The Lone Star State holds an important place in the universe of Hublot. The brand has two very successful boutiques in Texas, one in Houston and the other in Dalles, with a third opening this Spring in Austin. As Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot's CEO, explains the love of the brand for Texas "Hublot has always been at home in Texas thanks to our incredible clients and friends. Part of our original North American footprint, we have embraced the State's bold, adventurous and independent spirit, the same values we are proud to reflect back in this unique timepiece. One of only 25, It is a special piece, for a special place and special people and we think there is no better time than the present to pause a pay tribute to the places we call home - or soon to be home - in the case of our exciting Austin development."

Hublot’s Stunning Hommage To The City By The Bay

Hublot has the ability, like no other, to capture the soul of a place in a timepiece. It has done so for several hot spots in the world already, from the Mediterranian beauty of Capri and Mykonos to the vibrance of Las Vegas and London. Now it is the turn for the "City by the Bay," San Fransisco, to be immortalized in a timepiece. For this, Hublot selected their Big Bang Chronograph and went, as usual, the extra mile.

Hublot Channels Its Inner Alchemist With Spirit Of Big Bang Gold Crystal

With its art of fusion, Hublot never had a problem channeling its inner alchemist. This is an intricate part of their DNA, and it becomes particularly apparent with watches like the Classic Fusion Gold Crystal, which the brand launched last year. This all-black watch was decorated on the dial with gold crystals, offering a bold and irresistible contrast. Today Hublot is launching the next chapter, incorporating the gold crystal in the Spirit of Big Bang.

Three Ceramic Chronographs Make U.S. Navy Squadron Watches Finally Available For The Public

They are every collector's dream, yet the challenges to obtaining them are daunting, a chronograph made for one of the premier squadrons of the U.S. Navy. As one of the most premier makers of pilot's watches, IWC holds since 2018 the license to create timepieces for all U.S. Navy and Marine Corps squadrons. These unique watches are among the rarest, as only a very limited number of them are made, and they are only available for those who are serving or have served at the particular squadron. Now, IWC is making the dreams of, at least some, watch collectors come true as they launch a squadron of their own, with three chronographs inspired by the collaboration with iconic squadrons.

Four Watches For Fathers Day

It is almost Fathers Day again, that time of the year to surprise dad with something special to show our appreciation for all he has done and is still doing. The most precious gift is the time we spend together with him. However, to also give him a constant reminder of how you value him when you cannot be together, a watch might be an appropriate gift.

Hubot Renews Commitment To Save The Rhino With Stunning New SORAI Limited Edition

Hublot has quite a reputation to uphold when it comes to supporting great causes with exclusive limited editions. They continue this tradition by renewing their commitment to SORAI - Save Our Rhino Africa India. This great cause, founded by Kevin Pietersen, is committed to protecting the rhino population. This is unfortunately much needed as the rhino is well on its way towards extinction. SORAI helps by supporting Care for Wild, the largest rhino sanctuary in the world, focusing on rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing rhinos orphaned by poaching.

Watch of the Week: Hublot Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic

At Hublot, the colors seem to become ever more vibrant in regard to their ceramic models. With the launch of the Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic, the brand has proven that it can also produce this primary color in the challenging material that ceramic is. As ceramic is made at very high temperatures, most color pigments tend to burn up. That is why for decades, only white and black could be produced. Hublot was the first to introduce more vibrant colors in 2018, thanks to a newly developed process to create ceramics under pressure at lower temperatures.

Haute Complication: Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Carbon & Black Magic

At the recent digital edition of the LVMH Watch Week, it was the Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Orange Sapphire on which all the spotlights were aimed. This made it that the two other watches featuring the same movement did not get the attention they deserved. It is time to set that record straight, as they have a lot to offer, starting with the gorgeous movement.

IWC Reintroduces 1990s Ceramic Icon As Limited Edition

Not all icons are born as one. Some need a period in which their true potential is recognized before they gain their intended status. This is most certainly true for the IWC Fliegerchronograph ref.3705, which the brand launched in 1994. Already in the 1980s was IWC a pioneer in the field of ceramic, using it, for example, for their Da Vinci perpetual calendar chronograph, another one of their icons. The ref.3705 was the first Fliegerchronograph to be fitted with a ceramic case. It resulted in a watch that had a very clean and utilitarian look. As it was never produced in vast numbers, the watch became a rarity known mainly by die-hard IWC collectors.

Zenith Defy 21 Urban Jungle; A Ceramic Survival Watch For City Life And Outdoor Adventures

Can a watch be everything at the same time? Zenith is making a plausible case that it can, with the new Defy 21 Urban Jungle. For the brand, this model proves to be a versatile canvas that can be lavishly decorated with gemstones, like the previously released Pink Edition, or be down to earth like the Land Rover Limited Edition. Two things that even the more extreme watches in the collection share are their superb performance and strong Zenith-DNA.

Richard Mille Created Mechanical Purity With RM 037 White Ceramic Automatic

Richard Mille is known for its technically advanced models, but that doesn't exclude that its creations cannot be elegant.

Combined with a white rubber strap, does it give the RM 037 a new sense of purity. It has a certain elegance to it, yet also doesn't deny its sportive DNA.
