Hublot Watches
Swiss
Born into the family behind the Binda Group watchmaking company, Italian watchmaker Carlo Crocco (b. 1944) decided to leave the dynasty to create his own company called MDM Genève in 1976. He spent the next few years developing his bold debut product: the Hublot watch.
Named for the French word for “porthole,” the Hublot, which debuted at the 1980 Baselworld watch and jewelry trade show, did indeed look like a porthole. What made the watch stand out, however, was its radical “fusion” approach to design — that is, the combination of a complex gold case with a band made from rubber. At the time, most high-end watches featured wristbands crafted from luxury materials, so the humble rubber material was a radical shift from fashion trends.
The rubber wristband wasn’t just made from any old rubber. Crocco reportedly spent $1 million developing the material to create the perfect blend of durability and style. The result was a watch that felt sportier than its competition but had all the technical makings of a luxury timepiece. Crocco’s risk paid off, with A-list clients from Prince Albert of Monaco to Jay-Z strapping Hublots to their wrists (the latter collaborated with the brand to produce two watches in 2013).
In 2004, watchmaker Jean-Claude Biver became CEO of the company, pushing the brand into the 21st century, including through major collaborations with athletes like sprinter Usain Bolt and artists like Shepard Fairey.
In 2005, Hublot launched the Big Bang watch, a fresh statement on the brand’s inventive mixing of tradition and technology with options ranging from gold and a tire-tread-like rubber to a sapphire crystal casing. Other models include the Classic Fusion in 2008, which recalls the 1980s design, and the Manufacture Pieces (MP) collection, which features complex movements. The luxury Swiss watch company continues to innovate, all the while staying true to its “art of fusion” roots.

Questions About Hublot Watches
- Does Hublot use real diamonds?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024Yes, Hublot uses real diamonds. Many of the Swiss watchmaker's timepieces feature genuine diamond accents. One luxurious example is the Classic Fusion High Jewellery 2023 watch, which is set with 421 baguette-cut diamonds offset by a black alligator leather strap.

- Are Hublot watches good quality?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024Yes, Hublot watches are good quality. The luxury watchmaker has gained a reputation for being highly innovative. Specifically, experts praise its "fusion" approach to design. This refers to how Hublot combines complex cases expertly crafted out of gold and other fine metals with unexpected strap materials, such as proprietary rubber. Shop a collection of Hublot watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024How much a Hublot watch is worth varies. Entry-level timepieces start at around $2,000, while limited edition and other highly sought-after models may sell for more than $40,000. Generally, the style, materials, age and condition will impact the value of a Hublot watch. To learn how much your timepiece may be worth, use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. Find a large selection of Hublot watches on 1stDibs.
- Does Hublot use real gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024Yes, Hublot uses real gold. The Swiss luxury watchmaker is known for pioneering its own gold alloy. Called Magic Gold, it is a form of 18-karat gold with superior color and scratch resistance. Find a large selection of Hublot watches from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Why is Hublot so expensive?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Hublot is so expensive for a few reasons. First, the Swiss luxury watchmaker uses premium materials, some of which are produced by the company itself, adding to costs. Hublot also handcrafts timepieces through a painstaking process, so its labor costs are high. Plus, Hublot has been cited as only manufacturing around 50,000 watches per year, which makes supply low relative to demand. Shop a collection of Hublot watches on 1stDibs.
- What does Hublot stand for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024Hublot doesn't stand for anything. Rather than being an acronym for something, Hublot is the French word for a porthole or small round window on a ship. The brand name refers to the iconic circular bezel found on early timepieces produced by the Swiss watchmaker. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Hublot watches.
- Is Hublot worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Many watch lovers believe that Hublot is worth it. Named after the French word for “porthole,” the Hublot, which debuted at the 1980 Baselworld watch and jewelry trade show, did indeed look like a porthole. What made the watch stand out, however, was its radical “fusion” approach to design — that is, the combination of a complex gold case with a band made from rubber. At the time, most high-end watches featured wristbands crafted from luxury materials, so the humble rubber material was a radical shift from fashion trends.
In 2004, watchmaker Jean-Claude Biver became CEO of the company, pushing the brand into the 21st century, including through major collaborations with athletes like sprinter Usain Bolt and artists like Shepard Fairey. In 2005, Hublot launched the Big Bang watch, a fresh statement on the brand’s inventive mixing of tradition and technology with options ranging from gold and a tire-tread-like rubber to a sapphire crystal casing. Other models include the Classic Fusion in 2008, which recalls the 1980s design, and the Manufacture Pieces (MP) collection, which features complex movements. The luxury Swiss watch company continues to innovate while staying true to its “art of fusion” roots.
However, whether or not it’s worth investing in Hublot is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection.
Find Hublot watches and other watches on 1stDibs. - Is Hublot better than Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Whether or not Hublot is better than Rolex is a matter of preference. Both are luxury watchmakers that have earned sterling reputations over the years and are both equally renowned around the world for their wristwatches. Find an array of watches by both Rolex and Hublot on 1stDibs.
