HUBLOT
1980
THE HISTORY of Hublot
Hublot’s history begins with its' creator – Carlo Crocco, a visionary Italian who first acquired his sense of beauty as a child from a family of watchmakers. He designed his first watch in 1967., and in 1980., he set up he set up the Hublot company, launching the Hublot brand into the stratosphere. The origins of Classic Fusion. Hublot means porthole, and the name was inspired by the original design by Italian Carlo Crocco, who came from the Binda Group, which is more famous for the brand Breil (and Wyler Geneva). In 1980, he created a watch that was completely in sync with its time, or maybe even ahead of it. If you are familiar with Hublot, then you know all about the Big Bang. It’s their big, octagonal sports watch that people think of when they hear the name “Hublot”. Hublot Big Bang watches is the brands most popular and iconic model. That being said, Hublot is an innovative company that won’t go down as being mostly known for only model of watches, and they’ve clearly demonstrated this with their unique and utterly appealing Spirit of Big Bang collection. Spirit of Big Bang isn’t a new collection, as it was first introduced back in 2014, and 5 years in the modern day is pretty much “old news”…but not when it comes to collectible watches. People are still talking about the Spirit of Big Bang and it’s more coveted than ever. That’s why we are putting out this review, because people keep asking about it. So, moving on. With the evolution of the Big Bang came the Spirit of Big Bang. A collection of watches that possesses the wonderful essence of the Big Bang, but in a completely brand new form. One of the biggest change was the octagonal shape to a tonneau shape. The tonneau shape cases was a style that Hublot had previously only saved for its special-edition Masterpiece models. According to Hublot’s US regional director Vincent Vuillaume, the Spirit of Big Bang collection is now the brand’s fourth pillar in their portfolio.
