Honestly this is an excellent service.
Most 'normal' watch owners don't own multiple watches to grace their wrists while their watch is in service for weeks to months. This period of absence is nicely bridged by the Atelier Watch.
More companies should follow the example.
Even with a quartz moment, I suspect there will be a future black market for these watches at a hugely inflated price.

Hublot breaks new ground with an"Atelier Watch"
Luxury means care in every detail. And we know that where luxury is concerned, after sales service is a companys visiting card. Now Hublot, already a pioneer in todays world of fine watchmaking, is going one step further in customer relations with the l...
Great idea...
But I also like the watch..!! Pop in an auto movement, leather strap and you'd have a great sporty, simple Hublot watch :) Might have to get a Hublot just to send it in for service..!! Yours, Andy.
A good idea... at least ...
a company take action to 'bridge the absence' for 3 to 6 months. Now this is a talking point, a watch which is 'not for sale', making many will want it :-) At the same time, motivates the owners to send the watch in for servicing and get to know the end-c...
come on, come on...
Honestly, even if I consider this Atelier Watch as a very good idea, I don't agree with the style of the press release. First of all, the "service watch" was already existing in the Carlo Crocco period. I would have been happy to read the reference. And o...

THANK YOU!
As a manager for a Hublot Boutique this is the answer to my prayers! This will take the edge off of telling clients the estimated service time and hopefully encourage more of my clients to bring their watches in for servicing! It's always such a shame to ...
Good idea... Awful execution...
I don't think many would want it... and I certainly wouldn't! Great idea, but its not new there are a few brands who have done it! Would you wear a watch with a big 'not for sale' on the face... No! On the back, then its a great idea not the cheap attempt...
Doesn't "Not For Sale" sound exclusive?
I do see your point, Andrew, but perhaps they should have put "Not For Sale At Any Price. Ever". :-) Then it would be even more desirable. Certainly better than all the other 'branding' and sponsorship emblazoned across the dial. Andrew (in a somewhat pla...
Analogous to the car industry ...
Perhaps "Service Watch" or "Courtesy Watch" on the dial would be appropriate? Andrew
Now that would be much better!
That would be about 1,000 times better and not look cheap. Its a really great idea, maybe just a little thought into the person wearing it would have made the idea even better. Cheers Andrew
Another testament to Hublot's great emphasis on customer service.
Surely, this is an area Hublot has been very productive at developing, and they are to be commended for it.
Yes of course it's nice to have a "service watch"
but I have to agree with the majority; I think they could have provided a rather more acceptable design and promotion.
I think the 'NOT FOR SALE' is superfluous...
...at least on the face. Nevertheless, I reckon it's an excellent idea to roll out on such a scale ! After all, often all the Afer-Sales-service customer wants is a little recognition of their pain (ask me how I know...! :-( ), and this will go a long way...
