andrewluffHi Gang, I must start by sending my apologies... I have been overwhelmed since BaselWorld with mix of work, travel, family and life... this has left me very little time for my passion. It has also left me with a hard drive of Basel images and with little time to even look through them...Story

JToddHThis year at Baselworld, Hublot debuted the new Big Bang Unico in Red Ceramic. This was, in my opinion, a significant technological accomplishment for the brand and once again demonstrates their creative dexterity and technical prowess. More importantly, it reminds us of Hublot’s commitment to innovation and its voracious approach to overcoming technical challenges. Hublot is the antithesis of the status quo...Story

JToddHThis year prior to Baselworld, Hublot issued a press release announcing their new Big Bang Sapphire Tourbillon. The brand has created numerous spectacular variations of the Big Bang in sapphire, so it’s easy to imagine how a tourbillon version would look. Or is it? Sure, it’s got a sapphire case. That’s easy to grasp...Story

andrewluffI still remember clearly the day I placed the order for this watch, then the day when they called me to tell me it had arrived from the manufacture and finally the subsequent excitement when I picked it up! This watch was my daily beater for many years, has seen my children being born and has travelling around the world on dive, ski and safari trips, however it still looks like new thanks to the ceramic case. I have recently started wearing it again and realised that this watch is as up to date now as it ... ...Story

foverstaI was invited by the Hublot boutique of the Place Vendome in Paris to discover the full range of the novelties (except the Techframe) which were unveiled during the Geneva week at the beginning of the year. And since with Hublot, things are not the same than with the other brands, I could see and handle 39 pieces!!! Obviously, if you consider any brand, you may think that 39 novelties since the beginning of the year for a brand which exhibits at Basel... and before the Fair... are way too many! And you would .....Story

andrewluff(References: 411. and 465.) Tonight in Courchevel during an exhibition of Fire and Ice, Hublot announced the release of new 2 Limited Edition models called the 'Big Bang Alps'. Luckily, I was able to see the piece last week and able to take some special pictures to share! Both models are limited to 100 pieces and feature a case and bezel made from a new frosted carbon formed from an aggregate of small pieces of rock that give the illusion of granite. This material is widespread throughout the Alps, a mountain .....Story

foverstaUndoubtedly, the Place Vendôme is becoming a true LVMH location. I will not mention the large flagship store which opened its gates a few weeks ago. But in less than one week, I attended two events which were organized around one of the most famous squares in the world. I presented you the inauguration party of the Zenith boutique last week...Story

andrewluffI have tried on many clear watches over the years, all the way from costing several million Swiss Francs down to the original Jellyfish Swatch watch (which was one of my first watches and long lost, but I still have good memories wearing it). Swatch Jellyfish (circa 1985) Since owning my Jellyfish, there has been nothing that I would actually part with my own money for and enjoy as a permanent part of my collection. OK, there were watches I could see myself wearing but with a price tag not to match my budget! ... ...Story
