Carlo Crocco, who moved to Switzerland in 1976 starting the Hublot company. The name comes from a French word that means “porthole.” The first Hublot wristwatch, which showcased a porthole style case and a natural rubber strap, took him three years to analyze and produce. Due to its unconventional design and craftsmanship, Hublot quickly became a popular preference among royalty and celebrities, as well as a top Swiss brand. The Hublot brand’s signature design is an eccentric combination of precious metal and rubber. The Hublot Big Bang chronograph watch was launched in 2005 and swiftly became a top seller, earning numerous awards.
Hublot was acquired by the luxury conglomerate LVMH in 2008, and the company has since broadened its factory, which designed and produced in-house movements such as a dial-side column-wheel chronograph movement, the Hublot UNICO. Hublot continues to develop and strengthen its extensive watch collection, offering a unique line of top-quality wristwatches.
