Round-UpExploring The Avant-Garde Vision Of Hublot

The one watchmaker that has completely dominated the watch world when it comes to material innovation and technical progression is Hublot. With ‘The art of fusion’ concept being the philosophy of the luxury Swiss watch brand, Hublot has been carrying the baton for promoting creativity and constant innovation. Despite being an infant among centuries-old stalwarts, Hublot has developed into a pioneering force in the watchmaking industry. When asked about the challenges the brand encounters during their endeavours towards constant innovation, Hublot’s CEO Ricardo Guadalupe had shared: “It’s always a challenge, of course. It’s also a risk when you create new movements or materials. In a way, for instance, the Unico Sapphire has been a risk we have taken to industrialise this material. I would say that when you have a strong product, it’s the most important thing for the brand.” Appreciating the same, The Watch Guide presents Hublot’s smorgasbord of innovations through which the brand has harnessed its strengths to the fullest.
