About Hublot

Hublot was the first house to pair a gold case with a rubber strap, which was considered close to vandalism in 1980 and is now common. LVMH acquired it in 2008, and its name is French for porthole. LVMH owns it, and its Big Bang model, launched in 2005, mixed gold, ceramic, carbon fibre and rubber in a single case in a way the industry had avoided.
