hublot 1 million $ bb replica

The story of Jean-Claude Biver and how he has shaken up one sleepy Swiss watch company after another is a great one, but today I’m only going to focus a small part of it, and that will be how he revolutionized Hublot, a tiny company, with his Big Bang watch. Everyone who has met Mr Biver knows that he is a character who is far larger than life. So after leaving the Swatch Group where he had done various jobs including overhauling the Omega brand,? Mr Biver seemed to have gone to ground. When he emerged it was as a part-owner and manager of Hublot.Now Hublot was a relatively new Swiss watch producer. It was only formed in 1980. But it was one that had been incredibly creative and had innovated from the very beginning when Carlo Crocco , its founder, introduced rubber straps on expensive gold watches. The idea seemed mad to most people in the industry but it soon picked up a dedicated following. For one thing, people were attracted by the fact that the rubber didn’t cause allergic reactions to some people who struggle with traditional watch straps and materials. It is also not quite clear why, but the Spanish royal family soon took a liking to the early Hublot watches. That started a craze in Spain where the watch has been popular ever since.In 2004 when Mr Biver took charge of Hublot he thought that its line up had become a bit stale and he wanted to make a huge impression while still keeping with Hublot’s tradition of using innovation. His answer was the Big Bang, which took unusual materials such as gold and ceramic and fused them together with a bang. All sorts of strange materials are used. While titanium watches have become quite popular in recent years,Hublot takes things 10 steps further by combining materials such as Kevlar, red gold, magnesium, titanium and carbon fibre. Mr Biver describes it as a fusion of traditional Swiss Watch making with the Twenty-first century.These are big and bold watches that are designed to stand out on the arm, not to blend in. Hublot has also crafted a large number of special editions such as the million dollar watch which is covered in diamonds, or a bright red valentines day Big Bang (which would match nicely, I suppose with a pair of red earrings).Hublot has continued to expand and to innovate on the Big Bang. It recently opened in big new factory and has started making and designing its own mechanical movements, a move which sets it apart from quite a large number of other Swiss Watch companies that simply build the case and buy a movement to go in it.Some of those who watch the industry closely worry about whether Hublot is too focused on a single watch, even though it comes in many variations, but for now it is doing well. Mr Biver is a consummate marketing expert and keeps finding new ways to innovate and promote his watches. Among his recent moves were to sponsor Manchester United football club and to get involved in the Americas Cup yacht race. The man whom the Economist magazine called a “salesman of the irrational” seems likely to keep coming up with ideas and designs that should keep Hublot a trend-setting Swiss watch producer for years to come.A bright red watch to match the season

Hublot was a major player in the “watch size revolution” of the last decade that helped balloon watch case diameters. The famous Big Bang debuted at 44mm wide and was considered quite large when it was first seen. 44mm is still considered big, but not as big. There have been larger Big Bang watches, but the standard 44mm still feels good. Now all of a sudden Hublot releases a 38mm wide version of the Big Bang, in gold, and sans the signature chronograph feature.This is the size of most women’s Hublot Big Bang models, but this version in 18k rose gold with a ceramic bezel looks more like the brand’s Classic Fusion collection rather than a women’s model. The 38mm size might be for much of Asia where men prefer smaller watches, or might be positioned as a uni*** watch. The dial is carbon fiber, and seems to fit in a small size segment than the Classic Fusion that comes in 40mm and 44mm wide variants. Inside the Big Bang 38mm is an Hublot HUB UNICO 1110 automatic movement – which might be Hublot made (given the UNICO name). There ought to be a few other versions aside from the pictured model – as well as a version with diamonds on the bezel and dial).
