How about HUBLOT's sub-top mechanical watch brand introduction

Frankly speaking, Hublot, a young brand established in 1980, has today's position in the industry with money, especially after being acquired by LVMH in 08. Dai Hublot is mostly from wealthy families but does not want to be bound by tradition, such as King Juan Carlos of Spain, Crown Prince Albert II of Monaco, Maradona, Pele, football coach Jose Mourinho, NBA's Wade and Kobe, "Lightning Flyer" Usain Bolt, American rapper Jay Z, who sells clothes and shoes, etc. In addition, Hublot is also a partner of Ferrari, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and many other big clubs, and even the FIFA World Cup.
 
Hublot's early products were a bit of Patek Philippe's nautilus and Audemars Piguet's royal oak, and it is also known as the first brand to use precious metals with rubber straps, with sales of $2 million in the first year of its launch, but it did not climb to the top line for the next 20 years, until 2004, when Jean Claude Biver took over, Hublot took over. Biver re-designed the "Big Bang" on the existing design of Hublot, making the bridges on both sides of the case more exaggerated, exposing part of the structure to create a very dynamic image, and more importantly, enlarging the diameter, the previous Hublot still maintained the size of a dress watch, and the Big Bang was suddenly raised to 44 mm, which is similar to the large diameter of Panerai.
 
The entry threshold of Hublot is much higher than that of other brands in the same class, and the cheapest quartz model of the classic fusion series is also as high as 38,000 yuan in China, while the starting price of the manual mechanical model is close to 50,000 yuan. One gear higher than the Big Bang, the cheapest entry model is the 38mm 1170. LR, public price 56,500 yuan. The shell shape of Big Bang is too sporty, and it is difficult to appreciate the style with diamonds on it, or the style of stainless steel and ceramic is more pleasing to the eye, and it is recommended to buy a large watch diameter as much as possible, more than 40 mm is more feeling, and the size of 38 mm is a bit embarrassing, but it is very suitable for friends with small wrists. At Basel 2016, Hublot unveiled the fully transparent Big Bang Unico Sapphire, limited to 500 pieces with a case, bezel, case back and glass.
 
Hublot's most distinctive model must be the MP-05 launched in collaboration with Ferrari, which adopts the design style of a sports car engine, assembled from 637 parts, limited to 50 pieces, with a public price of more than 2 million yuan, and the sapphire case is even as high as 3.5 million.
