Report of the Blue Party in Paris: Hublot x Italia Independent

I presented you in details the Big Bang Unico Italia Independent in this article:
hublot.watchprosite.com

As explained, the watch symbolizes one of the strategic directions of Hublot more focused on lifestyle to enlarge its customers base. In this context, when such watch is officially released, it has  to be supported by a great party in order to give to both partners the opportunity to properly express their ambitions and to get the right communication relays.

As usual with Hublot the party was great. But when you add the Lapo Elkann touch, it really becomes unforgettable! Lapo is not only the Italia Independent flag bearer. He is also a true Hublot ambassador and believe me, he is fully committed.

I propose you to browse the pictures I shot during the event which took place at the Monsieur Bleu Restaurant by the Eiffel Tower. So ready for the fireworks of Hublot wristshots?


A few steps from the party venue, one of the most famous Paris monuments under a beautiful sunshine:

I would like to thank a lot Hublot, and especially Hublot France for this great party. The Big Bang Unico Italia Independent is  now on good tracks!

Thanks Mark! Emmanuel is very happy since his boutique is growing. He is now a Rolex detailer what is very impressive for a relatively new boutique! Fx

Thanks for bringing us this wonderful coverage Fx! While I love grey watches, I fully agree the blue version is the best expression of the case material and brands partnership.

Thanks Michael! And I think that a lot of people prefer the blue one... The true "Italia Independent" color! By the way, I have just bought blue glasses from them! :) Fx

You know that a 'blue party' has a different meaning FrX, You know that a 'Blue Party' has a different meaning where I come from? Maybe not as colourful but certainly more interesting (if that can be possible) than a Hublot watch event. Then, again there was that infamous Hublot party in the Caribbean.........

In France, it also has a similar meaning... Anyway, Lapo Elkann is Agnelli's grandson. He founded his own brand which is the object of this partnership with Hublot. He is very well known in the Fashion world. Fx

Hands on review of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Italia Independent

Without any doubt, Hublot is not lacking in astuteness. While many brands remain hesitant about the type of communication to be adopted, moving a bit away from messages with technical contents to the attention of watch lovers to use more often a communication towards "lifestyle" customers , Hublot rushes into this new trend by signing a partnership with the fashion brand of the grandson of Giovanni Agnelli, Lapo Elkann. Such an association may look like an odd alliance and yet I have rarely seen a partnership of this type also well thought out. I can already hear the criticisms.
