot was present at the key watchmaking moment of the year in Switzerland, at the Baselfair in March. A very important rendez-vous for Hublot that allowed the brand to present numerous great novelties.
