Any Hublotlovers?

[steveclocks]

Don't have one yet, but what do you guys think of Hublot?
Do you own one in your watchcollection? Do post some pics guys!

[FeelingTheBlues]

They're not my favorite watches but some models do look rather nice. However, I do not own one and they're not the first ones on my list.

They are one of my least favorite brands.

[steveclocks]

I can't make up my mind about Hublot, some of their models look quiet nice and now they have their own caliber aswell, which is a +
please do give your comment positive or negative. All welcome

I am thinking of big bang there are very nice

[WatchTimes]

I used to have the Bullet Bang, nice watches!

I had no problems but like most other watches I got bored and flipped it.

I think they are great looking watches. They get absolutely no love on this site. The mixture of materials that they use and are able to fuse them together is rather appealing to me. I think most people who do not like them have never seen or help one in person. Just about all the pictures I have seen on the internet do them no justice. I am an F1 and Ferrari fan as well and hublot lining up with these 2 brands interests me. I think of Ferrari as cutting edge as far as the materials and technology they use to build their cars and I think hublot is a great fit for Ferrari so it will be interesting to see what they come out with. I just purchased a big bang and the fit and feel of them on the wrist is amazing. I've personally emailed hublot and gotten a response within minutes. Hublot is a brand that has gotten my attention, i like the direction they are going and I like the fact that the watch flies under the radar yet you do not see tons of them. just my 2 cents of course.

I like the Big Bang Black Magic Evolution

Not into Hublot because I find their watches way too pricey - especially the ones with outsourced movements. No way am I spending 10k+ on what is probably an ETA. I also find the styling too sporty - not very versatile.

I suppose, if I had money pouring out of my ears, I'd probably get one just to see what all the fuss is about. For now though, you just have to compare their watches to what else is available elsewhere at those prices. AP, Breguet, Vacheron, Glashutte, JLC, etc...have watches in that price range.

very expensive for what they are, not top of my shopping list

[kilyung]

I wouldn't mind trying the Magic Gold Ferrarri.

[steveclocks]

it seem to be love or hate with hublot! I can't really say I'm against it, I do find some of their watches quiet nice

yeah..this one is pretty cool with the UNICO movment...
otherwise...its a bit pricey..

[craniotes]

I can't say that I'm a fan. Their styling is derivative and in an attempt to compensate for this fact, they go way over the top with the result being almost a parody of a Royal Oak.

Honestly, I fail to see the appeal this brand holds for the informed WIS.

PS - Okay, so that new Ferrari 250 GTO-inspired tourbillon is kinda nice...

[p_mcgee]

For the price I'd rather have an AP in general.

Me too. They have a better history, similar styling, and don't have "bang" in every single model name. In response to one of the other posters, I actually have seen Hublots in person - they weren't any more attractive.

[steveclocks]

I really like all your opinions! It's nice to hear pro and contra

[TSW]

Not a fan.

Spot on Adam... and well said.

[bayerische]

Not my cup of tea. For the money I'd take an AP. (somewhat similar and more adult styling)

[gwalker]

I think they are extremely innovative. I don't know that I'd ever buy one but I think they do make quality watches. I like the wide range of materials they use.

[Kyu]

I love Hublots !
I dont know why but they are just cool to me

I have a few and my gf has one also that I bought her as a gift

I want the Carbon version only if i wasnt so clumsy with watches,
I'm afraid I'll shatter it one day, I use these as my daily wear whatever watches
meaning I bang it around i know...

but heres a few pics :)
Tried to cut out the pic of the safari next to the rg so people wont get confused
Stainless steel Big Bang 44m
Rose gold Big Bang 44m
SS with Factory Diamond forgot size but one below mine

[iLLGT2]

Appreciate the brand, however, do not love the brand....

Mine don't really get much wear, they just aren't comfortable to me ! Good fit and finish, especially on my Super B.. Pre big bang where each case were carved out of a solid mass of steel and finishings were just fantastic...My friend owns the boca boutique so I get to see them all of the time, try whichever etc.. They just don't sing to me like AP, Panerai and Jaeger

[Kyu]

depends on people I guess,
Without the hublot in my case, The collection just looks a tad bit boring.

I like wearing them also, the Rose gold is a pretty well balanced watch in weight, To me anyways.
and the Stainless steel is alright also,
When we were out shopping for the white band w/ diamonds

we checked around every where, I told her don't worry about the price tag just pick anything that just comes to her attention and feels right

out of about 80 watches she looked at, she loved the hublot (which in my case was a saver, it was the cheapest out of the bunch we've been walking around placing on hold)


I love my AP's but I also love my Hublots,
As for comfort I find my Hublots much more comfortable than my AP's
I have both ali Leather , Rubber , Titanium, SS for AP
I prefer Hublot for comfort out of all them.
Should give their sticky rubber a try, of all their rubber band line, it's my fav

[cakey007]

I really like them, had a big bang a couple years back, but it went to pay towards my wedding. Really comfortable to wear and quite hard wearing-my old man was wearing it and caught it on a stone wall, I never did find the mark.it was a large impulse buy when I got it but the price rises have put it too high for me to justify going back to.

My evolution big bang fits like a square around my wrist, opposed to a form fitting, fit so to speak... It leaves gaps on both sides of the wrist and just feels awkward.. If I wear it all day however I get use to it, it's when I wear other pieces and let it sit for a bit, I throw it on and just feels weird, same with my JLC on deploy, i'm just not a deployant type guy I guess..

My AP roo rubber clad leaves a small AP indentation on my wrist, but it never feels too tight or uncomfortable.

I love them all, I think my problem now a day's is just having too much... I really lost appreciation for a bunch of pieces and my collection as a whole I guess since I don't have much time to become real intimate with ONE piece for a elongated period of time...

[Kyu]

the Evolution used a different band, than regular big bangs.
Those are a bit uncomfy, felt a little weird. was thinner and less moldy
The big bang has most comfort imho which was the sticky

it's the main reason why i never bought the black carat

Hrm...

Trying to remember my first big bang with the cf/checkered dial, I really don't remember how it fit.. I'm sure if it were as bad however, I would remember it

Awesome watches. For me the fit is great. They feel great when I am wearing them all day. My Daytona is very comfortable but the hublot is just a tad bit more comfortable and I feel it is a little more low key then the Daytona. Great watches and I look forward to what they produce now, such as in house etc. I find it funny that they are so hated. To each their own.

Well, I obviously don't hate them ha... I do however think they're priced too high !

I would like a Unico next, but again the thing was HUGEEEEE and didn't feel comfy to me ! Plus the price is very high
