    -------------------------
    Today, Anna dives into why Hublot gets so much hate, and why they may not actually be as bad as everyone says.
    Hublot is frequently written off as a superficial brand of poor quality, the kind of watch solely purchased by the uninformed consumers of the world, but that isn't inherently true. MDM Geneve (now defunct) released the Hublot watch in 1980, and it was a downright classically proportioned watch at the time. Of course, in 1993 when AP released the Royal Oak Offshore, things changed. Now, sporty really meant sport, and Hublot had to catch up. By 2005, with the help of Jean-Claude Biver, Hublot entered the modern age with the Big Bang. There was plenty of complaining that Hublot ripped off the Offshore, and while yes, the similarities are numerous and obvious, Biver defends this by noting that both watches took inspiration from a ship's porthole, so by simply referring to the same source material, of course they would look similar. He's not wrong.
    The second major criticism is that the watches are of poor quality. This stems, in large part, from the original Big Bang, which sought to compete with the likes of AP and Patek in style but without the manufacture heritage and construction that those brands are notorious for. A modular chronograph movement is by no means bad, but it directly conflicted with the luxury ideology at the time, and the image just kind of, well, stuck with the brand years after. Despite this, their quality has certainly increased dramatically, from innovative case materials to in-house movements of their own.
    Lastly, there is this common criticism that "I just don't like Hublot." Their image, frankly, does leave something to be desired, having become pretty quickly associated with the things that made the Offshore an ugly mistake of a watch, but this is not their entire brand anymore, and that's the thing to keep in mind.

      I love the Hublot Big Bang. It is stunning and beautiful. And I love seeing the movements in both the front and back.
      Rolex may be fine quality but boring. I think of a rolex like a Lacoste Tshirt. Good but Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz puts me to sleep. And even Breitling which has a hair more pizazz is still mundane compared to a Hublot. The larger shaped Hublots are a bit too large for my tastes but two nights ago I did a lap through a super high end watch store and was bedazzled by the Hublot Big Bang. I don't like the name but the watch is the coolest I have ever seen in my life.
      I struck up a conversation about Hublot with the salseperson and before I knew it I had a Hublot Big Bang strapped on my wrist. I am not much of a watch person and up until now my favorite watch is a Skagin super thin. I love it at any price though it is pretty affordable. I know it is tabu in the high end watch community but I love the rubber wrist band over leather.

    People hate on Hublot like they hate on Richard Mille, they are both vastly overpriced brands that have attracted a market largely concerned with nothing other than conveying that they have the wealth to pay huge sums for a luxury item. Rolex, Patek and AP are also overpriced and also attract these sorts of buyers but they have earned a reputation of incomparable heritage and craftsmanship which gives them kudos with the true self titled horologists.
    Personally I have no issue with someone who enjoys a Hublot or RM, just as I equally appreciate the admiration someone might have for their $20 Casio. After all, it’s the enjoyment of the timepiece and the personal meaning behind its ownership that gives this hobby its magic, not whether someone owns an “acceptably cool” brand that needs the approval from the died in the wool watch enthusiasts

      But RM at least has really good movements, they know what they are doing. Hublot is just straight up overpriced. The cost of luxury watches such as APs, Pateks etc comes not only from them being a luxury item but also because the work required to produce one is very expensive, as there are few people who know how to manufacture them and it takes a lot of time until they are finished. Hublot doesn't have that, so they are even more overpriced

      @@bobafett4457 yes they are overpriced (most luxury watches are if we are being honest) but I guess Hublot are using (very successfully) the approach that clothing brands like Gucci use where their value is based on the brand that’s written on the product as opposed to the product itself. They know that the vast majority of Rolex customers have theirs because of the brand and not so much the quality of the watch so they’ve ran with that and are killing it, kudos to them I say. We have to realise that people like ourselves who appreciate watches for their heritage and technical superiority are only a small segment of the watch market, Hublot targets the types that want a Rolex because it says Rolex on the dial

    It all depends on what moves you... I love my Hublot classic fusion chronograph (in blue) and get compliments on it all the time.
    I chose it after a long watch hunt, having looked at a bunch of different watch styles (Rolex, Nomos, Omega, IWC, Cartier, Grand Seiko, etc.), but it was the trying on the Hublot sparked the most joy on the wrist.
    Additionally, the Hublot boutique experience was by far the most welcoming experience I had... Every Hublot boutique I've gone into encourages interaction with the watches, handing over $100k watches to try on for fun (rather than some boutiques that treated me like I was there to clean the trash bin).
    Lots of people don't like them because of their wrist size or they don't have the stature. Totally fine. Get something that's more fitting to your style taste... but I felt like an accountant wearing most of the other 'traditional' brands on my wrist.

    I accidentally walked into a Hublot boutique the other day, thinking I was in the JLC store which was next door. I was actually amazed at the quality of their watches and the fantastic customer service. Although too big for my liking I do admit Hublot are a forward thinking brand. I didn't mind some of their materials and designs now having seen them in the flesh. The staff were very helpful and friendly, letting me handle the pieces and showing me the straps etc. Then I left and walked into JLC. Which I was intending to visit to order a strap for my Reverso which I was wearing. To my disgust, I experienced the worst customer service ever. There were 3 ladies staff. They looked at me as if I had violated their space by visiting their store. Then one of them literally said what do you want. I told them I was after a strap. Without even asking any questions she rejected my query straight out by saying they don't have stock because of Covid. She didn't give me any waiting time frame or ask me about my watch. It was the rudest, pathetic service ever. Then within 5 minutes of me walking into the store she escorted me to the door. What the f@#$? A monkey could have been trained to provide a better experience. JLC have the worst customer service ever and with sales staff like that I would sell my Reverso to buy a Hublot, I am so ashamed to be wearing your brand.

    As much I respect Patek Phillipe, Rolex and Audemars Piguet. I'm actually a fan of Hublot especially from the point Mr Biver was very active at Hublot. Yes some of their watches look outrageous but they have a lot of fun and standout beautiful looking pieces. In terms of craftsmanship, lets be honest, they've been very innovative in terms of new materials i.e magic gold, one of the first t use rubber straps on precious metals and come up with so many strap material variations like nomex which some other brands have adopted . Hublot have their own In house movements and complications so think they deserve some respect of their own. I don't care what nobody says "I do like Hublot" and very open minded about something new not the usual traditional and reputable brands like the other big 3 in the Industry I mentioned.

    If "everyone" hated hublot, then the company would've been in bankruptcy long ago... there needs to be hundreds of thousands if not millions of people who like or even love the brand and what it offers to the point of still being in the market and even having the luxury of selling them for thousands of dollars...
    So this is a fallacy!

    OK, you may not like a particular design/look (like with all manufacturers), but you can’t have it both ways and say Hublot is “subpar” given the materials they use and when a number their pieces utilize for instance a skeletonized version of the Zenith El Primero chronograph movement (also employed in some highly collectible Rolex Daytona models), in addition to in-house movements like the incredibly accurate UNICO and the HUB1201, which was developed over a span of two years specifically for the MECA-10 model with 10 days of power reserve.

I heard the bad things they say about this brand, but if u r not a watch lover, it’s just a symbol for money, I’m not into that anymore since the iwatch came. Way 2 much money , except u have to represent a company. I didn’t sold any, but I hardly wear one. So in the end i would say if u love watches (unlike me) buy what U like, not what experts say, u never going to sell it anyway

You can't use traditional attitude when approaching Hublot, it's a new brand, it's normal that they don't focus on heritage since they have none. What they have is modern technology and designs. It's fun with great quality.

    Just a personal opinion, although I respect others opinion,personally I always think we should buy things that we like and not because of what others think especially when they say should buy certain brand because of resale value
    Actually I never see any friends selling their Rolex during these 10 years time also many friends can't even buy Rolex from AD so at the end they buy from grey market at double the retail price at the city I'm staying in so I don't really see the resale value also

If u have the money buy what u like I say, don't limit your choice to just a few brands.

They struggled to sell because of the overpriced steel watch that look different. Also the Daytona when it was released struggled big time. Look how 30 years have changed for these time pieces.

    Totally agree. Take Hublot Spirit with Meca-10 hand-wound movement for example. If it had Richard Mille written on it, Nico would be creaming his pants. Or take Unico 1280 movements with silicon everything fly back chronograph and 3 day power reserve ... decent stuff IMO. Ok, Zenith El Primero 21 is more interesting and better deal ... but Hublot is not the shite that people claim it is. And trust me, once you start noticing that even your neighbourhood convenience store clerk is wearing a Rolex, you’ll be craving something different. Perhaps even Hublot.
